President Obama and Bill Nye’s fuel-burning Earth Day expedition to the Everglades in Florida has been slightly hampered by rain. Oddly enough, what might have been one of the more ecologically-friendly parts of the trip has been canceled:

The White House might end up blaming man-made climate change for raining out Obama’s fanboat excursion.
@NathanWurtzel It seems @WhiteHouse couldn’t predict the climate a day ahead, but thinks it can 30 years out. https://t.co/r9gvcc2mQo

Go figure.
As for the carbon footprint of Obama’s trip, cutting the fan boat photo op might have helped a little, and the White House says this will take care of the rest:

Oh, OK. So it’s like it never happened then, right?
@markknoller @Benenati44 AND you can keep your doctor!
