In an episode of "Running Wild With Bear Grylls," which aired Thursday, President Barack Obama attempts to highlight the effects of climate change.

"The wild doesn't care who you are," Grylls said, introducing the 42-minute episode featuring the leader of the free world trekking through the Alaskan wilderness.



At the beginning, the odd pair of adventurers stare at some glaciers, which Grylls notes have receded since Obama took office in 2008.

"It underscores once again why it's so important for us to pay attention to climate change and understand that there's something we can actually do about it." Obama said.

The President gets pretty wild for a world leader -- even eating some bloody salmon previously chewed on by a bear.

He refuses, however, to drink his own urine.

Can you blame him?
