Maybe the POTUS should look out his window.
On Saturday President Obama told an audience at the University of Queensland that no country was immune to the effects of climate change and that everyone must play a role in fighting the global phenomena.
'Here in the Asia Pacific, nobody has more at stake when it comes to thinking about and then acting on climate change,' he said during his speech.
'Here a climate that increases in temperature will mean more extreme and frequent storms, more flooding, rising seas that submerge Pacific islands.
'Here in Australia, it means longer droughts, more wildfires – The incredible natural glory of the Great Barrier Reef is threatened.
‘I have not had time to go to the Great Barrier Reef and I want to come back and I want my daughters to be able to come back and I want them to be able to bring their daughters or sons to visit and I want that there 50 years from now.
Climate change wasn't on the formal agenda prepared by the Australian Prime Minister during the G20, but supportive statements by President Obama ensured its inclusion in the final statement.
