Barack Obama to test survivor skills on Bear Grylls show



3.完整新聞內文

US President Barack Obama will trek through the wilderness in Alaska this week

with British TV adventurer Bear Grylls, the NBC channel has announced.


He is due to tape an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls to observe the

effects of climate change on the area, it said.


He is the first president to appear on the show, to be aired later this year.


President Obama is on a three-day tour of Alaska aimed at highlighting the

pace of climate change.


It is part of his administration's efforts to build support for new legislation

significantly capping carbon dioxide emissions from power plants in the US,

as well as raise attention to the ways climate change has damaged Alaska's

natural landscape.


Mr Obama follows several other high profile figures, including actresses Kate

Winslet and Kate Hudson, who have tested their survival skills on the show.


Bear Grylls - a former British special forces soldier - puts celebrities

through their paces in remote forests and mountains across the world, "pushing

 their minds and bodies to the limit to complete their journeys".


This week Mr Obama will become the first sitting US president to visit the

Alaskan Arctic, where he is due to address foreign ministers from Arctic

nations at a conference on climate change.


He is also scheduled to visit glaciers and meet fishermen and native leaders

to discuss rising sea levels, shrinking glaciers and melting permafrost in the

sparsely populated US state.


Before he departed for Alaska, President Obama announced he was changing the

name of Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, to its original

native Alaskan, Denali.


Earlier this month, the president unveiled plans to cut greenhouse gas emission

s from US power stations by nearly a third within 15 years.
