WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama said his administration has "an obligation" to address carbon emissions and climate change.
Scientists observing Hurricane Sandy, a late October storm that hit the U.S. East Coast, said the intensity of the storm was in part a result of warming trends in the region.
Obama, in a news conference Wednesday, took note of the "extraordinarily large number of severe weather events" in recent years.
"I am a firm believer that climate change is real, that it is impacted by human behavior and carbon emissions," he said. "And as a consequence, I think we've got an obligation to future generations to do something about it."
