the, the if you were in the united states, spain, italy, greece recently, where a heat waves made going outside hazardous to your health. today's news will confirm what you probably suspected. the month of july 2023 was the hottest on record, the average temperature on the entire planet higher, but it has ever been, in fact, there were several days when the daily average temperature broke. that key $1.00 degree celsius, a ceiling sign to say, july was not a one off, but rather one of many more to come. the alarms are already sounding tonight. what are we doing to turn them and the temperatures down and bring gulf in berlin. this is the day, the

incredible i've never experienced such high temperatures. it's really all the plumbing tools on even just walking outside. you feel your skin the t to global warming as in the, is the heat, a global boiling. as of right now, it's like being inside the sooner i'm finding it difficult to breathe. i've been in this business for 40 years and an old time. it has never been this hot. how's that coming up? a leader is from a south american countries are meeting to save the amazon rain forest before there is nothing left to say, no complete village, it is never be more urgency to resume and expand this cooperation. do that for you, that most of the challenges of our era and the opportunities that arise to me on

joint action or to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with the official confirmation last month, july was the hardest on record. not only was it the fund this month on record, it was the hardest by a wide margin. europe's climate monitor, the copernicus, climate change service report to today, the average global temperature in july was 16.95 degrees celsius. now that's an increase of 0.33 degrees compared to the last record high that was set 4 years ago . a jump of one 3rd of one degree may sound small, but scientists say it is more than enough to make our weather more in stream. more often, the heat weights help push the average global temperature above the key. 1.5 degrees limits several days in july, so how to reduce the number of spikes before it's too late?

we spoke to samantha burgess earlier, she's deputy director of the copernicus, climate change service and we talked to her about the increase in temperatures and the knock on effects on weather and the oceans. yes, it is. say the record and temperatures and the record ocean temperature is directly linked to the concentration of greenhouse gases in a very huge number of factors that impacts global warming of either the at the land surface or the the ocean surface surround dates and speaks to the ocean . surface relative than the whole ocean. and there's a big difference between what happens on the surface, the ocean, because it directly absorbs solar radiation for heat energy from the sun versus the d patient um, in terms of the different ways that the ocean kimball mount. so one can and the

that it warms up because the atmosphere above it is wilma. so there's direct exchange that one the ease 3 current coming from underneath one the another method is 3 additional solar radiation. so when we have the weather patterns, the big looking highs, it's nice and still as cloud frisco ponies. you get a lot more solar radiation. the ocean is a dock stuff is to absorb more of the solar radiation. amazing. just some of the mechanisms that have led to the record in label ocean surface temperatures. and when the ocean is boma, particularly the surface ocean is less efficient at absorbing heats and absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. so we know you that already the ocean that has absorbed about 90 percent of the excess heat from human energies climate change. and as the surface ation williams is going to be less effective,

absorbing additional heat unless effective at absorbing carbon dioxide now the greenhouse gases. so this means until we turn off the top of the emissions entering the atlas fia, the climate change will continue to increase, which means we'll get increases in global temperatures and globalization temperatures. and this is why scientists are encouraging ambitious action to get to that theory as quickly as possible. because we know from the scientific evidence that with a woman, well, we're more likely to have more range and more frequent extreme events. so that was samantha burgess. they were speaking with us earlier, the us state of texas has become a poster child for clean energy projects. it's already the biggest producer of wind power in the us. and it's well on its way to claiming that title for solar energy to but this kind of green has some texans seeing rit,

everything's bigger in texas. they say no doubt when it comes to renewable clean energy. this springs to no other place in the u. s. has more wind and solar energy plans and projects in the so called lone star state. so far so good bucks is about what makes texas interesting is 95 percent of the land in texas is privately owned . 83 percent of that land is work in the past. those large blue areas landscapes, those huge privately owned farms and kettle ranches for which texas is also famous for gave way for more and more equally massive wind turbine and solar panels. projects all over the state, but that's no more. this is michael tickets were meeting the grandson of american business magnate, people picking some dice, texas just east of south. michael is active in a group of land owners who post a renewable energy project in the account. he's taking us on a little tour to show us that a massive solar farm here is a bad id,

mostly whitland and then sleep force that area, the impact on the environment of the bio and the cost system here is devastating. yeah, it's a business, it's capitalism. and it's maximizing profit, but you know, for us that live over here, you know, what 4th, 5th generation texan, use my home. michael says he and his friends that many of his neighbors will continue to push against what they deem is the wrong place for a solar panel form very well. our san angelo in west texas around here, the sun is almost always shining. the town has space a lot of space, large solar and wind energy projects makes sense here. solar present, some really, really important advantages. not only in terms of energy production, but in terms of the economy in its growth. 3 big solar projects brought an investment of $800000000.00 into the account, which brings us back to like pickens,

you know, take it somewhere in san angelo. there's a whole bunch of flat, treeless homeless land up all over the panhandle. you can put a lot of solar despite the bleak reality of ongoing and increase of the fights and legal battles between preservationist landowners and the renewable energy industry . many here on the central movements and regulations preparation and solutions for the future. the tensions between china and the united states are now drawing in the philippines. the chinese embassy in manila is accused washington of stirring up trouble in the dispute itself, trying to see that is where the 2nd thomas show is located. that's in a toll which china and the philippines both claim the u. s. is now publicly backing manila. and this dispute on tuesday trying to demand the philippines, remove a vessel which has been grounded on the reef and used as a military outpost since 1999 last week. the chinese coast guard,

as you can see right there, used water key and then to prevent a filipino ship from re supplying a small garrison which the philippines maintained on board. that vessel. alright, i want to bring in military analysts. bradley bowman, now he's with the foundation for defense of democracies. brands can see we can good to have you back on the program. taiwan is usually why you, when i talk about the us in china to night, it's the philippines. what do you think china is up to here? you know, uh, great to be on again. uh, you know, years ago of aging, drew this, uh, what i would call arbitrary 9 dash line, which is widely viewed as having no foundation in international law around the south trying to see basically saying, hey, everything inside this belongs to us. and disregarding the legitimate claims and many cases of other countries, such as vietnam and the philippines after certain in that line, what is china done?

they, they found this little outcroppings they built these islands. they armed them to the teeth and basically said the us and others stay out if we don't want you hear it, what's the goal? i think the goal is to seize resources in territory, project chinese military power and the parts united states and others out. and obviously other countries, including the philippines, don't appreciate the so a few years back, the philippines took one of their world war 2 vessels and grounded in the 2nd time a shoal, which by the way, is inside the philippines. exclusive economic zone. and china has no legitimate claim to and has been re supplying a small number marines there for years. and periodically, when the philippines tries to resupply them, china comes in with its maritime militia. these fishing boats acting like fishing boats, even though they're not, or their coast guard and, and they harass the filipinos inside their own exclusive economic zone. the tricky thing here is i, i'm being cute, is that the philippines is

a treaty ally of the united states. and so if this comes to blows, we can quickly have this escalated into a conflict and then us in china. yeah. and that is what john is saying, china is accusing the us of gathering allies. now i'm getting together allies before you go to ward. don't you as yeah, you know, that's an interesting term gathering allies. well, you know, these last united states and the philippines have been allies since 1951. so we've kind of been at this a while. i would say, here's americans. and you know, the interesting thing is people want to be or allies. so we don't need to do a lot of gathering, they come to us because they know we don't really want to conquer their territory and stay around and they don't have the same met. same little confidence with aging the human state department, but put out a statement just 2 days ago saying that any attack on philippine public vessels, aircraft armed forces, including those of its coast guard in the south china sea, would invoke us mutual defense commitments, which you were mentioning so,

what is the philippine refuse to remove that ship? serving as a base on the a toll as china is demanding. i think the philippines have every right to send their vassals both commercial and military anywhere they want in their exclusive economic zone. and trying that has no basis to claim that they need to remove it. so, you know, it's, you know, so what gives them that, right to say that and what gives them that right to, to take, take this aggressive and frankly dangerous action towards the filipinos, i would really turn the question, respectfully back, evasion. what the danger level though, of, of something like this, escalating and out of control, what danger level would, would you give it braille? i mean, i know is it, does it maybe seem like it's, it's very likely, but we know that that part of the world is if it's a place where accidents can easily happen, as absolutely we've seen instances in history where small things become big one,

there's a lack of communication or misunderstanding and that's why the us has really been trying to have more reliable communications between the 2 military's and beijing is pushed back on that. so i'd say we need to get better or more reliable communication and beijing needs that kind of stuff. these extra legal claims, but the most dangerous thing here is i think, being solved in the face of a might, may rate might, makes right policy, i'd say weakness. and in the face of this is really the most a stabilizing thing. the west is experiencing its defense alliances with the philippines and with japan. where does the us see the threat in the medium term? you know, the, the wording, the bi ministrations used as, as make clear that really, beijing, china is the leading or the pacing challenge. they like to work challenge, i prefer the word adversary and they, they've talked about russia being the acute threats. but bottom line is we see these 2 countries closer than they've been since the 1950s received them.

conducting military exercises, doing a pretty aggressive sales around japan, glen base, exercises, insight inside china. integrating forces up to the brigade level sharing best practices one another. and then we saw this joint to combine patrol just off the coast of alaska. recently the largest we've seen today. yeah, i mean i've, i've heard people describe it as unprecedented and outrageous that they would even do this. a, you know, they were an international waters. i might not use the word outrages. so, you know, i would say, and they're sending a message despite what they're saying, they're clearly sending the message there. they're saying, hey, we can work together, you know, obviously being dreams of having the allies, united states house, but russian, china are close. we think china echoing the talking points of putting, with respect to the unprovoked invasion of ukraine, and we see their realtors working more closely together, which is a concern for the united states. because we've never, we have never had the capacity necessary to deal with 2 major complex at the same

time. and for conducting strategic coordination. we can see a problem, for example, if the baltics and also on the taiwan strait in the same time. and that would be a problem. and before i let you go, i do have to ask you about, i want you to, you are a big advocate of the us and turning to i want into a porcupine so that it doesn't get attacked or invaded by china. what's the status on that porcupine? to not you know, the part coupons, quills are not enough and they're not sharp enough for move. the bi ministration i would say is moving the right direction, doing almost everything i would want them to do, but to gosh darn slow. they got to speed up or we're gonna have a problem, right? brand new billing with the foundation for the defense of democracies is always brands good talking really. we appreciate your insights. thank you. thank you. leaders from 8 nations linked to the amazon base in our meeting in brazil to try to secure the reinforce future. hundreds of people from indigenous communities,

march outside the event, to draw attention to various threats facing the region of this is the 1st summit in 14 years and it comes with the time and scientists of warning. the destruction of the rain forests is approaching a tipping point. preserves president. the reason i feels luminous silver has called the meeting a landmark initiative to say the amazon. i told you as we had not met for 14 years after we made a vase. it is the 1st time we made by here in paris day and to be rid of him on the 1st time in a context of a severe worsening of the climate crisis. no cope with those, it is never be more urgency to resume and expand this cooperation. you that feels that most of the challenges of our era and the opportunities that arise demand of joint action. hi. buena holding al, my colleague nicole rissa. she is our columbia correspondence. she is currently in the village of billing. nicole is going to see you. i understand that indigenous

people are protesting and talk to me about how they feel about this. some is indeed the indigenous people have been protesting here, but quite a peacefully is there a moment because these are the people who feel the consequences of the destruction of the amazon rain forest directly. it's not only areas that have temperatures rising to degrees above to normal. it's also that trees a goal, and that water is poisoned by mining activities. so they want to make sure that their voice is not being heard, not only through protests, but also by attending the social dialogues that have been taking place here in the city of the lam uh before the summit started. and that was actually hundreds of thousands of people who joined from different countries to make clear that they need to structure to the stuff the extradition of, of, of fossil fuel to cetera in the forest needs to stop. now,

not tomorrow. so yesterday, now just a moment, and is it, are those very steps or decisions? are they being negotiated right now? and, you know, basically to stop exploiting the lungs of this plan. the general plan here is to come to a consensus. that's all the countries that share the amazon congress can agree on a 0 deforestation policy, for example, that sees a stop into the forcing the areas that uh, so of so much value to the whole international society as well because of climate crisis. that's one point. there's also an intention to seek to support more by economies that i'm all sustainable and shifting away a bit from the extraction industry. but this will also be one of the main points that will cause some of some rep to your i think because of these are very important industries, economic is speaking and to just focus on something else will be major step. but also a major challenge. of course,

and then socially it needs to be just as people who live in the amazon of rain forest. and today we got confirmation that july was the hottest month on record on our planet. is that playing a role in these talks? i mean, is that helping people to bridge their differences there are, of course, the political differences here between the countries. one of them, for example, is the topic of x at the instructional federal. the same president who knows opting for a change in energy policies hasn't shared, has a very public opinion about what will happen to the section of petrol. he's been very ambiguous about it. and this could be kind of, you know, an issue between the different countries because it's a huge industry, the countries, one to earn money multinational companies wanted and money. but it's actually not the step for what if you think about the ecosystem that we need to save here, and it's coming to a tipping point. so if we reset the tipping point,

the for us will not only be great that will be no bouncing back for the for us and hands won't be for the people connected to it. yeah, that is a very good point to i understand that you did a report, a balance and co code for me in the area. talk to us about that sandita we went to see a small cocoa production you close to the city of them on one of the islands that surround the city. and this could be an example of how buy a economy looks like something that the v to see a one to support more in the future. and this would guarantee partly to have a sustainable production. and on the other hand, also help people of course, to have an income price in yellow this is how the cocoa puffs should look when it's ready for is that she cost to harvest bible. mm hm. okay, so what's the vote?

well, the take it is to do a bit of so do the ones that are meant to the city to they'll go a little bit. it's so full of guy, you prefer the finance or so he said she costa has been growing co co for 40 years . it's a self made family business fail. she invested around resources in farming sustainably . on her 7 hector's here on the island of come booth. she follows the rules of outgrow forestry, combining agriculture with a natural environment without shopping trees, or chemical fertilizers and in sync with nature. political leaders and the amazon wants to boost sustainable bio economies to protect the forest. funding for through loss is involved as much as news. we need to need us to really sign mcgregor and reform for the, for me to call her for my guy upfront so that the small produces, have access to micro credit. it could interest incentives, all kinds of problems such as help with machinery into the cool months and not just

man, no, probably not to become a big industry before the small, traditional industry most is a nice small industries like cost those process everything themselves from the cocoa bean to a proper regional array of chocolate that she's proud of. and an investment could also give nature summers spied from us exploitation and to help regenerate degraded areas. 20 percent off of brazil's amazon rainforest have been affected by destruction, mainly due to agricultural activities and projects like this year close to the land coach show the way to more sustainable agriculture. but at the same time also provide income for local communities. but us ever keeping the balance is paramount . semantics of products from the regions such as cocoa is on the rise and 1000 increases the risk of creating a monoculture,

the further damages the forest biologist, but treat c a p. o says the concept of bio economies needs to strongly focus on local communities in order to work. these communities are also victims of the destruction of the amazon. they wanna like have one to have told me to the decisions that concerns their, their therapy toward the, one of their future generations, their key to, to be able to see the same products or practice that they already have. so i think that that's something that we should be really keeping in mind that one of their livelihoods to be maintained. so quality is more important than quantity to preserve what we will benefit from that so. so the way to go for is edgy costa, a coco farmer who as long understood, but the future of a healthy rain forest will determine the future of human kind parts and supports. now, former world number one, tennis player,
