Preview

President Obama visits the state of Alaska Monday. Mr. Obama will speak at a conference where officials, scientists and others are discussing the effects of climate change. The conference is being held to bring attention to the effects of rising temperatures in the Arctic. The aim is to show how these changes affect people in the rest of the world and to suggest what they can do.

During his weekly presidential broadcast, Mr. Obama said Alaskans face more wildfires, melting glaciers and eroding shorelines. Those at the conference will discuss a number of issues, from science cooperation to preventing unregulated fishing.

The State Department is holding the climate change meeting. U.S. officials say the event is not connected to a United Nations event on the subject that starts on November 30.
