>> reporter: the shooting comes more than six years after the attack at orlando, which kille people, the nation's second deadliest mass shooting. >> such a traumatic event, especially for those who did survive. janet, give us a sense of what this club means to that community in colorado springs. >> reporter: so jericka, as much as it is a club, people i spoke to today said it's also something of a community center. in fact, they had just advertised for today a brunch in recognition of transgender remembrance day. that's a day that honors those who have died as a result of anti-transgender violence. so it really was a gathering place and is a gathering place for the community. jericka? >> janet shamlian in colorado. thank you. well, there's relief tonight for western new yorkers. it has finally stopped snowing there. at least for now. the digout is now under way. hundreds of pieces of heavy equipment have been moved in to clear streets after three days of snowfall. in fact, the town of orchard

park, the home of the buffalo bills, was hit the hardest with a record 77 inches. so much snow that the team was forced to play its game today in detroit. well, let's bring in meteorologist molly mccullum with an update. she's with our partners at the weather channel. molly, good evening. >> good evening, jericka. tomorrow kicks off what will be one of the busiest travel weeks of the year, and the big question is always will the weather cooperate? on monday most of us are still stuck in a big chill from the northeast to the mid-atlantic, the southeast and even down to texas, where it feels more like january than it does in november. but warmth starts to take over as we get into tuesday and it's not just the warmer air moving back in but it's also going to be dry and that is great for thanksgiving travel. this is tuesday. most of us have great travel conditions as we get to tuesday. wednesday we're looking pretty good as well. thursday slightly different story as some rain in our next southeast and parts of texas as well as oklahoma and arkansas

that could slow you down as you try to get to your turkey dinner. jericka? >> all right. people always paying attention to that forecast around this time. thank you. the weather hampered travel on what's traditionally one of the busiest weekends of the year. the tsa screened more than 2 million passengers saturday alone. this is flight aware's miseries map. right now the worst delays are flights from new york to los angeles. cbs's danya bacchus is at l.a.x. with more. good evening. >> reporter: good evening, jericka. flight delays are piling up here at the second busiest airport in the country. as the crowds keep growing, so does the stress of traveling this holiday season. jam-packed airports, maxed-out parking lots and pricey tickets. that's what travelers face when flying for thanksgiving this year. nearly 55 million people are expected to be on the move with the holiday rush already on. >> what was your experience like in seattle at that airport? >> seattle was totally busy. there were people everywhere. huge lines for security, for

baggage claim. a lot of tempers started to flare. >> reporter: airlines are trying to prevent the cancellation chaos of last thanksgiving by adding more pilots and adjusting schedules. but the crowds aren't the only thing frustrating some flyers. the price of an airline ticket has jumped 43% from a year ago. >> i used all my points and it was around $670. without my points it would have been well over $1,000. >> reporter: despite higher airfares, demand remained strong with air travel up about 8% from 2021. for many families flying takes plenty of planning and patience. >> with three kids it's hard, but we made it. forgot the cell phone in the car. we tried to plan for it. but it didn't work out. >> reporter: the majority of americans are skipping the skies by taking road trips, but filling up still costs about 36 cents a gallon more than a year ago. now, aaa says the busiest time on the roads is expected next wednesday as millions try to make it in time for that

thanksgiving meal. and jericka, for flyers the busiest day is expected next sunday. >> absolutely. danya bacchus for us in l.a.x. thank you. today the u.s. coast guard said a homemade boat carrying cuban immigrants capsized in rough seas off florida's coast. nine people were rescued. at least five others are feared dead. to the war in ukraine now. there's new video today of explosions near the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. russia and ukraine are blaming each other for the shelling at what is europe's largest nuclear power plant. lesley stahl will have much more on this story coming up on "60 minutes." the captain of iran's world cup soccer team is speaking out about tensions in his country. violent anti-government protests in iran met with a fierce crack down in recent months. today in qatar ehsani hajsafi said players "support those who have died." the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm jericka duncan in new york. thanks so much for staying with us. the u.n. climate change summit wrapped up in egypt without any agreement to phase out fossil fuels. that goal was blocked by oil and gas-producing nations like saudi arabia. the 200 countries present did, though, agree to set up a fund to help developing nations that have been devastated by drought floods v, floods and rising seas. here in the u.s. a lot of farmers are adapting to warmer temperatures by either moving north or planting different crops. ben tracy has that story from georgia. >> reporter: the most unusual

thing about joe franklin's 78-acre citrus farm is that it really shouldn't be here. >> when i first started with it, people couldn't believe me. when i told them it was growing right here in georgia, they didn't believe me. you can't grow that here. >> reporter: but franklin now has 12,000 trees growing fruit in the middle of georgia. >> grapefruit, meyer lemons, gold nuggets, satsumas, georgia kisses, bingos. >> reporter: you'd normally expect to find hundreds of miles south in florida. >> so i'm not going to find a georgia peach anywhere on this land? >> afraid not. one of the main things that drove my decision to plant them was the fact that it is so much warmer now than it was 30 years ago, 40 years ago. i know when i was growing up golly, in october you always had a couple of frosts and november you usually had a freeze. that doesn't happen anymore. >> reporter: did you think of that as climate change or did you just say something's different here?

>> no, i thought of it as climate change. it's happening. i mean, there's no doubt about it. >> a month of rainless days and temperature above 100. >> reporter: farmers have always dealt with the whims of mother nature. but now climate change is changing what they can grow and where they can grow it. >> like everyone knows of course there's global warming but then what does it mean -- >> reporter: himanju gupta is the ceo of san francisco-based startup climate a.i. their platform uses machine learning to identify climate risks for food companies and farmers. the stakes are high. worldwide it's estimated crop yields could decline up to 30% by the year 2050. as the planet warms and climate change fuels more severe drought and flooding. >> a lot of crops, not just in the u.s. but also in africa, india are already seeing the impacts of climate change. if we move into the future,

these areas will have a significant shift. >> reporter: gupta showed us how the cranberries on our thanksgiving tables will likely have to be grown significantly further north in the coming decades. >> it's going to be riskier in a lot of places to grow certain crops in the future, but this is helping mitigate some of that risk. >> absolutely. and using that you can tailor your recommendations for the food companies or seed companes or for farmers. >> reporter: dramatic shifts are already happening. there's now coffee from california and fine wines from england. but while warmer temperatures may benefit some crops, they can devastate others. in georgia the state's famed peach trees require significant winter chill in order to bloom come spring. >> so this is one of your weather stations? >> yeah. there's 89 stations across the state. >> reporter: pam knox is an agricultural climatologist at the university of georgia. she says winters here have warmed on average more than

3 1/2 degrees since the 1800s. enough to put many varieties of peaches at risk. researchers are racing to develop new warmer weather varieties to take their place. >> as warming continues should we expect crops to kind of migrate north in some fashion, things that needed to be further south in the past? >> there will be some migration. there's some limitations to that. the kind of soil you have. whether you have access to irrigation. what you've grown traditionally. because if you're a peach producer you're probably not going to suddenly switch to cattle. >> reporter: joe franklin's bet is paying off. but he knows a changing climate likely means more losers than winners. >> for this to be working here means it's probably not working so well for somebody further south. >> right. exactly. do you think about those folks? >> i do. and i feel for them. and it's a gamble. it's the risk you take. you know? it's one of them things. >> that again was ben tracy

reporting. now, other farmers are moving even further north to alaska, and not everyone there is happy about that. jonathan vigliotti reports. >> reporter: alaska's northern lights are the color of opportunity, and in the state's pristine interior there's a new road for people to bet on. >> so we're traveling right now with the division of agriculture through what is alaska's borial forest. and if all goes according to their plan, this will be turned into farmland. >> reporter: the boreal forest is one of the largest trappers of carbon dioxide on earth. but as alaska warms twice as fast as the rest of the country, once frozen land is now thawed out and up for grabs. >> i see climate change in alaska as an opportunity to bring in more crops, to develop more land. >> reporter: eric johnson oversees the nanana agriculture project, which in october began auctioning off 140,000 acres of the forest divided into parcels to the highest bidders from all over the world. >> couldn't there be anywhere else that you could look to

develop land for farming and not here? >> this is the most suitable land for agriculture development. this is only 140,000 acres. >> reporter: but statewide the rush for land is on. the number of farms here have grown 44%, making alaska the state with the most amount of new farms in the country. native tribes who live off the land in the boreal forest worry the project will be abused and cause pollution. >> what did this land mean to you? >> this is our grcery store. this is how we grew up learning how to live off of this land. >> reporter: the state says bidders are required to submit development plans but acknowledges they're not strict. >> we want real farmers. we want to provide opportunities. we can't tell them exactly how to use that opportunity. i see the lower 48 as getting hotter and dryer. and we've got a lot of water and we've got a lot of clean land.

>> reporter: it's a new gamble for alaska. >> is the last frontier the new frontier for farming in america? >> i bellelieve it is. >> reporter: a risk not everyone is willing to take. >> agriculture is probably something we need to get into, but what does it look like? it doesn't look like this. >> reporter: i'm jonathan vigliotti in alaska's boreal forest. >> we'll have more on the boreal forest and what's being done to save it in just two minutes. stay with us. you're watching "cbs overnight news."

>> that's pretty extreme. >> it is extreme. so this is the upper end of what we're trying to simulate. >> reporter: so at this level of warming clearly this doesn't react very well. >> no. we're not doing very well here. >> reporter: these hexagon-shaped chambers here at the experimental forest are open to the sky. each one is more than 30 feet tall, 40 feet wide, and there are ten of them here on this massive seven-acre site. each one providing a different glimpse into the future. >> and it's not just any forest they're studying. it's what's known as the boreal forest, the world's largest forest system. it wraps around the upper third of the earth from north america through scandinavia and much of russia like some sort of planetary headband. >> the hair, or the bald spot exposed on the top, and then you have this band that extends around the forehead, or the more curved places on the globe. >> reporter: steven sebastian is a researcher with the national forest service.

he says the boreal includes several species of trees and crucial mossy peatlin that play an outsized role in regulating the earth's temperature by sequestering planet-warming carbon dioxide. >> the peatlins are only 3% of the land surface of the planet but they hold up to a third to a half of the global soil carbon poll. >> reporter: unfortunately, what they're discovering here inside these chambers is that the hotter the planet gets the boreal forest ecosystem dries out. the critical peat moss is eaten up by bacteria and replaced by shrubs. that carbon once captured in the ground is released into the atmosphere. accelerating the devastating impacts of climate change. >> every single year has led to loss of carbon from these ecosystems. that's the crisis that we face. taking carbon from a solid form and a stable form stored in these peatlines to being a gas in the atmosphere that's a

greenhouse gas. >> reporter: and the real world impacts are already painfully clear. these dryer northern forests are now more prone to wildfires. record-breaking blazes tore through the boreal forests of sb siberia in the past two years, charring millions of acres and spewing record amounts of carbon dioxide into the sky. scientists say we need to quickly reduce our planet-warming emissions before these forest systems reach a tipping point, switching from accumulating carbon to emitting it. potentially even rapidly in a so-called carbon bomb. >> in some ways this place is kind of a giant warning to humans about the future. >> maybe it gives us a reason to act. right? i'm a bit of an optimist. but why roll the dice? let's solve the problem now. >> reporter: because the dire future foretold here in this forest is one we can still change. i'm ben tracy in northern minnesota.
