During his speech today at Yosemite National Park, President Obama gave his obligatory warnings about climate change:
Pres also urges nation to protect National Parks from ravages of climate change and pollution. Says Earth "the only planet we've got."

The jokes always write themselves when Obama talks about “pollution”:
Not often you see a presidential motorcade in @YosemiteNPS. Nice novelty for the wildlife. pic.twitter.com/Vh2VvYLsV5

Nobody leads by example like President Obama!

The president might give the animals one final “clean environment” wave as he flies over in Air Force One on the way back to DC.
This administration’s sense of humor might be its greatest legacy:
The beauty of the National Park System is ‘it belongs to everybody," says Pres Obama, urging Americans to visit.
