6:18 am
cambra now. well, we're seeing a very diverse and very dramatic range of weather. events, floods fires, extreme heat. what does this got to do with climate change? well, a very different, as you know, but they do have one common root cause that is climate change. climate change is increasing the energy content of the atmosphere by tapping more heat. that means that the conditions are getting hotter, but it also means that other extremes, both ends drought and he'll be rain are also becoming more extreme. so this means that when you have drought, most of your drop couple with high temperatures, it makes forest really much for prone to burn, which is why we're seeing such dramatic and large fires now in western north america. at the same time, because the atmosphere is holding more water vapor, it increases the odds that will see extreme rainfalls, which are happening. of course in western india have also played china and europe
6:19 am
just in the last week or so. so yes, there's a very, very good and strong body of scientific evidence to say that extreme weather events across the board are becoming more extreme because the climate change. so what's the long term trend and what's, i mean, are we going to see more of this? and is it too late to do anything about that? it certainly will. they will become more common. the 16 events spend more severe in the next decade or 2. that's because it's going to take us at least that long to get our emissions trending down towards 0. so certainly up till 20302035 more greenhouse gases will accumulate in the atmosphere, which means more heat will be trapped and more severe weather will occur. and will become more, more extreme. this means that we must prepare for this. we must learn to adapt to it and anticipating something we're going to have to live with at least for the next couple of decades. well, that seems to be quite an optimistic assessment, given the fact that what i've been reading,
6:20 am
what people have been speaking to us all i had at al jazeera, the actually went past the point of no return. so you think there is still a chance? yeah, look, i think so. it's really right, but we're reaching a balance point here. my view is, is that we're going to bridge $1.00. what was lower paris target? but we still, i think can limit the temperature rise to below 2 degrees. and we actually must do that, but there is no doubt that we will, if we want to have a chance of doing that, we actually must get our emissions trending downward strongly. this decade in my view, globally, we need to, i cut them in half by 2030 and hit 0 emissions a decade or so. that isn't cheap book. it's a huge challenge and we've got to get moving on it very fast. for those who are more pessimistic than i am, they may be proof proven to be right. i think the next 5 or 10 years will tell us what, which direction we're heading. we'll stuff on the end camera. thank you very much.
6:21 am
thank you. my pleasure. leverage facing it's worth crisis in modern history, unemployment on the currency crash of decimated living standards. and now on top of severe medicine shortages, hospitals are running out of fuel. the economic collapse has led to power cuts that can last up to 20 hours a day. and that's putting lives at risk. then the reports from buried. these generators are a lifeline for hospitals in a country where state electricity cuts last most of the day, but they're running low on diesel fuel. lebanon is an economic and political turmoil, and the state is nearly bankrupt. doctors warned the health sector is close to collapse with all the what's going on with the shortages, whether in human resources, whether in medications, whether in supplies, and on top of that now fuel electricity and more of a case is coming in. i'm believable that the hospitals are still able to it's not

just hospitals bakeries to say if they don't receive diesel fuel in a few days, they will have to close the state electricity company has all but stopped providing power. already the sector was crumbling from years of neglect, but in recent weeks rationing has been severe. we rely on candles. there is no electricity and i can't afford to pay private generator owners. many no longer can afford basic food since the local currency crashed. prices have increased by 50 percent this month alone. the price is very controlled by many factors, including the exchange rates or the dollar depending on the black market prices for fuel and for diesel. you know, we have market, we have to have electricity, 247. the black market has taken advantage of states subsidies on basic goods including medicine, many of which has been missing for months. many blame this for the crisis board 11

6:29 am
a quality problem we're industrialized in the coastline of the great barrier reef which adds to water quality problems. so is the threats there, we've lost considerable sections of the great barrier reef. and if we don't take very dramatic action on climate change, we will get more and more bleaching events. and the race will not have time to recover. the federal government has an calling record on climate change. not only do we have aspiration to 0 emissions now, actual target we government also aggressively chases new fossil fuel development, which i think in the current climate is absolutely unforgivable. so they are seeking new call. mine's new gas developments and even using funding for renewables to try and fuel. so whilst
6:30 am
the strike is a fairly small country population was. so our missions huge is a global plan. if we consider the emissions of the big coal mine that have proposed and the gas developed, and then we can become a much more important player globally. so our government really needs to step up and take con, change seriously. ah, there's out there and these other top stories, heavy monsoon rains have triggered floods and land slides in western india, killing at least 100 people. the state of my heart is the worst hit and at least 30 people are missing. didn't garcia have? i had 3 vehicles, all of them got some most in flood water. they are old damaged. the furniture inside my house and outside also got damage. i have suffered a loss of around 10000.
