ipcc conclusions, sometimes they are not put in proper context of they truncate the history or don't give a sense of scale and so on so i've done that. >> that is right. the precision in language is difficult in soundbites on tv. if you are lucky, you get 3 to 4 minutes of airtime and usually the host once an impact thing like it is a hoax or obama was wrong or biden did this or trump did that. you get hammered for that. you need to come back with an answer, you can't equivocate, you have to reach a conclusion and in 3 minutes it is hard. >> this science in particular is so complicated and nuanced that it does not adapt well at all. >> after i published my review which i can share with the audience. i will tell those were listening if you haven't read it, and your carefully explaining what happened, where we are, what the data mean, where they come from, i look at the sea level rise graph and it oscillates. it accelerated and decelerated. what you don't see is a signal saying there is a clear trend of the last 2 centuries, and in the rate. there is a clear trend towards the level ris

>> how can the ipcc expand viewership and grew awareness?r relationship with the local broadcasters is something we have been doing. in many parts of the world, we are still in the moment of investing. for the tokyo games, we are investing in africa, giving broadcasting rights that zero cost to more than 20 african nations. so we are creating value for the movement in those countries. of course, some of the markets are more sophisticated. you can invest in making the broadcasting better and bringing their broadcasting to the spring games, the world cup's. that is the challenge, to show that the paralympic sport happens through 65 days a year and not only every four years after the olympics. >> china is now a major player in paralympic sports. what is its role here and its importance? >> china is a good example in two ways. first gain the investment in paralympic sports. they have an incredible budget, good infrastructure. training centers. they have a policy and the results are there in terms of topping the metal table. three or four games i

issued a statement to controversy among the membership the issue statements rubberstamping what the un ipcc says. we should have a deeper look at the issue and so i convened the workshop. they sat and listened to three consensus scientists and all of them were authors in one way or another and three skeptical scientists there were presentations that were told and i came away with the sense there's a lot here we don't understand and some of it is very important to know. i was also surprised by how i had not heard about those shortfalls in the time that i had been studying the matter so about the substance of the science and also how it had been communicated. >> similar to mine years ago on a different subject, nuclear energy, which we will come back to. i spent a week at the accident when i first came to the united states as he documented immigrant. despite our trials and tribulations, i'm still proud to be year although it is challenging these days. but enough about canada. i was thrown into the debate around nuclear energy in 1979 and spent the week of the accident immersed in the commissi

formed the ipcc. when ronald reagan's e.p.a. said we need to create a global cap and trade program to reduce a global pollutant, to protect the ozone. when that same e.p.a. and the subsequent george bush, both republican presidents, i would add, when they said, let's take that same model and apply it to a domestic pollutant, as i had rain forming compounds -- acid rain forming compounds, we have a shrinking ozone hole because of their leadership. when they did that at the end of the 1980's, we were on the right track. that was 30 years ago. what do we have to do now to turn this ship around? the heck of it is we know what we haved to to reduce our emissions and we know how to do it. clean infrastructure, creating solar panel, building big things is what america is good at. we don't need to be constrained by our ambition. my goodness. when the new deal was passed, we electrified 80% of rural america in just 15 years. i'd like to think our capabilities are even greater now. let's embrace that opportunity. the hard questions in thi

so as we reassess this plan, we need to rachet up to get to climate goals that even the ipcc is sayingwe need to get to. we just saw a huge piece of antarctica break off, the biggest ever. and if we don't make these numbers more robust, we're not going to be doing our part to help get there. even though this is great and it's progress, we need to push the envelope and do more. the plan we have put forward for local buildout plan will help you get there faster. thank you. call the roll call please. >> clerk: (roll call) the motion passes. next item, please. >> clerk: item 10. additional funding for equitable climate action. the speaker is deborah raphael, director and the item is for discussion and possible action. >> i want to continue the budget discussions tonight, as mentioned in prior meetings and budget discussions, we're going to keep going. we're going to keep pushing forward to make sure the department has the funding it needs the achieve the huge climate work we have ahead of us. it's the perfect time for us to advocate for additional funding. we have already taken action to s

even 1.5 celsius of warming, the lower target set by the ipcc, will be beyond most organisms' abilityeberg is melting, oceans rising, and forest turning to savannah. lyse doucet is the chief international correspondent for us. how bad is this, in plain english? well, i am going to focus on one particular issue, and that is a dire warning from the world food programme, which has now highlighted an issue of starvation caused not by conflict, as we often hear in so many parts of the world, but exclusively by climate change, drought after drought after drought in southern madagascar. it is being described as the worst drought in 40 years, and we were briefed by the executive director of the world food programme, who described it as a silent tragedy in a forgotten corner. how often do we hear about the situation in southern madagascar, but simply because he was a part of the world when the people of southern madagascar have done nothing to contribute to the world's climate crisis, and now they are literally facing starvation because of it. there are tens of thousands of people who are just
