Anchorage, September 3 (RHC)-- U.S. President Barack Obama continued his trip to the Arctic just weeks after his administration permitted oil giant Shell to begin oil drilling in the remote Arctic waters off the coast of Alaska. Obama toured a glacier and spoke about the already visible impacts of climate change.

The U.S. president's tour comes as the environmental group 350.org and the European Green Party launch the "Divest for Paris" challenge, calling on institutions, individuals and governments to divest from fossil fuels ahead of the climate summit in Paris later this year.
