Elizabeth great to be with you, im elizabeth prann. Voters in france will have a runoff that will have a global impact. One campaign trying to deal with fallout after claims it was the victim of a massive and coordinated Hacking Attack designed to destabilize the election. The french are about in a 48 hour Blackout Period before the vote takes place. Greg palkot is in paris, france with the latest. Hi, greg. Hi, elizabeth. Taking a page out of the u. S. Election playbook, the leader here in this president ial elections here in france has been hit by a massive cyber
attack. Thousands of emails and documents seized have the computers of campaign safer of emmanuel macron, they were posted online. While moist of the material is kind of mundane, it is combined according to authorities today, with fake news items m
slower and wetter. and ida was a prime example of those changes. with every fraction of a degree of warming, the effects get worse. if we think this is bad, we have to get ready for the climate of the next decades chen we know that we have a couple tenths of a degree warming more. all righ reporter: and the u.n. reports that the world s emissions need to drop smartly to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, even then we ll peak before falling again. i grew up here in california and in the 80s and 90s, we didn t hear of as many large wildfires as we do today. in looking at the list of the largest and most destructive wildfires in california history, most of them did happen in the last 10 to 20 years. so the effects of climate change aren t something that just future generations have to handle. it is unfolding right now in our
have to get ready for the climate of the next decades, when we know we have a couple tenths of a degree warming more. reporter: in the u.n. report s most optimistic scenario, the world s emissions need to drop sharply, beginning now to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. even then, we ll peak above a dangerous warming threshold before falling again. and amarah, you and i both grew up in california. i don t remember in the 80s and 90s hearing about such large wildfires, as frequently as we do today. and at first, i thought, maybe i was a kid and not paying as much attention. but if we looked up the list of the largest wildfires in california, the largest 20 and the most destructive 20 wildfires in california, most of them did happen in the last 10 to 20 years. so amarah, things are definitely changing before our eyes. it sure is. and that s a good point, right? when we were younger, there was a fire season, a start date, and an end date. and now it seems like the fire

kevin hassett. he thinks this will be the trend. we have more momentum. so the next time we write down our forecast for the year, it will go up a couple tenths. so we re looking at a lot of momentum. a lot of reshoring activities. so there s a lot neil: a lot of it driven by net exports, agricultural products. a lot of people could have been trying to get the deals down, the shipments out. so in a weird way, the president s hard line on trade boosted that numbers. there s two factors. one is what you said. so we ve looked at data. we ve seen, for example, the chinese increased their inventories of soy beans a lot in anticipation of a trade dispute. a lot of reshoring of activity.
