people around the world but in the middle of summer, the monsoon kicks in and it creates windshear wouldst tends to pull the cyclones apart. so the sea temperatures have been running quite a bit above normal in the indian ocean and also in the bay of bengal. that hopes to support the storms. 2018, the oceans as a whole were the warmest on record. it is a symptom of climate change and with climate change, we expect more intense hurricanes, figure hurricanes or cyclones, and longer-lasting hurricanes and more rains. that is what we are seeing now. anchor: just to be clear, it is the tropical cyclone season in the region we can expect these things to happen, but you're saying because of climate change and global warming, this impacts the effects of these storms. >> that is correct. i don't think they really create the storms but in a storm they are apt to be a bit stronger,

potentially hurt and longer-lasting. themselvesupon because of the internal dynamics of the storm process called i walk replacement. and one of the big things that can spread well inland is the flooding rains. that has been a symptom and not just in these three storms but also all the hurricane season last year in the u.s., for instance. anchor: would rainfall intensities and flooding be not as bad word not for human induced climate change? >> we have been able to show that in particular in the case of hurricane harvey. so in that case, were able to show that the very warm water which extended down to 160 meters or more deep in the ocean , it continued to supply moisture to that storm and as a

result, the rainfall was heavier and that also provides fuel for the storm to make it more intense and that in turn sucks even more moisture into the storm. and so these are very consistent with the view of how the storms are actually affected by climate change and it is really true, the warmer ocean and the warmer moisture environment they're are occurring in. >> will people who have been treated to the least to clinic ain't -- climate change be the one who pay the cost? >> this lens and a good deal to issues like the green fund and whether or not there is adequate theort for adaptation and building of resilience. i don't think we can all together stop these storms, but we can certainly prepare better for them. anchor: thank you very much. we appreciate your analysis on this topic. joining us there, senior advisor

also said they cannot abide by unilateral american policies and will continue dealing with iran. it pushed -- if pushed, iran could restrict shipping lanes. and restart uranium enrichment. not i think that iranian leaders say they want to do but there's little doubt that the country is hurting. a crippled economy, soaring prices, runaway inflation create iranians worry it could mean and subsidies on fuel, electricity, and consumer goods going down. last year, the conference had bigger exhibits and there was a little more excitement in the air about running business, but that was before the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear deal and reimpose sanctions. one executive said u.s. sanctions are why russia wants to do even more business with iran. >> that is why we are here. be anis for sure, it will additional opportunity for

iranian oil it could compensate tehran by boosting trade in other areas. it could serve as a vector or barter for it with other goods. china has even no indication it intends to stop buying iranian oil, leading some to believe it may be used in this -- as a bargain and check. -- as a bargaining chip. an additional waiver is out of the question for china. anchor: joining us from inhington, a senior fellow washington. thank you for speaking to us. president trump says he wants to cut the rent crude exports to zero. how badly will the decision to end the sanction waivers impact iran's oil output? >> clearly, washington is stepping up the pressure against the islamic republic and it winds economy is impacted by all these pressures. at the same time, i am not so sure that the u.s., at least in

short-term them a will manage to bring down the oil exports to zero. i've believe that iran will find customers for its oil. it may be giving very high discounts on the black market to export some of its oil. -- has managed to survive economically so it can avoid the agenda of washington, which increasingly appears to be bringing about the economic collapse of the regime and iran. even if that is the problem that they maintain crude exports, simple food items are getting explicit -- any expensive and on of women. sanctions could be very destructive. they certainly are. and the regime knows the destructive potentials of those sanctions. which is also why we see the
