He was comforting. He did the right things and melania did the right things. Its his job in part to comfort people. Im glad he did it in that those hospital rooms. I think the victims and the First Responders were grateful that the president of the United States came to dayton. In fairness to the president , senator brown and mayor whaley were bluntly critical of things he has said and done in the past. Im very concerned about a president that divides in his rhetoric and plays to race in his rhetoric and is racist.

It was, then im grateful for that small comfort for them, but for the community at large to have been so regularly attacked and vilifi vilified and demonized by this president. To have created the conditions to make an attack like this possible, its very insulting to us that he was here but, look, were going to focus on making sure that were strong, making sure these families are okay.

Biles got emotional when she was speaking to reporters about the organization she says failed her. Its hard coming here for an organization and having had them failed us so many times and we had one goal and weve done everything that they asked us for, even when we didnt want to, and they couldnt do one damn job. You had one job. You literally had one job and you couldnt protect us. Biles believes its important for her and other gymnasts to keep expressing their disappointment publicly, both u. S. A. Gymnastics and the u. S. Olympic committee, for the inaction that allowed naasers serial molestation to go on unchecked for years. Chilling warnings in a new report. If we want to save this planet, we need to dramatically change the way we produce food. If we try to just cut Carbon Emissions in cars, factories and plants, were doomed for failure. The report is about to be released in the next hour. Nick peyton walsh has the details live from london. Reporter another startlingly serious, Inconvenient Truth that people are going to have to get our heads around. This is the second major report by the ipcc. That is important because this isnt just a fringe group or an activist lobby coming forward and saying, youve got to rethink the way you live your life, uncomfortably, this is the united nations. 100 experts, many countries together here signing on to what they communally believe are facts and the facts are pretty startling, frankly. About 23 of Greenhouse Gas emissions are caused by agriculture or land use. Thats basically making food. Over 1 3 is caused by the total of Food Production. Thats a startling fact for people to remember that the chimney stacks you saw in the images then or cars are behind emissions and if you drive teslas, that will vap fish overnight. This is changing what you eat on a daily basis. The report says if we do make major modifications in the amount of meat we produce, particularly beef. If we go vegan, if we rethink how much of the planet we use in deforestation and if we try to slow down the damage we do in soil. Soil is being eroded so much faster than it possibly could be recreated, unless we start these major changes in how we live, theres going to be unbelievable catastrophic changes to our environment. Add to that, too, the fact they say about 70 of the land on earth is not covered in ice, its currently being used by humans for things like this. Thats a stark warning here. It goes on to talk about how deforestation, decertification, a lot of things are happening much faster than we thought. Its a warning bell and sounding at a time when most of the world believes the science is established. This is about how we change our behavior because of those new facts. It takes about seven pounds of grain to make one pound of beef. Thats one of the big stake aways there. Maybe people should be eating more grain, less beef. As the middle classes start to grow around the world, the first thing they want to do is start eating more meat. Thats one of the challenges as you have economic growth, you have environmental damage. Nick peyton walsh. But the report, christine, does say in things here, look, theres changes we can make. This is not all hopeless. You can decide tomorrow to eat, for example, more mushrooms rather than beef every single day. That can have an impact that might, in fact, remove all of the damage that the Food Production system does. Nick peyton walsh, mushrooms it is. Mushrooms for us all.

Saying if we want to save the planet, we need to change the way we produce food. If we try to only cut Carbon Emissions in things like cars, factories, power plants, were doomed to failure. Cnns Nick Peyton Walsh is live in london with the details. Nick, essentially the culprit here is meat. Reporter meat but other types of Food Production as well. What we do to the map netplanet. Startling figures here and this is important. Not because its another activist group telling you things about how the planet is changing, this is the consensus. This is the u. N. , hundreds of experts, everybody on the same page and the consensus they basically have. Its about changing your eating habits in the immediate short term to avoid catastrophe. Heres some of what we learned. The new u. N. Report has emerged to reveal the shocking truth about how our food is ruining our planet. Officially estimate that go about 1 4 of Greenhouse Gases in the last decade came from food, farming and land use and that if we change what we eat and how we farm, we could eliminate nearly all of that. If we dont, the u. N. Experts warn chillingly, we risk longterm impacts. Thats a big ask in texas where beef, the biggest food culprit in Greenhouse Gas production, is a way of life. Among the ribs, grills, steaks, excess, try telling people here that time is running out to fix the climate emergency. Not today because this is delicious. Beef and dairy agriculture are a key and often overlooked cause of the Greenhouse Gases. Something we must think about it. Half a pound of beef is the same as driving 55 cars. Reporter we drive out, 12 million cattle in texas. Where the extraordinary toll of something as natural as beef emerges. We have to make dramatic changes by 2030. If not, beef and dairy will cause 10 of the Greenhouse Gases. It will cost 30 or more. Either way. We must act. I sit here and the smell. So many, so tightly packed together. Nearly 1. 5 billion cattle on earth, one for every five people. The United States will likely eat a record amount of beef. Were going the wrong way, but it is the bottom line, livelihoods, but understandably they meant more here. When i said global warning, you said they say. Do you believe in it . I dont believe in it. Why not . I just dont. Why . I just its hard for me to believe that Global Warming has something to do with rainfall. Reporter what would it take to change your mind about that . It would have to be a drastic change. Yes, we go through some drought. Thats just a normal period. Here in the last couple years we havent had much winter. Youre seeing it get warmer down here already but you want it to get really bad before you believe this . Right. Reporter the u. N. Report predicts basic food like cereals will get 8 more expensive and human use nets 3 4 of the earths ice melts. Reporter i think whats so startling about this report is the scope of change in Human Behavior thats required but also to some degree how these warnings sometimes pass almost unnoticed with a bit of fanfare, a bit of scare, a bit of alarmism and everyone goes back to doing exactly what they were doing the day before, christine. Until those changes are forced in one way or another. Nick peyton walsh. Thank you. The weeks long han hunt is over. Canadian authorities believe the bodies of the 19 and 18yearold were found on a river bank in northern manitoba. The two teens were suspected of killing three people.
