MSNBC Reporter: I Don’t Think U.N. Climate Report Will Mean Much to a Lot of People

EXCERPT:

BRADLEY: “This report doesn’t go into details about what needs to be done. That gets kicked down the road until next year when another hugely authoritative report is going to come out that's going to describe in greater detail what nations need to do and what the effects of climate change are going to be doing in the medium and near term. But you know professor I really don’t think that this report is going to mean much to a lot of people. I think that what's going to mean most are some of those images that you’re probably seeing on your screen right now, the massive forest fires that have been sweeping through Greece, Turkey, and the U.S. The flooding that we’ve seen in China and in Central Europe over the past summer. We’ve seen soaring temperatures, scorching fields of agriculture, these are the things, really immediate, obvious things that can be caught on television cameras like ours that will really change people’s minds, not the boring details in these reports. As menacing as they are to you and I I think a lot of this is going to have to come down to people seeing the damage themselves, feeling it on their skin and demanding action from their leaders.”
