12:06 am
with regards the floods in spain, which i've just been so devastating in the southern and eastern regions. i mean, more than 205 tasks many left and accounted for your for truly briggs, for the local population. what we know is that 1st of all, the mediterranean sea actually recording its highest temperatures to its own recorded history in august. so that region has been unfortunately prone to lots of trials as heat waves. and as heat evaporates water, the more air thoughts were moisture and so that in turn can lead to reach to parental the onboard. yeah, certainly devastating to see those images. do you expect greater action at this year's you when climate change conference considering at the sheer number of extreme events that we've been c yeah, you know, unfortunately this year has just shot or climate record after climate record. i mean, i'm coming at you from the united states where we just had serially disrupting hurricanes
