8:21 am
a climate change expert as he joins us now for the past in australia. thank you for your time. so this is the, was a pro heat wave in ages history, isn't it, is this little down to climate change as well? it's certainly a major fact. uh if it's not climate change, it's very hard to understand. the climate change is enabling these massive extreme events to occur because there's so much more energy in the atmosphere due to fossil fuel banning. and that energies gotta go some way. so it can level of polar vortex. and mike, you shift the whole structure of the atmosphere, pushing density a across the tropics for in new wise that's not been experienced. this sort of early hates hates at a time if. yeah, way you wouldn't expect this sort of extreme heat is it's more dangerous, isn't it? yes, it's real dangerous. so people are adapted to is we do not leave normally in that
8:22 am
way. the in can tough. you do, and you are adapted to it and the buildings are built for then your own all got a condition into a skype into. but huge pots of eyes. you're not ready for that. so the body goes into shock. if you get a southern extremes like this and a lot of people can die, there is also the possibility of the el nino effect this. yeah. how, how is that gonna affect whether in some areas? yeah, so lena is back. we've had the la nina in the, in the asian region, and right through a strider with extremes of a ryan full. and that's is now shifting to extremes of heat uh as it switches. but those switches now occurring more frequently. so to get more it streams from one side to the other. and that's,
8:23 am
that's also causing this, but it's behind to do is the climate change effect to so do we just accept that this is the fee? should that the source of extreme weather is going to be more frequent, and if that is the case, can we predict at least one areas will get more heat? what areas will get flooding? because it's that unexpected nature that makes the situation harder to deal with. yes, it is very hard to predict because way that full costing is done on historical records and the history is changing. we are changing history. that's the message we have to get across that in this era, in our era, we are saying unprecedented to fix the cannot be predicted. so it's gonna cost a lot of money to make these changes. we've got to do it quickly. otherwise,
8:24 am
so many more people will die. so many other impacts like roads melting, riles buckling, trees, dying cups, filing the sort of things over here to happen. and we went quite know how to adapt that we're going to have to and we're going to have to do it quickly. but more often we must be, i want to reduce our fossil fuel use more quickly. this is the big issue. okay, facing human climate change expect speaking to a staff and path in australia. thank you. thank you. the nasa has successfully launched the fast of t sika in monitoring satellites, which will prove crucial and tracking potentially harmful weather systems ahead of this some a storm season. in the united states 3 to the walk, it took off from a north star law here. and in so that it's the fast of 3 satellite launches
