changes in, in frozen water. also, what we're talking about in, in, especially out arctic russia is changes to the permafrost, permanently frozen ground in siberia and other places which is starting to, to melt. and that melts out is have in significant consequences or infrastructure for roads and buildings are laid down on what they think is, is frozen. ground solid, frozen ground is turning out lots of a and also the release of methane stored beneath the permafrost sealed away from the atmosphere by the time of us. but as of permafrost melts away, that methane can get in, to be honest. so let, let's, let's talk a bit more about that because i came across this thing in nature magazine which sat that on the other hand that severely cold winters will be one of the harshest effects of global warming. and that kind of note made no sense to me can explain this paradox. yeah, absolutely. so in the united kingdom, a couple years ago we had something that will be caught the beast from the east. you probably didn't hear

what have you concluded as to how climate change reporting has changed? where it's routinely on the front page. when i was editor at zeit, we also had a climate week and tried to look at the topic from all angles. it always felt like a topic, something you create a special issue or have a climate week. and we didn't understand that it's systemic and needs to be part of every vertical. to give you an example, what i mean by that — often in sports journalism, you read a story about a player transfer or the super league versus the champions league, and we're all used to seeing financial information in sportsjournalism. and we don't say, "oh, look financialjournalism in the sports section." and similarly, i think we are now in this process of ultra—normalising climate journalists across all articles. and that's really necessary because there's no topic or vertical that is not affected... what do you mean by vertical? for people who don't know, what's vertical? a vertical is sports culture, science, politics — it's how you structure. just imagine it like the n

to address climate change. write that successful state action to limit carbon emissions needs not just state action but consistent action over a long period of time. this is something that democracies find hard to achieve. the united states is the worst offender, with efforts being halted by elections of 2000 and 2016. looking ahead, how important is it for the united states to take a world leadership role in this issue? guest: i think it is very important. i think the prestige of countries, the influence of countries in the decade and generations to come will depend heavily on their performance in this. if the united states is seen to fail, despite the fact that it is so much richer on a per capita basis than china or india, then that will be a real blow to american moral leadership in the world. host: is it part of your belief that the united states has not fully graphs, at least won the political argument, broadly amongst the population? is that part of the reason we have not been able to act in this country

will that changes the equivalent changes of a glacial insect glacial cycle 10000 years? nobody in terms of carbon dioxide concentration is a 100 parts per 1000000. we're doing it that in about a 100 years. so the rates of change on our planets as a consequence of burning of fossil fuel, i measured increases in the concentration of greenhouse gases, is fall quicker, near to 2 orders of magnitude quicker than the planet is normally able to accommodate us. and so when plants stop, stop moving is by land able to accommodate that, rapid shift. it's all that you when you're bouncing a tree in the soil, is the microbiology, the small microbes in the soil that really allows the trees to 5. and all the trees must be able to migrate quite quickly is a really unknown question about whether the microbial communities, which is so important to the development of plants, whether they are able to shift at the same pace as well. so we're performing a very unusual experiment on our planet, changing it more rapidly than it's ever been changed before with the found consequences to the way t

change.e we see how some key hormones change during pregnancy and their effects. and as amazing as these little molecules are at transforming a woman into a mother, many of these changes come at a cost. i spoke with psychologist catherine preston from the university of york and asked her to explain why. there's quite a lot of different changes going on and this can have quite a large effect on how people feel about themselves. there are three key things. there is the appearance of feeling dissatisfied with the way they appear to other people in the kind of clothes they have to wear, their change in wardrobe, or their developing bump being too small or too big. but there are also concerns about excess weight gain, and also the physical burdens of pregnancy. being frustrated that you can do the same type things that you could do before you are pregnant. some of our research has shown, negative feelings about these kind of body changes during pregnancy can impact on the bond that is developing w

change.sion. the idea of not having a firm date for net zero. talking about by or around mid century, lots of people would like that to be set in stone, really, as 2050. the date for making sure we are at net zero. that is when there is a balance between emissions going into the atmosphere and those being taken out. let's see what that means for glasgow. that will unfold over the days ahead. world leaders including those of the g20 in rome who will be travelling here laters. the conference has got under way already. it is a procedural opening. delegates from almost 200 countries are gathering here for two weeks of talks aimed at reaching that crucial agreement on how to cut emissions. cop26's president alok sharma said today that hitting that 1.5 degrees global warming target will be tough and the world needs to come together to achieve it. alexandra mackenzie reports from glasgow. alok sharma, elected president of the 26th session of... the global summit is finally under way. glasgow is host

we know that climate change brings about demographic changes.what is happening in mongolia is forcing so many people around the country to move to the capital. we can imagine that certain climate and drastic climate advance will force that kind of movement in other places. i wonder if you can talk a little bit about how the mongolian water supply is dealing with all this movement of people into a concentrated urban area? >> thank you for your question. this is an important point and something that as we develop our program in mongolia with our partners, that is indeed one of the stresses being placed on the water supply i think there's evans and my written testimony to the efforts that we are taking with our mongolian partners and looking at policy reforms but the program includes a significant component which is investing in actually, drinking water for the capital city. drawing from groundwater in a sustainable way and actually protecting the upstream watershed. this is part of an overall plan. as a look into the future and increase in pressur

social change will happen, ah, a toss many of us need to change the way we treat out. there is one group which is taking things to the next level. in october 2018, a group of activists, ann, good by political inaction on climate change declared themselves to be an open defiance of the u. k. government, they themselves extinction rebellion or exile for sure. i'm doing the right amount is employee company they, they, what, outside the system, engaging in bold, non violent acts of civil disobedience. their strategy is to create headline grabbing protest designed to maximize public exposure. they believe this will gain them a mass following and force real change. in just 6 months, they have already expanded into 15 countries to spread across full continent. i'm at that london headquarters on the day of one of their most extreme actions. yet in a protest day, a cooling blood of our children exile plant, still 500 liters of fake blood on downing street office and residents of british prime minister hiker. and i live in history. nice me one of the ex i was co founders is clar

so is kew fundamentally changing? kew has been here for centuries, and you're now saying, "well, our entire mission is about sustainability, "about delivering a message to the public "about the fragility of our planet." well, that wasn't the way in which kew was conceived, so is this a transformed kew? i think it's fair to say there is fundamental change. some things will stay the same. we will always have beautiful gardens with beautiful buildings, with extraordinary living collections. we will always have our cohort of scientists and our science collections. what is changing is the purpose to which we apply those assets. in the 18th and 19th century, it was about economic botany. it was about empire, it was about trade. in the 19th/20th century, it was about documenting and understanding the diversity of plant life on earth, which still needs to be completed, but much progress has been made. now, i think it has to be about aligning everything we do to finding solutions to those global challenges and building the pub

like we have had climate change. it should not be an often biodiversity shouldn't be an often it's largely impacted by climate change. and therefore, the decisions that are made probably at climate change, where we have new positions and resources set aside, should be much more or equal to what would be put for biodiversity. without it then we are talking of an african that cannot survive. and with a large population, a growing youth population, all of us very dependent on the natural resources. then for us, biodiversity. this is not just a discussion. this is about all i believe. stephan under the chinese leadership over the coming decade or so, i suspect we're going to hear more of the so called 30 times 3030 percent of our land and 30 percent of our oceans need to be protected. how do you square that? however, with the next donald trump, for example, a pros until a prime minister someplace good gets into office saying jobs, jobs, jobs, and all the next discovery of an undiscovered, massive field of oil or gas unde

changes in, in frozen water. also what we're talking about in, in, especially out arctic russia is changes to the permafrost, permanently frozen ground in siberia and other places which is starting to, to mel felt. and that meltdown is having significant consequences or infrastructure for roads and buildings that are laid down on what they think is, is frozen ground solid frozen ground is turning out much of a and also the release of methane stored beneath the permafrost, sealed away from the atmosphere. by the time of us, but as of permafrost melts away, that me thing can get in to be understood. so let's, let's talk a bit more about that because i came across this thing in nature magazine which sat that on the other hand that severely cold winters will be one of the harshest effects of global warming. and that kind of note made no sense to me can explain this paradox. yeah, absolutely. so in the united kingdom, a couple years ago we had something that will be caught the beast from the east. you probably didn't

climate change has many faces. definitely one of the most apparent and most visible impact of climate change, especially in our region of the world. coupled with this increased frequency of extreme events, so more flash floods, heavy rain, severe storms, but also an increased frequency of hot days and nights where temperatures are above 35, so this is all exacerbating an already very fragile ecosystem and infrastructure in the country. and reports, undp studies, have shown that a lot more hot days and hot nights will be coming in the future, going from 35 to 90 days by mid—century, which means a whole summer. so a whole summer of high temperature will lead to drought, water scarcity, which will threaten food security, energy security and the livelihoods of a lot of lebanese. lebanon is facing, at the moment, so many crises. one of them is, of course, the energy crisis. do you see any potential for the country turning into more sustainable, climate—friendly solutions? yes, definitely. i think the silver lining of th

and that's not good news for the fight against climate change. let me change tack a little bit.ter of economy and finance, one of the biggest deals that was keeping one sector of french industry very happy was the deal to build submarines for australia. that deal has just fallen apart. it has collapsed because the australians have decided that, because of cost overruns and repeated delays, as well as a shift in their technological ambitions, they're going to go with a us/uk submarine fleet. how much of a national embarrassment was that for france? i think it is an australian embarrassment. i think it is a british embarrassment. i think it is an american embarrassment. it's not a french embarrassment. but you are the country that is losing the business... you are speaking about delays, there was no delay. we were sticking, as usual, to our commitments. we were sticking to our promises. the australian government has taken a decision which is not a fair decision, which is not the kind of decision we should expect from allies, but that's a fact. we have very good submarines. we have

and we're here because the arctic is changing and this year is changing faster than ever. events never seen before made headlines across the world. the ice cap melted at a record rate. the water a created in 24 hours enough to entirely cover an area. the size of florida in 5 centimeters of water. great chunks of the ice sheet collapsed and drifted off into the open ocean and has been so warm. it has been rain, not snow on the summit for the 1st time on record. but what does it mean and why does it matter? and what is what happens on the ice sheet had global implications, where the ice capsule part of the plan is natural system and that system has been breaking down. we use this iceberg as a kind of canvas and put a map of europe on top of it and then superimpose greenland. and you can see what a colossal land mass it is. and then if we put the ice cap on top of that will as vast, it's more than a 1000 kilometers from east to west and more than 2000 kilometers from north to south. it is colossal and it is retreating. in fact, the amount of water that pulls off this ice cap every summer

climate change has been happening since the globe. the climate is always going to change.have some responsibility to what we put in our atmosphere? absolutely. but everybody does is let's go completely solar, what happens when the wind does not blow? nunnally that -- not only that, electric cars. everybody likes tesla -- is that what it is called? who is going to force that? people who have these older cars, voting for people to make these changes, won't be able to afford the changes that they are voting for. when have we gotten to a society that we do not see what is before our eyes? host: again, president biden is in europe now at the g20. behind it, the cop20 in glasgow. what is this climate conference? the wall street journal has a story that explains what this is. here is what they said. starting sunday, climate negotiators from nearly every country will gather for cop20 in scotland to hammer out an agreement aimed at cutting emissions that scientists hope will cut global warming. the u.k. is hoping that this meeting, the aim is to agree to new measures for emissions
