we have seen in many other nor is there in european countries as well that it's not just a case of you know fires been started by people there are extreme weather conditions there are droughts there are shortages of water there are fires that i mean it's pretty extreme what we're seeing is this the beginning of the future is this what climate change is looking like are we here where we are looking of cause that models that try to estimate how climate change is going to proceed under different scenarios of. of when i was guess emissions and what we indeed find that there is a tendency towards warming that's it has a particular focus in the northern part so so scandinavia is also one of the hot points there. and in addition to that there is a tendency to have

a change in the way for conditions so what we have investigated ourselves in our institute is what the model say about the heavy rainfall and they in scandinavia indeed. projected to increase quite drastically is there anything that we can do to prevent these drastic changes well of cause there is all these programs to to reduce to mitigate climate change but i think that will be not be enough so measures taken to adapt and to properly certainly something that we need to do are they made to then i mean you see often politicians over in the us who are very very adamant that this climate change is not modern aids and it is absolutely i mean dare they don't deny that what you think well what we

see is a slow progress in the mean toward small extreme conditions but there is not just this slow increase going along with greenhouse gases but there is also the decadal changes the climate is not constant but it is valuable and. we are trying to assess that and trying to make predictions and so it could appears likely that the warming for example that we see in the long term is already starting on a short term could mean that in the next few decades it might go down again vote like a thank you very much for joining us here in studio and breaking it down for us. that's a republican a dominican republic now and another global environmental issue plastic in the ocean most of it is don't and rivers and then washes ag to see tackling the problem has been talked about a lot over the past year but without it globally agreed intervention in meant of
