Christine bren nnaan, Thank Youo much. Well be watching and tune in to the all new Cnn Film Lfg monday 9 00 p. M. Eastern only on cnn. Hello again, everyone. Thank you so much for being with me. Im fredericka whitfield. Right now, a Desperation Setting in as the Gulf Coast deals with the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. The Storm Death Toll in Louisiana And Mississippi is 13 and many hard Hit Communities are running short on food, fuel and other supplies. Power outages still reported for more than 700,000 in louisiana amid scorching temperatures there. And the desperation in that state is turning deadly. A man was killed after reportedly cutting in line at a crowded gas station. The sheriff confirming to cnn moments ago that the suspected shooter has turned himself in. Lets start our coverage with cnns Nadia Romero in New Orleans. Nadia, what are you learning . Reporter its so unfortunate to hear about that, fredricka. Tensions are running high. People are frustrated. Obviously, pulling out a gun, shooting someone, not the answer but it does speak to what people are dealing with. This many days after a storm, not having power, not having airconditioning. All other food spoiling in their homes and people said enough and thats why theyre here at the Convention Center, evacuating the city of New Orleans. This is day one of the evacuation from the city, helping 2200 people a day. Thats their limit, who can get on coach buses and go out of New Orleans to get help. They start here at the Convention Center for 12 different locations, all gather here and come to these tables behind me. These are all stations where theyre going to get signed up, get registered. Theyll ask them questions. Who are you . Where did you come from . Are you traveling with anyone . You can bring your pet with you, the big reason some do not initially evacuate because they dont want to leave their pets behind. They can leave their pets here and get evacuated to Northern Louisiana or texas where they have Power And Electricity and water and all of those vitals, and i spoke with one woman who lived her whole life here in New Orleans and she said this last storm, Hurricane Ida, was the last straw for her. She said she is so upset by people who are looting and breaking in her neighborhood. She doesnt feel safe and she wants out. Food and clothes and i need a place to stay. They need to be safe and get out of New Orleans. So that is miss mary carter. She was nice enough to talk with us. She was leaving with her grandson who she says is mentally disabled. Shes leaving with her daughter and other grandkids who all just need to leave. And her home, she said it was like a river flowing through her home because she had flooding. Now shes got Mildew And Mold all over her clothes and she just couldnt take it anymore. So shes leaving. The good news here is that there are thousands of Line Men here trying to get the power back on, but for some people, its not just the power. Its also access to food and clean clothes. Fred . Oh my gosh. Horrible situation. And sad on top of all that, its not going to be remedied overnight. Its going to be many more weeks of heartache, if not months. Nadia romero. Thank you so much. President biden is pledging his full support to areas impacted by idas wrath. He toured through some of the areas in louisiana. But the consequences say the federal response has been severely lacking. Sleeping in the car. My kids are hot. We hungry. Were going to die in here. Wheres fema . Wheres the Red Cross . We need help now. Cnns Arlette Saenz in wilmington, delaware, where President Biden is spending the weekend. Is the White House delivering on any answers, particularly to the woman we just heard . Reporter fred, President Biden is vowing that the federal government will continue to provide resources as these regions continue to recover from Hurricane Ida. All the way from the Gulf Coast to up here in the northeast. And on tuesday, the president will see the damage that was caused by Hurricane Ida in New York and New Jersey firsthand. He will be touring and meeting with state and local officials. They are on the ground. This comes after the president spends seven hours on the ground in the Louisiana Area just Yesterday Meeting with those local officials, seeing firsthand that damage that was caused by the storm. And right after he toured one of those neighborhoods that had been impacted by Hurricane Ida, the president talked about and acknowledged the fact that people are growing frustrated with the situation. Particularly, when it comes to those Hundreds And Thousands of individuals who still are without power in the region. Take a listen to the promise the president made as he spoke yesterday. Were working 24 7 with the Energy Companies who we met with the heads of the day and deployed with more federal resources, including hundreds of generators and theres more to come to restore power as fast as we possibly can. Reporter now, in addition to working with the power companies, the president said that they have also been talking with Cell Phone Service companies to try to establish more steady and consistent service for people to communicate down there. Along with trying to provide more gasoline. Weve heard of all of those Gas Shortages that people are experiencing. The long lines, the waits in the heat to try to fill up their tanks. The president already authorized the release of 1. 5 million barrels of crude oil, tapping into this strategic Petroleum Reserve in order to get gas running a bit more faster. The president is also using these trips to both louisiana and up north to New York and New Jersey as a way to promote his build back better agenda. The president is arguing that they need resilient Infrastructure And Youve also heard lawmakers up in the northeast echoing that saying that the bills that are before Capitol Hill must be passed in order to help lead to recovery in the future from devastating storms like this. Arlette saenz, thank you so much. At least 50 people in the northeast have died after the remnants of Hurricane Ida caused massive flooding in the region. In cranford, New Jersey, stunning video showing water right there rushing into the home in the basement as the wall simply collapses. In pennsylvania, cleanup could take weeks after several tornadoes ripped across that state and many roads and homes are still underwater. Cnns Polo Sandoval is in philadelphia for us. Polo, what is the latest on the recovery and where are you . Reporter you know, fred, it was a few days ago that pennsylvania national guards men were navigating floodwaters around the city and some of the rescues to make that happen but now potentially focusing on the main Water Ways and getting water out of the roads that might be flooding the roadways as we look here in philadelphia over the river, theres actually rows over two feet above major flood thats dropped significantly but nonetheless, you can see the water still raging here. The Department Of Transportation officials have been working around the clock to pump water out of the Water Ways and into this river and thats one of the main reasons why authorities are recommending to people not get too close to it but the other side of the things is the cleanup process. This picture really giving an idea of the kind of stuff that floods, when they basically just flooded this area, left behind. The trees, miscellaneous debris as well. Once the water is gone, this is the kind of stuff that crews now have to clear out in order to allow for not just Vehicle Traffic but also even just pedestrians to be able to walk around these kinds of areas. In fact, there was some locals who told me a while ago on a beautiful saturday like today, you usually see people out and about fishing off the pier but obviously, areas like these are off limits. I spent some time in New York. Spent some time in New Jersey, which is where almost half of the fatalities were reported and there are certainly neighborhoods devastated by this. Obviously, people losing their Loved Ones but also others who lost their homes altogether and now tasked with having to clean out, rebuild, and thats what so many are re focusing on right now while others in philadelphia, it is business as usual. The road to recovery will be a tough one. Polo sandoval, thank you so much. Coming up in the Cnn Newsroom, he stormed Capitol Hill in bearskin and wearing horns.

Cnn is learning the White House may have to scale back its Rollout Plan for Coronavirus Booster shots set for later on this month. According to one source, the initial rollout may only include the Pfizer Booster vaccines. Moderna said it submitted its data on friday, but it may take a few weeks longer to move forward with those shots. This week, dr. Anthony fauci explained why he thinks a Booster Shot may be inevitable for most people. But i must say, for my own experience as an immunologist, i would not at all be surprised that the adequate full regimen for vaccination will likely be three doses. The u. S. Is now averaging 166,000 new covid19 cases each day, according to johns hop kihopkins. 7 increase over last weeks average. With the holiday upon us, urging anyone who isnt vaccinated not to travel. The u. S. Justice department has now secured a guilty plea from one of the most recognized faces from the capitol riot. Jacob chansley or you might know him as the socalled Qanon Shaman now facing up to 20 years in jail after storming the capitol wearing a bearskin and horns. Cnns Paula Reid has details. Reporter originally charged with seven crimes but plead guilty to just one of the most serious. He now faces the possibility of up to 20 years in prison but because he has no prior criminal record and the Justice Department now says it will recommend about 3. 5 to 4. 5 years, hes not likely to face that maximum prison time. Hes also required to pay 2,000 in Restitution Or Damage caused to the capitol and faces the possibility of up to a quarter million dollar fine. He has remained detained since he was arrested in january, even though his attorney has repeatedly asked the court to release him pending the ultimate resolution of his case. But the judge here found that he posed too great a risk of future violence to be released and he continues to be one of the small group of rioters who didnt attack anyone directly during the insurrection but the judge has found to be too dangerous, too great a threat of future violence to release. He is scheduled to be sentenced on november 17th. The Justice Department charged over 600 people related to the insurrection. They achieved their 50th Plea Deal this week and continue to look for hundreds more. Paula reid, cnn, washington. All right, up next, flash flooding, tornadoes, and widespread power outages.

Hurricane ida crippled the South And Northeast this Week Flooding roads, destroying homes, knocking out Power And Triggering hundreds of rescues. The Monster Storm is to blame for at least 63 deaths in the northeast and south. It slammed into Louisiana On Sunday and then kept on going, moving through the mississippi, tennessee, and kentucky states before flooding out the northeast. Heres a closer look at what the storm left behind. This extremely dangerous storm just made landfall moments ago. These are literally scenes of my worst nightmares. This is one of the strongest storms to make landfall here in modern times. We ended up with search and rescue. Rescued 348 people. 48 dead. No electricity. People dont know whats their next move. Its probably going to get rough. Its been like hell. I never been through nothing like this. The tremendous amount of rainfall in store for you throughout parts of the northeast here. This storm was of biblical proportion. It came fast and furious. Dozens and dozens of cars marooned, stranded. Waters are still high enough to completely cover Train Tracks and to flood this stadium. Our house is gone. What do you mean . Its like a tornado. Rescuers still looking for people in need of help. Always try to stick together, but this is too much for us. For all in this together. The nation is here to help. So as we begin to survey the damage, elected leaders are sounding alarms on a dangerous reality. Because of Climate Change, unfortunately, this is something well have to deal with great regularity. Global warming is upon us and its going to get worse and worse and worse unless we do something about it. We are in a whole New World now. Lets be blunt about it. These storms are coming more frequently. And more intensity. So theres no denying. These extreme storms in the Climate Crisis are here. So for the next 30 minutes, well discuss the future of our planet and ask the key question. Is this the moment that helps bring consensus on the Climate Crisis . Lets begin with meteorologist gene norman. Good to see you. Weve seen the destructive images, but what made ida so unique . Ida really underscores how Weather Patterns are changing in the Climate Crisis. Look at the gulf of mexico. Within the last three years, weve had three category four or five hurricanes. Michael in 2018. Laura last Year And Ida this past week. What made ida very unique is the impacts far from the coast as weve mentioned. It made the landfall but lingered across southern louisiana traveling slowly dumping nearly a foot and a half of rain and then propelled by upper Level System all the way up into the northeast spawning 21 confirmed tornadoes because of the upper Level Energy that it interacted with along with a stationary cold front. Now, we know because of our warmer atmosphere that the warmer atmosphere will hold more moisture and that will lead to increased rainfall. In fact, Take A Look at this. From Climate Central showing the increasing number of what are called excessive rainfall events. In other words, high oneday amounts. Its going up year by year and thats not good news, fred. Not just here in the united states but globally. Gene norman, thank you so much for that view. Lets talk further. Joining me now to discuss, john sutter, Baseline Documentary Series that focuses on the worlds Climate Crisis. John, so good to see you. Explain how Climate Change has evolved over time. Yeah, i mean, i think its kind of helpful to take a Long View of this. It can seem like, you know, you just talked about a lot as its happening now. Were now in the Climate Change era. The reality is weve known for a few decades the basics of this science and have seen Human Fingerprints showing up on storms the last couple of decades. As people couldnt to burn Fossil Fuels and burn up the atmosphere with heattrapping pollution. So this Isnt Something that just came upon us this summer or this hurricane season. Its something that weve been contributing to, really, since the industrial revolution, and i think finally coming to a head and people are waking up and realizing that the way we produce our energy, the way we power the global economy is contributing to these disasters that are both deadly and incredibly sev. Its not just extreme weather but wildfires, drought, power and energy, as you just mentioned. Is the Climate Crisis beginning to have more of a tangible impact on our daily lives . Yeah, i think people are noticing that more and more and i think that has been true for a number of years now. Theres this branch of Climate Science called climate Attribution Science and this work going on to sort of look for evidence of Human Fingerprints on these storms, right . Were they bigger, wetter, essentially more dangerous because of us and we know that answer is yes. Heat waves are becoming more intense. Thats problematic, even you mentioned wildfires. I live out in the west and if anyone out here knows that its just a feature of the summer now that during wildfire season, there are days where its unsafe to go outside and you essentially cant safely breathe the air. I think people are starting to realize that this is not a far away problem in terms of, like, another part of the world. Its not far away in terms of time. This is something that we are doing to ourselves now. And i think super importantly, were baking in a lot of massive changes for our kids and for future generations. And i think Thats Something that we need to really let sit on our shoulders as a moral responsibility we have to end the Fossil Fuel Era and therefore reduce the risks of these super dangerous storms and events. Its back to your first point. The Long View. It was a couple of decades ago where the warning signs were there and here we are now in that space. Who knows whats around the corner, but it doesnt sound good unless theres some real qualified change. So you have traveled all around the country studying the Climate Crisis. Youve seen the fires, youve seen the droughts, youve seen the storms. What is your message to those who, even today, even despite all of these images, still dont want to acknowledge that theres a problem . I mean, i think this is incredibly difficult and in the aftermath of a disaster like this and a hurricane like this, i think its important to just sort of be there for each other, know that were not alone, that people are all hopefully coming together facing the immediate sort of safety risks of a crisis like this, of a disaster like this. I think theres a time that comes later to sort of step back and try to connect these dots. And i think thats happening more and more, but it is incredibly frustrating, i think, to those of us Who Care a lot about Climate Change and climate policy, that there still remain these intense political divisions in the u. S. And i think its a lack of willingness to connect those dots and realize that we are super charging these storms. We are making these wildfires more dangerous. And the effects of the pollution we put into the atmosphere now matters, again, not just for us today but people hundreds if not A Thousand years from now. So i think thats getting through to people in a new way as disasters get worse but i find that incredibly sad, to be honest. We have the tools to fix this. Its a massive shift. Its getting off of Fossil Fuels. Its making the global Economy Carbon neutral by mid century but we have the Technology And Wherewithal to do that and i think that if anything good can come out of these storms, then i dont think theres much that is, i think its the realization that were out of time to deal with this. We have to make some major changes yesterday, and we do have the Ability And Technology to do that and i hope that people can hold on to that hope and realize that any of those changes that we make, make all of these events less risky, especially over time. Thats a powerful statement right there. You said there is some hope. We do have the tools to make change. Its the willingness, thats what weve got to find collectively. John sutter, thank you so much. All right, coming up. A democrat throws a major wrench in President Bidens climate agenda. Find out what congress is doing to address natural disasters.

The remnants of ida brought widespread Flooding And Devastation to the northeast and were seeing some stunning images like that one showing up just how powerful and unpredictable flash floods can be. This is video from the basement of a home in cranford, New Jersey. You can see the wall, well, you earlier you see a young man walking through and the wall behind him simply collapses like that. Water rushing into the home. The family was able to escape that frightening ordeal unharmed. Were now learning that President Biden will travel to New Jersey and New York on tuesday to survey Storm Damage from Hurricane Ida. This as the president is trying to move his agenda forward after a tough week but there could be a new Road Block from a member of his own party. West Virginia Senator Joe Mansion signaling he could threaten the razor thin democratic majority on the 3. 5 trillion spending bill. That bill contains much of Bidens Agenda to tackle Climate Change. Congressman raul rahalva, chair of the natural Resources Committee. Glad you could be with us. How concerned are you that Senator Mansion and other democratic moderates could derail the president s agenda as he tries to take on Climate Change . Obviously, concerned. Concerned because of the urgency thats before us. The Climate Crisis is at an urgent state. Scientists, meteorologists, et cetera, have been telling us, world organizations, the u. N. , our own academic and scientific studies, over and over again. As this crisis is looming upon us. Making a Blanket Statement about how much to include on reconciliation in the build back better agenda of biden and harris, i think is concerning. Yes, and i think youve got to accept this urgency and the fact were in a Climate Crisis no less. Is it your feeling that this reconciliation of Bidens Infrastructure Bill will indeed help address Climate Change . It is a huge historic Down Payment beginning to deal with the issue of Climate Change and the Climate Crisis before us. On a domestic scale and the ramifications worldwide because this is a worldwide issue. And youve gone from denial by my republican colleagues to now delays to minimize the investment we have to make going into the future and to minimize the urgency or the speed we need to undertake to make the transition to something sustainable and resilient in terms of our energy uses. The effect were having from plans and waters, 25 of the problem. We want to make it 25 of the solution with conservation and respond to the crisis of Climate Change. Ida and the devastation both human and every form. The mega drop in the basin states and the southwest and the west. The wildfires. Not just symptoms but a direct Cause And Effect of Climate Change and there is, in that bill, to recover and provide relief and to do Fire Suppression and deal with the consequences of these catastrophes for Human Life and for the country in general. But there also has to be, and thats what all the committees have working on, a look at the future, fredricka, about what this country is going to be like and the events were being asked to make. I hope republican colleagues dont win by attrition. Find the crisis in very deadly and ugly effects we see nationwide. And according to a Gallup Poll from earlier this year, theres a huge partisan divide when it comes to considering Climate Change to be a critical threat to this country. 86 of democrats say yes, but only 27 of republicans agree. So how do you get your message across so that there is a bipartisan consensus . I think Step Number one, and thats what the Resources Committee and every committee in the house of representatives democratic majority said we have there. Our job is to do the 3. 5 billion that we got from the senate and thats what were doing. And within that, responding to that Climate Crisis in a significant way. Thats our job. What the senate will get from the house is 3. 5 billion because that is the urgency. Many of us felt there should have been more. It was instructed by the senate, but thats not the case. So there is already a bipartisan agreement to move forward and i hope that the senators that are having second thoughts about the original bipartisan agreement reconsider because this is an urgency and its not just Climate Change. The ramifications from not doing anything. The cost to the american people is going to pale next to whats being proposed. Thank you so much for your time. Appreciate you joining us. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Meanwhile, on the world stage, john kerry, bidens president ial climate envoy, is pushing china to do more. But with relations between the u. S. And china at a low point, beijing is pushing back. Cnns Selina Wang has the story. Reporter fred, u. S. China Relations plunged to the lowest point in decades over human rights, Security And Trade and thats made it harder for the countries to cooperate on Climate Change. During John Kerrys Visit to china, chinese officials repeatedly said that Climate Cooperation Cannot be separated from worsening geopolitical ties. While kerry pressed chinese officials to be more ambitious and their plans to slash Greenhouse Gas emissions and move away from coal, chinese fi officials pushed back by asking what could be done about u. S. Sanctions. Two biggest emitters of Greenhouse Gases and hit home that its not an ideological or partisan issue. Both countries are already seeing the effects of climate disruption. The u. S. And china have both dealt with catastrophic Rain And Flooding this summer. Kerry has told chinese leaders that limiting global warming to 1. 5 degrees celsius, The Point at which scientists say the effects of Climate Change would be catastrophic and irreversible, requires a dramatic turnaround in chinas coal trajectory, but negotiating with china in the leadup to the u. N. Climate summit is a Balancing Act since china does not want to be seen as caving to the pressure of other countries. Fred . Thank you so much.

As the Cleanup And Recovery from Hurricane Ida continues, the Washington Post reporting today that one in three americans live in a county affected by a Weather Disaster just in the last three months. Hurricane Season Isnt even over yet. Joining us to talk about the storm and Climate Change is alice hill. She is the author of the new book the fight for climate after covid19 and shes also Senior Fellow for energy and the environment at the council on foreign relations. So good to see you. Also joining us, mitch el andrew, Cnn Commentator and former democratic mayor of New Orleans. So good to see you as well. This week, mitchell andrew, pending this Opinion Piece for cnn called from katrina to ida. What has louisiana learned . Welcome to both of you. Mayor, let me begin with you because here you are at an Effort Feeding people in New Orleans 16 years after katrina def devastated your city and you were not mayor at the time of katrina, but my goodness, is this eerily familiar or a completely different Scene Postida . I was a Lieutenant Governor at the time katrina hit. Weve had a number of other hurricanes and now ida. Were here with world central kitchen, a team of chefs around the world, Chef Andres and his team of chefs feeding people across louisiana who are Defe Destitute who are suffering because of ida. You have people in the west with wildfires, tornadoes in the heartland, so they have tons of weather events. Its eerily reminiscent katrina, it happened on katrinas anniversary. Alice, were hearing from a lot of scientists saying the window is closed in terms of what we could have done 10, 15 years ago to avert what were in right now. So what do you think needs to be done right now . How do we all need to be adapting . Fred, we absolutely need to make sure that every decision, every investment that we make considers the future risk of Climate Change. And that is just not happening at any Level Or Scale thats required. And thats what were seeing right now unfold. Of course we still need to cut the harmful Carbon Pollution to avoid the very worst of heating which will be extremely difficult if not impossible to adapt to. Mayor, when we talk about New Orleans, the leavees largely hed throughout ida, obviously it was the opposite for katrina. There is still the calamity of no power, 700,000 people with no power. Gas lines are blocks and blocks long, theyve run out of gas, people are in their cars to try to stay cool. I mean, this is a kind of parallel disaster, is it not . No, you dont have the flooding, but its miserable for people. Correct. Its an awful situation. And right now, as we talk about the long term effects or the short term effects of climate Change And Mitigation and what we have to do right now, people are in distress. The electricity needs to get back on. If its not back on, we need to get food, water, medicine to folks. If the electricity gets back on, folks can help. The levees did hold. It was a 14 Billion infrastructure improvement. The Homeland Security Response was much, much better because it was better coordinated. But as alice said, we have all of these things we know are coming our Way And Mitigation is just not good enough. Now we have to prepare. As we build back better, you have to build back stronger, you have to build back smarter, you have to be more resilient. The electric grid in this country is really, really weak. Notwithstanding the fact that this storm was a Mavis Ssive St it wasnt a big surprise that we had one. We actually have to get ready for what we know quite frankly is already here. And were not really doing that as well as we should. Alice, how do you see it, not just as it pertains to the electric grid, but brick and mortar, how do we need to be building in anticipation for what is around the corner . There are two series things we need to address. And the first is land use. More americans have moved into areas at risk. Flooding, coastal flooding, river flooding, and wildfire risk. So we need to think, do we really want a lot of new development in these areas we know will be hit harder and more frequently in the future . And the second, with all the development we have, we have to look at can we strengthen it, can we make it resilient to whats ahead . How do we look at our Building Codes to have a better future . If we spend a dollar in enforcing stronger Building Codes, we save 11. 65 of our counties do not have disaster resistant Building Codes today. Alice, do you believe its going to be wise to rebuild in the areas that we just saw devastated by flooding . Does it say something about the land, the topography, its fitness for graduating Climate Crises . Well, that will be the challenge here. Of course everyone wants to rebuild. And we understand Everyones Desire to get right back on their feet and back at living their lives. But as we see these impacts come in, there has to be a larger discussion about continuing to invest in areas that will ultimately be lost. That is a long Term Plan that we need to talk about in this country and that would require the federal government to develop an Adaptation Plan for the nation to help us identify those areas that are at greatest risks so we figure out how to help those people find a safer place to live and thrive.
