Obama Launches Global Warming 'Toolkit' as Nation Freezes


Obama Launches Global Warming 'Toolkit' as Nation Freezes

On Monday, President Barack Obama announced the release of a global warming “toolkit,” one day before all 50 U.S. states fell below freezing temperatures. 

The White House says its “resilience toolkit” is an extension of Obama’s “Climate Action Plan” released last year which created the “State, Local, and Tribal Leaders Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience” to help battle pollution and “record heat waves.”
According to Reuters, “After announcing two major global initiatives on climate change last week, the Obama administration pivoted on Monday to American towns and cities to help them adapt to the impacts of global warming.”
A recent Gallup poll finds that just two percent of Americans rate “environment/pollution” as a top concern.
