                    Kerry Warns About Global Climate Change

   U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has told an audience in Jakarta,
   Indonesia, that climate change is a threat to the entire world.
   Kerry said the science of climate change is compelling the world to act
   and that the science is absolutely certain.
   He stressed that 97 percent of scientists agree that climate change is
   happening and that it is caused by human activity.
   Many scientists say a warmer planet means a rise in sea levels, which
   could have a dangerous impact on island nations like Indonesia.
   Kerry arrived in Indonesia Saturday from China where he talked about
   global warming and other matters with President Xi Jinping.
   The two issued a joint statement recognizing the need for what they
   call urgent action to fight climate change and to work together to cut
   greenhouse gas emissions.
   Many scientists believe burning fossil fuels in cars and factories is a
   major cause of global warming. The United States and China are the
   world`s two biggest polluters.
   Indonesia is the last stop on Kerry`s six-day Asian tour, which, along
   with China, included a stop in Seoul.
