then caught a glass twice convicted of corruption. mexico just grunted him asylum. they seized, encouraged him out, the embassy, shoving and knocking the mex can head of mission, rebecca to consent. go to the ground as he tried stilton sitting in the president of his mind. will lopez over the door says that the seizure and the storming of the embassy is against international law. so that's the seal. this is about a violation, you know, not just against the sovereignty of our country, but the writer was silent, the right of all countries to protect their embassy, to show that he did it. most of the latin american region agrees with the national and this countries on the left, on the right from brazil to watch and tina condemned deck with those actions and the organization of american states. the o a s began on choose day 2 days of meetings to address the incident and the rules for diplomatic relations an asylum very much speaking of the way as meeting a quinoa is representative, remain defiant, same met, screwed,
2:31 am
violate to the principal of normal intervention by protecting glass, it is not legal to grant asylum through those people who has been convicted or under indictment for crimes or by regular confident. of course, we hope that mexico would comply with the these rules when it came to mister glass. and we can see that they did not respect us, and he can not, in any way be considered as a political prisoner or the white house on tuesday, the national security advisor condemned that could those that issues. we've reviewed the security camera footage from the mexican embassy and believe these actions were wrong. the ecuadorian government disregarded its obligations under international law as a host state to respect the and by lability of diplomatic missions and jeopardize the foundation of basic diplomatic norms and relationships. noble, they most scandals tell yeah. mix cases it's now reading its case to go to the
2:32 am
international court. just this is for you john holman. out to 0 mexico citizen. the pro is now the month of march has broken another temperature, rat cold. it was the warmest, well, all the world has ever seen. it's all say mock be 10 consecutive months to register the hottest because globally, environment plus our mutual, let's just say it's called a great concern. a lot states and for the moment it makes the whole family deductible in use and hop not here on because there are you can find out more information on the website itself to 7 don't come. these continues on, i was there with dying last features to stay with the on counting the costs to india is economy is on the vines, but the nation's wealth gap is whitening. cus is spending millions of dollars to clean up its industrial facilities. costs millions of uses around the world will
2:33 am
now have to buy microsoft office without counting the cost on out as the era the the way on doing what other land disappears. the evening change the ship to use home of the underwater on these coastal areas are going to be flooded over the
2:34 am
i've lived here, my life over here is this louisiana. we phase many coal. so problems because of the costly eroding land they're not going to be lane will have levies which are basically land masses that are formed in like a wall to keep high sea levels out. the might of some people still live outside the lock systems. they're starting to leave their land and they've been on for hundreds of use. low is ancient lane. whenever land goes, everything goes with the turn out to the dangerous new storm tribes across the south tornado of human activities.
2:35 am
global warming has ended the heat, a global binding as a right the the rate of temperature increase. this without precedent, we're facing a future that we don't understand. we can predict fully a lot of places are simply not going to be comfortable to live in. all human settlements have to face this problem. they grew up in a climate which is going to be much different from the climate. we're going to get the, you can see the intense rain stores. you can see the incredible heat waves where people are dying, large population. so we'll have to move all over the world because of sea level
2:36 am
rise. we're going to see more categories, 4 and 5. hurricane, so maybe even categories we've never experienced before, we're about to get a brand new climate. the climate change means we have to live different now mediately, 10 years ago, 20 years ago for very late getting started, the move somewhere else. and the higher elevation, the
2:37 am
i was working in the early 19 seventy's as an astrophysicist, but it had very little direct connection with what was going on a nurse. and ultimately, that's where i wanted to focus. how could the science that i news be applied to solving problems that are really important to humanity as a whole? how warm the plan that will get and whether the conditions under which human beings and other species drive will remain close to what they are today? or things just going to spin out of control. ok, so we start with driving forces. those are what are the emissions going to be? and it's not that easy. if you think about it, what are we going to be doing $3050.00, a 100 years from now? that's going to cause human beta emissions. how does the political system going to respond? how does the human psyche get a response?
2:38 am
there you get in an area which is really impossible to predict. and the question then becomes, how do you fix up between these events? how do you recover from a hurricane before you have time to really fix the damage? the question i guess we might, as of drake, they'll pick up next time is why do we do nothing? thank you. the louisiana is for the one of the more climate sensitive places really on the planet . we are very vulnerable to climate change because this is a low lying area that is in the hands of a lot of hurricane. as the
2:39 am
ocean gets warmer, we are seeing an increase in the intensity for games. 2 of the 3 largest hurricanes to hit louisiana and the recorded histories and have hit this decade in 20202021. the whenever a hurricane comes, it's only got so much time till it comes in during the hurricane. uh, as it was hitting, i was watching people's houses and breaking in half the roofs getting torn off the back fence. this came down, trees started falling, the house was shaken and then uh, i can look outside my window and uh, watch my neighbors porch for the hot
2:40 am
dog. i'll be on uh the next day, everything like destroyed we have seen a r v. a flipped over. and after going through a try, see if anybody was inside, it was one of my neighbors. i was old man, he had passed away, we didn't have no cell service. so we just had to wrap up the body and try to keep it as preserved as possible. and so then we could contact authorities and after they could contact the family, amazement sale kind of side was kind of like last history. the everything was in balance or relatively so until we started burning so much fossil fuels. when you burn, stylus of jewels or releases carbon dioxide molecules, which stand out as here for a very long time and they reflect the outward radiation doc down to earth. there's
2:41 am
more energy coming into the plan and that is going out of the planet into space. so the plan has no choice, but the more fossil fuels we burn, the higher the planet and look at that say the places that are now side and dry, but you know, wind up being a side or dryer places that now occasionally did heavy rainstorms, most likely to be even heavier, if we don't get ahold of it now, get the problem under control. we'll just have health to pay the as i began my work in the environmental community. and the 1st big issue i took on was air pollution. but while i was investigating it,
2:42 am
i ran across to climate change problem in the literature, and then the p a report on the environmental impacts of cold. and i was so astonished that we, as human beings would be warming up the planet. and it turned out nobody was working on nobody's trying to make it a publication. the this for this really is some significance because this was given to me with a nice inscription by senator 10 worth of colorado from july 28th. 1988. the purpose of this bill was to establish a national energy policy to reduce global warming. this was a leading edge. this bill to begin to address climate change. we asked people what climate change was all about. they wouldn't have
2:43 am
a clue. we're starting from scratch 0. i spent most of my time talking to scientists so that i could understand the problem on the one hand and asked them to come forward to be outspoken. i got a call from someone named grace palmer. it was a well known environmental activist who was looking for uh, maybe companionship on the road to try to solve a very difficult problem. it was very good at working behind the scenes and convincing senators a 2 fold congressional hearings on climate change. so michael became one of the prominent scientists to be outspoken on the issue. there were very few things in life that i ever get frightened about. this was one of how
2:44 am
is it that human beings actually could come eventually to control? we are, as climate is going, the typical scientist was saying, i can just tell you information, but i'm not gonna talk politics or talk about what, what should change. and people like oppenheimer decided to speak out. this is really break the i think if you look at some of my congressional testimony, you'll notice that i got it just about right. i would predict that we would see the effects of climate change relatively near in the future, perhaps in a couple of decades. i was very clear when i spoke to senator, is this going to be big problems unless we start cutting emissions that the
2:45 am
moving the politics of climate change is a huge task because you have an enormous portion of the economy that is dependent on the use of fossil fuels, so all those interest created a fictional story about the issue in order to diminish any political chance of action they didn't want. 6 the average person to know what the truth wasn't that climate change of the exxon is now and why other than one of the largest oil producing companies in the world. we know that exxon scientists in the 1980s were fully aware of the gravity of the problem. their predictions were
2:46 am
very good, very accurate. it was very well understood that c o 2 had a major role maintaining the restrict balance of temperature. we knew where the temperature was going to go, was only portion of how fast it was going to get, not if the but the method all out, they knew how it would affect their company. if society wanted to do something about this, fossil fuels would have to go at some point they were not interested in, in long term concerns with the funding. they're really enjoying the short term profits, the, the never published anything about what we found. so mobile is going to have a 2 sided attitude towards climate. if you feel uncomfortable about mobiles position, let us know they were not only funding and saying it wasn't a problem. they were publishing reports saying this is not an urgent problem. don't
2:47 am
drive the car, they say the big cars is safe or is there a global warming problem? thousands of scientists say no to this day, we suffer from that propaganda. it's something that many people still believe in the science is critical to understand that. but the politics of it are essential to solving the problem. but the politicians become dependent on all these interest companies for money to run their elections they really stopped us from taking action, keeping america competitive requires affordable, entered. how do you get a country that's an oil country to negotiate? not selling more oil. america is addicted to oil. the, the economy of that louisiana was industry is a very,
2:48 am
very precious war. and most everybody worked for the oil industry. and if anything were to happen to be so many people going without jobs and does he live in uh, louisiana young. people like me have officers like signed on early to go into the military or mostly, or my plan for the future is to work for the oil industry. so i feel bad, but there's nothing really much that we could really do to stop it as a single person. the everybody has other things to worry about. do i have enough money to send my children to college? try for the insurance on my house. climate change can see, well yeah, it's important. yeah. it's a big risk,
2:49 am
but we don't have to deal with it right now. the day inevitably comes when you can't push climate change drugs because it's starting to be such a big factor that you can see it in your own life. the is a traumatic because the areas that i once knew and what's called home i go and after all the families docs and everything for a shrimp boats and all that are down there and wants to lay and search the either way. those are going to, you know, a and after we're going to have to start moving further, further up, the person that makes me happy is my girlfriend, carmen. she's one of
2:50 am
a car and she's special. she lives us to me and she understands me. she knows that i've been through i got diagnosed with chronic things on earlier this year as posttraumatic stress disorder. sometimes i could just start to stare off. there's something called like a 1000 yard stare and then i start to flash the i've seen a lot and i've been through a lot. i kind of always get worries and ever something bad happens to mr. russell. how are you doing today? get ready to go get some grass? no, yeah, i already got the boat to the wireless thing. we need to my grandfather used to go and kids grab this tramps but because of all the hurricanes,
2:51 am
nobody wants to live there just outside delivery system is not protected. so they get flooded off the rest of the snow. okay. balance as well. all the elders that live down the values, they live there, the whole life, but they're just not going to be around to fully see it take effect. it is the use that's going to be around whenever it happens. the report that we're really here to talk to somebody. so please give a warm welcome to dr. rhodes.
2:52 am
but i'm also a scientist. i was fired earlier this year for holding up a banner editor of science conference. the banner said, out of the lab and into the streets, and we have that banner for about 30 seconds and for that i was fired. the i'm telling you the story though to explain why more of us scientists aren't out here in the streets with you. is because we are by and large compelled by our institutions to remain neutral, even in the face of environmental devastation. and for over 40 years, most of us have been so on behalf of the community, i apologize for the somebody some time is going to have to grapple with big problems like climate
2:53 am
change. and if we don't, we just push off the responsibility into the future on other generations, including our own children. and that isn't just a matter of science. that's a matter of what are your morals, what are your ethical standards? what do you think about your fellow human being, the quality on the pets? and so 2 options await us in the immediate future. quite a crisis or climate revolution. let's choose revolution. we need the very good by drawing no surprise. short, i have 7 grandchildren and they will all be living on a much warmer planet. with all the consequences, the each generation is going to continue to experience more intense impacts that have to live with them. the bosses don lifted
2:54 am
with a wave furniture that makes me very sad and upset that we we pushed about as hard as we could. we have a 100 year flood now occurring every 5 years. our air is polluted. our strides are on the you know what i think i want to do whenever i get older than life culture and move can see the water pump into the front of the legs. state of mind is pumping up. that's all nice in the back. are those coming up to in the future? i imagine a pretty good future with a stable house living with carmen. but i most probably won't be living in southern louisiana. i might move up to like middle to northern louisiana. my home would be
2:55 am
under water at least to its roof. if not a little bit more. yeah. would you like to maybe come to the boat? i feel like i'd be good on the h, the human habit to create a mess and then move on to somewhere else. but humanity is going to make it stand here. it's not gonna happen at escape or to some other place in the universe. these changes will be rapid, costly, and largely undesirable. the viability of many eco systems is at stake, as it is perhaps the viability of civilization. as we know, the, since the consequences of ignoring climate change will be severe. it's time to act
2:56 am
. now the most say it's so sad that people didn't listen. if i knew this, others were cause they chose to ignore it. i feel a strong sense of disappointment. we tried our best to get people's attention. so i overestimated the potential for change it to the. busy the in the early days when i became aware of the climate issue,
2:57 am
my wife lenore gave birth to our son ethan. and i just thought quite a bit about the world, the scene was going to be living in. and i remember walking on a bridge near our house back in those days, you know, sort of wondering what's going to be like for him, the room 950 more years from now. i get 2081 is going to be most up to one
2:58 am
of these coastal areas are going to be flooded over. it's going to be a band in the front of water. now, some sad to think about big difference. so what do you think we're gonna do as the sun sets individuals within the occupied westbank, the bed of multi family is getting the dinner table ready to break their dainty fast. but the buzz around the table is missing. the woman who used to put it all together ended, but lucy was the rest of the week before the start of his re do officials have not given a reason yet for detaining her during at 8 of the home. if you could help me, if there's a way in the look at the house on his not missing one to or even see members of his property 5 in the occupied west bank,
