| Barack Obama, Leonardo DiCaprio Team Up Against Climate Change

| President Barack Obama and actor Leonardo DiCaprio teamed up on the White House South Lawn on Monday to sound a call for urgent action to combat climate change.
Obama told a crowd gathered for the "South by South Lawn" festival of technology and music that the world is in "a race against time" to combat climate change.
The president said the world gets an "incomplete" grade on its response to global warming so far, but he added that "the good news is we can still pass the test."
"I tend to be a cautious optimist about our ability to make change," Obama said.
Neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton was mentioned in the discussion, but their presence was nonetheless felt.
DiCaprio, who recently completed a documentary film about climate change, told the White House crowd that he had timed the film to come out before the presidential election.
DeCaprio, who supports Hillary Clinton's campaign, said the scientific consensus about the dangers of climate change is in, and "the argument is now over."
He added: "If you do not believe in climate change, you do not believe in facts or in science. And therefore, in my humble opinion, you should not be allowed to hold public office."
