Lame Duck US President photo op field trip to Florida Everglades in Air Force One used 10,000+ gallons of gas, about what the average South Florida commuter uses over ten years-Miami Herald, Earth Day visit, Letter to the Editor

4/23/15, "Earth Day visit," Miami Herald, Letter to the Editor

"I saw Air Force One landing in Miami. Majestic. 

President Obama came to advance the cause of combating climate change.

I figured his little field trip used upwards of 10,000 gallons of gas, or about what the average South Florida commuter consumes in 10 years’ time.

If actions speak louder than words, global warming is but a photo op for the political class.

Jaime Basagoitia, Miami"
