republicans in arizona and elsewhere were backpedaling, energetically following the state supreme court abortion ruling. the republican candidate for senate in arizona carry lake, a favorite of donald trump, was old for the 160 year old abortion lot. 2 years ago, we have a great law on the books right now that happens. now that it has happened, lake says she opposes it. as soon as trump saying the situation in arizona would be, quote, straightened out, but boasting about his role in over turning a constitutional right to abortion. people actually 59 percent of americans believe abortion should be legal. according to the most recent poll, democrats pounced on the ruling republicans here in arizona are consistent, they are complicit in this band and in

a nation wide attempt to band access to the range of reproductive health care, from contraception to a portion to ivy up. they don't plan to stop until our rights are gone to light. arizona is democratic governor called it a dark day. i am calling on the legislature to do the right thing right now. and repeal this 1864 ban and protect access to reproductive health care. president jo button also denounce the ruling which does not make any exceptions for cases of race and incest on the issue of a horse in service back. what do you say to the people in arizona right now or where the thing a lot going place, the dates back to the civil war here. elect me. i'm in a 20 so 20th century 21st century. not back then, the arizona is one of the most crucial swing states in this year's election in abortion rights referendum will likely be on the states ballot in november,
6:32 am
energizing democrats in a boon provide. meanwhile, women's health providers are dismayed in disconcerted the 19th century law calls for jail terms of up to 5 years for anyone for forming an abortion. today's ban criminalizes me from providing a central health care to these patients until their life is at risk. the court says the law will be stayed for 14 days before it goes into effect. rob reynolds, l, g 0. and that's it for this half hour news. but you can find all the nations developments on our website and i'll just say, or dot com to stay with us dying. the last few inches is coming up next. the award winning in depths investigations. the gift from telling science into
6:33 am
a new toner. students from asia and the pacific one o one here on out to 0 the the way on doing what other land disappears. a good. busy evening change the ship to use home of the underwater now these coastal areas are going to be flooded over
6:34 am
the i've lived here my life over here. so these, louisiana, we phase many coastal problems because of the costly a routing lane. they're not going to be lane will have levies which are basically land masses that are formed in uh like a wall to keep high sea levels out. the might of some people still live outside the lock systems. we have started to leave their land and they've been on for hundreds of use, literally as ancient land. whenever land goes, everything goes with it. turned out to the dangers here. storms right
6:35 am
across the south for me to live human activities submitted on terms of global warming as and the heat a global binding as a right the, the rate of temperature increase. this without precedent, we're facing a future that we don't understand. we can't predict fully, a lot of places are simply not going to be comfortable to live in all human settlements. after face this problem, they grew up in climate, which is going to be much different from the climate. we're going to get the, you can see the intense rain storms. you can see the incredible heat waves where
6:36 am
people are dying, large population. so we'll have to move all over the world because of sea level rise. we're going to see more categories, 4 and 5. hurricane, so maybe even categories we've never experienced before, we're about to get a brand new climate. the climate change means we have to live differently. now, mediately, 10 years ago, 20 years ago for very late getting started, the move somewhere else, a little bit higher elevation. the
6:37 am
i was working in the early 19 seventy's as an astrophysicist, but it had very little direct connection with what was going on a nurse. and ultimately, that's where i wanted to focus, how could the science that i news be applied to solving problems that are really important to humanity as a whole? how warm the plan old gets and whether the conditions under which human beings and other species drive will remain close to what they are today or things just going to spin out of control. ok. so we start with driving forces. those are what are the emissions going to be? and it's not that easy. if you think about it, what are we going to be doing $3050.00, a 100 years from now? that's going to cause human beta emissions. how does the political system going to
6:38 am
respond? how does the human psyche get a response? there you get in an area which is really impossible to predict. and the question then becomes, how do you fix up between these events? how do you recover from a hurricane before you have time to really fix it? damaged the question, i guess we might, as of drake, they'll pick up next time is why do we do nothing? thank you. the louisiana is for the one of them, more climate sensitive places, really on the planet. we are very vulnerable to climate change because this is a low lying area that is in the hands of
6:39 am
a lot of hurricane. as the ocean gets warmer, we are seeing an increase in the intensity pertains to of the 3 barges. hurricanes to ship louisiana in the recorded histories and have hit this decade in 20202021. the whenever a hurricane comes, it's only got so much time until it comes in during the hurricane. uh, as it was hitting, i was watching people's houses and breaking, and half the roofs getting torn off the backs. vince's came down, trees started falling, the house was shaken and then uh, i can look outside my window and uh, watch my neighbors porch for the i
6:40 am
thought i was on uh, the next day everything was destroyed. we have seen a r v, a flipped over. and after going through a try, see if anybody was inside, it was one of my neighbors. i was old man, he had passed away, we didn't have no cell service. so we just had to wrap up the body and try to keep it as preserved as possible. and so then we could contact authorities and after they could contact the family makes me feel kind of sad. was kind of like last history. the everything was in balance or relatively so until we started burning so much fossil fuels. when you burn spouse or fuels or releases carbon dioxide molecules, which stand out as here for
6:41 am
a very long time and they reflect the outgoing radiation doc down to earth. there's more energy coming into the plan and that is going out of the planet into space. so the plan has no choice, but the more fossil fuels we burn, the higher the planet and look at that say the places that are now side and dry, you know, wind up being a side or dryer. places that now occasionally did heavy rainstorms most likely to be even heavier. if we don't get ahold of it now, get the problem under control. we'll just have health the as i began my work in the environmental community. and the 1st big
6:42 am
issue i took on was air pollution, but while i was investigating it, i ran across to climate change problem in the literature. and then e p, a report on the environmental impacts of cold. and i was so astonished that we, as human beings would be warming up the planet and it turned out nobody was working on nobody's trying to make it a publication. the, this phrase is really use some significance because this was given to me with a nice inscription by senator 10 worth of colorado from july 28th 1988. the purpose of scale was to establish a national energy policy to reduce global warming. this was a leading edge. this bill to begin to address climate change.
6:43 am
we ask people what climate change, so it's all about. they wouldn't have a clue. we're starting from scratch 0. i spent most of my time talking to scientists so that i could understand the problem on the one hand and asked them to come forward to be outspoken. i got a call from someone named grace palmer. it was a well known environmental activist who was looking for maybe companionship on the road to try to solve a very difficult problem. it was very good at working behind the scenes and convincing senator is a 2 fold congressional hearings on climate change. so michael became one of the prominent scientists to be outspoken on the issue. there are very few things in life that i ever get frightened about. this was one of how
6:44 am
is it that human beings actually could come eventually to control? we are as climate is going, the typical sciences was saying, i can just tell you information, but i'm not gonna talk politics or talk about what, what you change. and people like oppenheimer decided to speak out. this is really great. the i think if you look at some of my congressional testimony, you'll notice that i got it just about right. i would predict that we would see the effects of climate change relatively near in the future, perhaps in a couple of decades. i was very clear when i spoke to senator, is this going to be big problems unless we start cutting emissions that the
6:45 am
moving the politics of climate change is a huge task. because you have an enormous portion of the economy that is dependent on the use of fossil fuels. so all those interest created a fictional story about the issue in order to diminish any political chance of action that didn't one. 6 the average person to know what the truth was in that climate change of the exxon is now and why other than one of the largest oil producing companies in the world. we know that exxon scientists in the 1980s were fully aware of the gravity of the
6:46 am
problem. their predictions were very good, very accurate. it was very well understood that c o 2 had a major role maintaining the atmospheric balance, the temperature. we knew where the temperature was going to go, was only portion of how fast it was going to get not yes, the but they method all out. they knew how it would affect their company if society wanted to do something about this. fossil fuels would have to go at some point they were not interested in, in long term presenting the plant. they're really enjoying the short term profits, the. they never published anything about what we found. so mobile is going to have 2 sided attitude towards climate. if you feel uncomfortable about mobiles position, let us know they were not only funding and saying it wasn't
6:47 am
a problem. they were publishing reports saying this is not an urgent problem. don't drive a big car. they say big cars is safe or is there a global warming problem? thousands of scientists say no to this day, we suffer from that propaganda. it's something that many people still believe in the science is critical to understand that. but the politics of it are essential to solving the problem. but the politicians become dependent on all these interest companies for money to run their elections they really stopped us from taking action, keeping america competitive requires affordable, entered. how do you get a country that's an oil country to negotiate? not selling more oil. america is addicted to oil. the,
6:48 am
the economy of the louisiana was industry is a very, very precious war. and most everybody worked for the oil industry. and if anything were to happen to that would be so many people going without jobs. if you live in louisiana with young people like me, have offered to 6 sign on early to go into the military. mostly, or my plan for the future is to work for the oil industry. feel bad, but there's nothing really much that we can really do to stop it as a single person. the everybody has other things to worry about. do i have enough money to send my children to college? try for the insurance on my house. climate change can see. well yeah,
6:49 am
it's important. yeah. it's a big risk, but we don't have to deal with it right now. the day inevitably comes when you can push climate change drugs because it's starting to be such a big factor that you can see it in your own life. the all this dramatic because the areas that i once knew and once called home, i go and after all the families docs and everything for a shrimp boats and all that are down there and was the last thursday. either way, the rows are going to, you know, a and after we're going to have to start moving further further up the person that
6:50 am
makes me happy is my girlfriend carm. she's one of a car and she's special. she lives us to me and she understands me. she knows that i've been through i got diagnosed with chronic anxiety earlier this year and post traumatic stress disorder. sometimes i could just start the stair off. there's something called like a 1000 yard stare and then i'll start to flash the i've seen a lot and i've been through a lot. i kind of always get worries and ever something bad happens to mr. russell. how are you doing today? get ready to go get some grass. no, yeah, i already got the boat to the wireless thing. we need to worry about my grandfather used to go and kids grab this tramps but because
6:51 am
i'm out of her chains. nobody wants to live there just outside delivery system. is not protected so they get flooded off. okay, sounds good, small. all the elders that live down the values. they live there the whole life, but they're just not going to be around to fully see it take effect or is the use that's going to be around whenever it happens. the reports were really cute. talk to somebody. so please give a warm welcome to dr. rotate
6:52 am
the but i'm also a scientist. i was fired earlier this year for holding up a banner editors science conference. the banner said out of the lab and into the streets. and we have that banner for about 30 seconds. and for that i was fired. the, i'm telling you the story though, to explain why more of a scientists aren't out here in the streets with you. it's because we are by and large compelled by our institutions to remain neutral, even in the face of environmental devastation. and for over 40 years. most of us had some so on behalf of the community, i apologize for our cowardice. the
6:53 am
somebody some time is going to have to grapple with big problems like climate change. and if we don't, we just push off the responsibility into the future on other generations, including our own children. and that isn't just a matter of science. that's a matter of what are your morals, what are your ethical standards? what do you think about your fellow human being, the quality on the pets? and so 2 options await us in the immediate future. quite a crisis for climate revolution. let's choose revolution. we need that are good by drawing, no surprise. should i have 7 grandchildren and they will all be living on a much warmer planet with all the consequences the each generation is going to continue to experience more intense impacts, then they have to live with them,
6:54 am
not the and bosses dawn for a limited way to wave furniture and that makes me very sad and upset that we we pushed about as hard as we could. we have a 100 year flood now occurring every 5 years. our air is polluted. our strides are on the you know what i think i want to do, want to buy your own damn life culture and move to see the water pumped into the front of the boat and a set of bodies pumping up. that's all my say that back are both coming up to in the future. i imagine a pretty good future where to stay warehouse living with carmen, but i most probably won't be living in southern louisiana. i might move up to like
6:55 am
middle to northern louisiana. my home would be under water at least to its roof. if not a little bit more. yeah. would you like to maybe come to the boat? i feel like i'd be good on the extra human habit to create a mess and then move on to somewhere else. but humanity is going to make it stand here. it's not gonna happen at a scape or to some other place in the universe. these changes will be rapid, costly, and largely undesirable. the viability of many eco systems is at stake, as is perhaps the viability of civilization. as we know, the,
6:56 am
since the consequences of ignoring climate change will be severe. it's time to act . now the most say it's so sad that people didn't listen. if i knew this, others were cause they chose to ignore it. i feel a strong sense of disappointment. we tried our best to get people's attention. so i overestimated the potential for change it to the
6:57 am
in the early days when i became aware of the climate issue, my wife lenore gave birth to our son ethan. and i just start quite a bit about the world. the scene was going to be living in and i remember walking on a bridge near our house back in those days, you know, sort of wondering what's going to be like for him, the room 950 more years from now again,
6:58 am
2081 is going to be almost up to one of these coastal areas are going to be flooded over it's going to be a man in the front of the water, you know, some sad to think about big difference. so what do you think we're gonna do for in a how well this is the rent, but who pays the price? when we came to clean up new orleans more than $1200.00 poor black people lost their lights. not a single rich american. less than like the real cost of the climate emergency. the most vulnerable of people who are suffering are poor people. but even rich people are going to be affected by the impacts of climate shift. outages here as new series died off to the higher. the latest news as it breaks around
