. >> joining ut is professor michael mann, director of the penn center for science and sustainabilitylet's start with tropical storm hilary. this is a first. why is this storm so abnormal for california and what does it say for what lies ahead? >> the governor laid it out pretty clearly. this is climate change. we're seeing it in all of its forms, in the wildfires in canada, what happened in maui, the flooding rains we're now seeing in california. you see greater extremes at both ends of the spectrum, a warmer ocean puts more moisture into the atmosphere. when you get rainfall, you get larger amounts of it, you get flooding events. warmer soils evaporate more moisture, so you get more drought over the sub tropics and the mid latitudes. this is it. greater extremes at both ends of the spectrum, whether it's this very rare hurricane. the statistics of pacific hurricanes that go in that direction are small enough that when we use models to estimate how likely they are, it's sort of hard to really establish whether there's a trend or not because they're such rare events. what we can talk

climate scientist michael mann on how a changing climate may affect our future. >> sometimes you'll hear from the critics. they'll say, "we demand proof that humans are causing this." and my response is that proof is reserved for alcoholic beverages and mathematical theorems." it doesn't characterize how science works. science works through weights of evidence, through likelihoods, through confidence levels, and so we're about as certain that humans are causing global warming as we are about any scientific proposition, but we never say we've proven something in science because there's always the outside chance that we could discover some new piece of information that would change our perspective. it's absolutely true that critics of sort of the forces of antiscience, those looking to confuse the public about the science will always draw upon that vulnerability, that as scientists we're never comfortable in stating things in absolutes because that's not the way the world works, that's not the way science works. unfortunately our detractors, those looking to sort of pollute the public disc

my next guest is michael mann, the director of the penn center for science, sustainability and medialvania. he has a new book about the climate crisis called "our p fragile moment," which is a very appropriate moment that we are in right now. tell us a little bit, michael, about what you're seeing and how the climate crisis is affecting this particular storm as we see this unusually warm water in the gulf. >> yeah, thanks, it's good to be with you, and you put your finger on it. we have bathtub level warmth with these waters in the caribbean and the tropical atlantic. it's been a record year. it's been the warmest year we've ever seen when it comes to atlantic ocean temperatures. and global temperatures as well. a piece of that could be this transition we're undergoing from a la nina to an el nino event, that's a sort of natural fluctuation in the climate, but it's riding on top of this tide of an ever warming planet from carbon pollution, from the burning of fossil fuels and the heat isn't just at the surface, it's penetrating deeper into the ocean layers and that's when you see the
