it's now registering 25 grams per liter. that means that sea water, so water level here should be one gram per liter to be able to distribute to farmers, and the effect of so much salt water incursion, burnt crops, worthless and withering in the field. many fields poisoned by salt water may not even produce crops next year. it's not just a problem for agriculture muscle farmer paula manchin says he'll lose 30 percent of his harvest from this lagoon on the po delta this year. busy the closest all of them, all these muscles are all dead. fresh water from the po hasn't made it here. so they just die. seems like this are increasingly common along the po. whole area is usually covered by water. now exposed, turned in the beaches or islands of sand in the middle where the river usually flows. and those who provide water to farmers in the po valley say they're not just worried about this summer's crops. but about years to come a once in a lifetime,

drought shows how life could change here forever. so the way the mechanic with if we lose this resource we have had for centuries, we'll have to abandon our excellent crops. we'd give up our whole cultural heritage, a frightening prospect as people here and millions of others around the world struggle to adapt to changing climate. adarine al jazeera in the po, valley of northern italy and in china, electricians are working to maintain power grades that are on the strain due to the scorching temperatures. they're nearly 80 cities. it should read alerts this week with temperatures, forecast or exceed 40 degrees celsius. for mark, how does the climate change expert at the australian national university? he says, we have to adapt the climate change we're experiencing now. and in the coming decade there is a particular thing that's happening and that's particularly related to changes in the jet stream. that's a high level, very fast moving band if it circulates the globe. and at the moment that's been

changed by climate change. and that's bringing in this particular case, very hot from side india across towards china. at this point, our emissions globally going up. they're not turning in round the corner and studying to go down any way to limit the effects of climate change like the heat was we're seeing or the files that were saying we have to reduce those emissions very rapidly and very significantly going down something like 45 percent by 2030 and we had a long way from that at the moment. but given that we haven't been able to turn around those greenhouse gas emission trajectories, that means we have to adapt to the climate change is experiencing now and will experience over the next decade. so everything from putting more green spaces in cities to cool the cities down to i having more heat reflective building materials and road materials so that they don't absorb the energy but reflect it back out into the atmosphere. no local bi election in pakistan's punjab province could end
