report, but the national climate assessment and other government reports like that including e.u. reports, u.k. government reports. but if you look deep within the reports, and i do in my book, droughts, wildfires, sea level rise, hurricanes, even according to these reports that people cite as evidence of a climate emergency, the premise of your question, shows either no trends or declining trends on climate time scales, 30 years, 50 years, 100 years. so people can say, oh, california's evidence of a climate energy or the heat wave in the south -- nonsense, nonsense. epa data shows up currently the 1930s was the hottest heat wave in history. we're below the 30-year average temperature on satellites. the u.s. is less than 2% of the earth's surface. there's many areas of cold. so if you look at all of these factors, there is no climate emergency. and then, of course, i also quote scientists who look at the geologic history. we've had co2 many times higher, 90% of earth's history has had the highest co2 levels -- lower levels -- i'm sorry, higher levels than current, and essentially

alix: we have seen some travel restrictions come back into place, the e.u.trictions on u.s. travelers, the u.s. elevating germany to level 3 which means be careful if you travel. does the science support that? people are dealing with delta and we are all dealing with more vaccinations, does the science support those restrictions? dr. hotez: the european restriction was for unvaccinated u.s. travelers. i think you will see that increase. more and more countries will be insisting that anybody entering the country get vaccinated and there's precedent for that like yellow fever vaccine for some countries. that might be what draws a lot of the vaccination rates. overall on the travel restrictions, i'm not a big fan. during all of the bluster that went into travel restrictions from china at the beginning of the pandemic and the u.s. in 2020, and then the virus in new york from southern europe igniting our first big wave. but i don't think we are in a good position to really understand the impact of travel restrictions overall. but restricting travel from unvaccina
