is going on. there's no physical reason why they shouldn't be why for years also at this high latitudes i mean there are a lot of forwards the hassle of material that could be burnt potentially and then the free have an extraordinary reverse situation such as during the last space and at the moment and this can likely happen but it seems you know seen from this vantage point that everything is going from bad to worse it seems like mother nature is throwing drought tarantula rains freezing temperatures in some parts of the planet are we witnessing climate change at work here or is something else taking place it's always a bit difficult to actually produce single event to climate change but what we can say is that the climate change increases the likelihood of specific events taken off heat waves for example of heavy precipitation events there it's quite clear on the from a physical standpoint the climate change is easy and the probability just probabilities

that people have severe in place of increasing the temperatures choose to be used for tryouts which are the most important reason for such a right it's a bit less clear there are some indications and observations that also trouts are increasing but this is a bit uncertain i'm going to pose the chicken or the egg question to you now is this manmade or is this nature at work it's always a combination i'm trying to change and global warming is almost in the mend mate at least some decrease because we emit greenhouse gases we contribute to the warming of the earth and this also contributes of course then to an increase of the temperature during he. graves but for such an extreme event to occur it always needs of the lord correct weather conditions suitable weather conditions and this is also natural variability and of course the i'm also

a million dollar question is there anything that we humans can still do or is it too late oh it's not too late you know we can also what we do during the next years and decades is very important we can still try to cut our emissions over greenhouse goes on missions this is the most important thing that we could do of course we can also try to find some more technological solutions like capturing the c o two with that is already in the atmosphere but the most important things that we can do is reduce the emissions to climate experts if one fall is with the free university here and berlin thank you sir for weighing in. all right want to bring up to speed now as some of the other stories making news around the world. the european union has temporarily suspended its naval operation in the mediterranean sea that says italy were fuses to accept migrants rescued by its vessels operation sofia was launched back in two thousand and fifteen to tackle migrant smugglers but it has
