earlier today, the president took his first trip to the everglades.des are 1.5 million acres of a mix of marshland, fresh water, and salt water. the delicate balance of the everglades could be threatened by the rising sea levels. president obama addressed how climate change is not a partisan issue. >> yes this winter was cold in parts of our country, including washington. some people in washington hopefully used a snowball to illustrate that fact. but around the world in the aggregate, it was the warmest winter ever recorded. this is not a problem for another generation. not anymore. this is a problem now. it has serious implications for the way we live right now. stronger storms. deeper droughts. longer wildfire seasons. the world's top scientists are warning that a changing climate already affects the air that our children are breathing. because in places like this, folks don't have time, we don't have time, you do not have time to deny the effects of climate change. >> ground zero for the impact of climate change. our team traveled around the state

what made you decide to end the season with the everglades and the alps? say it was calculated. it was really logistics but it is a poetic ending because at 9:00 on sunday we go to the alps that are going away at an alarming rate. when you talk about tigers or giant tortoises disappearing or whatever those problems seem really minor when you talk about climate change. this is the big kahuna. i have read countless scientific warnings but i wanted to see it through the eyes of people who really know their ice, mountaineers skiers who have been there their whole lives and i wanted to talk to people who don't believe it's a big deal. i went to the skeptics convention of heartland institute and tried to challenge their assumptions on that. at 10:00, the everglades is a great hopeful end because that more than anything else is an example of the folly of man and the price of redemption. they drain that swamp in the '50s, '40s and '50s to create a paradise in florida but nobody realized that without that swamp and all the gators and critters that live in it there
