Hi, everybody. One of the most urgent challenges of our time is climate change.
We know that 2015 surpassed 2014 as the warmest year on record - and 2016 is on pace to be even hotter. When I took office, I said this was something we couldn't kick down the road any longer -that our children's future depended on our action. So we got to work, and over the past seven-and-a-half years, we've made ambitious investments in clean energy, and ambitious reductions in our carbon emissions1.
We've multiplied wind power threefold. We've multiplied solar power more than thirtyfold. In parts of America, these clean power sources are finally cheaper than dirtier, conventional power. And carbon pollution from our energy sector2 is at its lowest level in 25 years, even
