The president of the Seychelles Danny Faure has accused world leaders of being "blind" to the threat of climate change, MSN reported. 

He said in an interview to Sky News that his country was "paradise on Earth" and appealed to governments to do their best to help save it.

President Faure spoke out as he was shown around the Ocean Zephyr, the mothership for the Nekton mission that will use submersibles to survey the deep-water reefs of the tropical archipelago.
