World leaders must agree to cut carbon emissions at a UN summit in December because the climate is changing faster than efforts to curb global warming, US President Barack Obama has said during a visit to Alaska.
US President Barack Obama joked on instagram about meeting a "Bear in the park" during his three-day trip to Alaska.
He posted a selfie with British TV adventurer Bear Grylls, who he met during his trip to observe the effects of climate change on the area, with the caption: "Glad this is the only Bear I met in the park - bo."
Obama is trying to build support for tough new rules on carbon emissions from power plants ahead of a hoped-for international climate deal at a UN summit in Paris in December.
Yesterday, he recorded an episode of NBC survival television show, 'Running Wild with Bear Grylls', set to air later this year.
President Barack Obama recorded a video urging for more to be done to protect the landscape from the effects of climate change.
The island of Kivalina in Alaska is quickly disappearing into the ocean, watched by its 400 residents, due to climate change.
