Summary

Global warming is happening faster than we previously thought. The extreme weather conditions have been intensifying over the years as fatal floods occur in Germany and China, wildfire rages in California, and apocalyptic scenes of Greece with thousands forced to flee the burning infernos. Alok Sharma, the British government’s climate chief discusses the urgency of battling climate change. With sea levels rising fast, we speak to Katie Orff, a landscape architect on the desperate need to, “hit the reset button if we want nature to come back.” Also, how many emails have you received today? We speak to author Cal Newport on his new book, “A World Without E-mail.” Finally, Prince drops a new album, ‘Welcome 2 America.’ Christiane speaks with Van Jones who worked at the White House during the Obama administration and later became a close friend and adviser to Prince.
