CNN 10 - January 28, 2018 | Why a U.N. report that 2016 was the warmest year on record | CNN Student
-
0:14 - 0:19Hi. I'm Carl Azuz for CNN 10. Give us 10 minutes,
we'll break down international news for you. -
0:19 - 0:22Thanks for watching this Thursday.
We're starting with report from the World -
0:22 - 0:27Meteorological Organization. It's part of
the United Nations that studies climate. And -
0:27 - 0:34it says that 2016 was the Earth's warmest
year on record since scientists started maintaining -
0:34 - 0:39temporary records in the 1880s.
Researchers say that 2016 was seven hundredths -
0:39 - 0:44of one degree Fahrenheit warmer than 2015.
That was the previous record holder. -
0:44 - 0:49The U.N. organization says it used several
sources like NASA, to come up with its data, -
0:49 - 0:55though one of them, the United Kingdom's Met
Office says the temperature increase it measured -
0:55 - 1:00was within its margin of error, according
to the BBC. So, the record is not certain -
1:00 - 1:03across all measurements.
One big factor in the warm temperatures was -
1:03 - 1:09a powerful El Nino, a natural warming of Pacific
Ocean surface temperatures that affected the -
1:09 - 1:15climate from 2015 to 2016. But a scientist
from NASA says greenhouse gas emissions, which -
1:15 - 1:20are given off by human activity, are responsible
for warming temperatures in the long-term. -
1:20 - 1:26Because of the recent El Nino event has subsided,
scientists do not expect 2017 to break a new -
1:26 - 1:30warming record.
Yesterday afternoon, U.S. President Barack -
1:30 - 1:34Obama gave his final news conference while
in office. It was likely the last time he'd -
1:34 - 1:39speak in public as president.
A lot of subjects were covered, increasingly -
1:39 - 1:44strained U.S. relations with Israel and Russia,
the relationship between the White House and -
1:44 - 1:49the media, a recent move to reduce the sentences
of more prisoners than any other U.S. president. -
1:49 - 1:53It all came up.
And President Obama was asked about his successor, -
1:53 - 1:58President-elect Donald Trump, and some of
the controversies he's been involved in. The -
1:58 - 2:02outgoing leader said he and the incoming one
had had constructive and sometimes lengthy -
2:02 - 2:07conversations. But Mr. Obama said the best
piece of advice he could give to Mr. Trump -
2:07 - 2:12was to rely on others around him, as the presidency
isn't a job that anyone can do alone. -
2:12 - 2:21I believe in this country. I believe in the
American people. -
2:21 - 2:31I believe that people are more good than bad.
I believe tragic things happen. I think there's -
2:31 - 2:37evil in the world. But I think that, at the
end of the day, if we work hard and if we're -
2:37 - 2:45true to those things in us that feel true
and feel right, that the world gets a little -
2:45 - 2:50better each time.
That's what this presidency has tried to be -
2:50 - 2:55about, and I see in the young people I've
worked with. -
2:55 - 3:00At my core, I think we're going to be OK.
We just had to fight for it. We have to work -
3:00 - 3:04for it, and not take it for granted. And I
know that you will help us do that. -
3:04 - 3:11Thank you very much, press corps. Good luck.
Ten-second trivia: -
3:11 - 3:16In terms of when it gained independence, which
of these countries is oldest? Austria, Morocco, -
3:16 - 3:24Brazil, or Switzerland?
The -
3:24 - 3:29Swiss Confederation got its independence from
the Holy Roman Empire in 1499, making it the -
3:29 - 3:37oldest independent nation on this list.
Every winter, there's an international meeting -
3:37 - 3:42in Davos, Switzerland, the World Economic
Forum. It's an organization that includes -
3:42 - 3:47politicians, businesspeople, scholars, sometimes
actors, basically movers and shakers. They -
3:47 - 3:52aimed to improve the world by addressing issues
like poverty, conflict and the global economy. -
3:52 - 3:57But the event has also been criticized as
an elitist meeting that does more talking -
3:57 - 4:00than actual problem-solving.
Either way, the meeting that's going on right -
4:00 - 4:06now is looking at the uncertainty of the year
ahead, like an investor or a skier might look -
4:06 - 4:14at risk and then try to minimize it.
2016 was a year of surprises. The word here -
4:14 - 4:18in Davos is that 2017 could present similar
challenges. -
4:18 - 4:22So, what are some of the risks facing the
global business community? Something that -
4:22 - 4:28could take a nice outing and turn it into
an injury, steady growth into a global recession? -
4:28 - 4:33As the political and business elites gather
here in Davos, 2017 could shape up to be a -
4:33 - 4:44year of extreme risks, and here are the biggest:
U.S. going off the path and into the trees -
4:44 - 4:49where there's less visibility.
All eyes, if you will, will be on President -
4:49 - 4:54Trump. Will he blaze his own trail when it
comes to trade? U.S. involvement within the -
4:54 - 4:59NATO alliance, and how about the U.S., for
example, in the Middle East? -
4:59 - 5:05How about Chinese moguls? Economic relations
with Beijing are always a little bit bumpy. -
5:05 - 5:13How tough will the moguls get this year?
Europe potentially going off a cliff. -
5:13 - 5:20One major obstacle here in Davos is the widening
gap between the rich and the poor, and the -
5:20 - 5:24resentment that's creating within the European
Union. There are major elections this year. -
5:24 - 5:29France, Germany and the Netherlands, and the
results could push Europe over the political -
5:29 - 5:41cliff (ph).
So, I've chosen the ultimate route, slow and -
5:41 - 5:46steady, hard work but less risky, with the
ultimate goal of avoiding disaster in 2017. -
5:46 - 5:47These are crashes are helping researches make
drones safer. -
5:47 - 5:48These experiments are helping predict injuries
caused by drone collisions. -
5:48 - 6:08Dummies are rigged with sensors that measure
the force of a crash. -
6:08 - 6:57And determine if a collision will cause a
neck or brain injury. -
6:57 - 6:58The research is key for drone regulation in
the U.S. -
6:58 - 7:01Researchers are hoping to make drones safer.
Facing challenges concerning military conflicts, -
7:01 - 7:06political opposition, foreign and domestic
criticism, security threats, not to mention -
7:06 - 7:11governing a country, it is no wonder why the
American presidency is said to cause people -
7:11 - 7:16to age faster, at least physically. But does
that necessarily mean that U.S. leaders live -
7:16 - 7:22shorter lives than the rest of us.
It's that time again. Time for news organization -
7:22 - 7:28to roll out those before and after photos
to show how much our departing president has -
7:28 - 7:34aged. It's been dubbed "the White House effect"
and it usually involves wrinkles and white -
7:34 - 7:40hair, or as Michelle Obama puts it --
My very own silver fox. -
7:40 - 7:45Maybe you've heard there's a formula for presidential
aging. -
7:45 - 7:49A typical president ages two years for every
year they're in office. -
7:49 - 7:55And there really is one reason, it's the stress.
No, it's not true. They do not age at twice -
7:55 - 8:01the normal rate.
Longevity expert Professor J. Olhansky disputes -
8:01 - 8:05Dr. Michael Roizen's formula.
Perhaps the graying of the hair and wrinkling -
8:05 - 8:09of the skin may grow more rapidly as a result
of stress, but it's certainly not shortening -
8:09 - 8:13their lives.
Professor Olhansky says research shows presidents -
8:13 - 8:19live way longer than regular citizens. Sure
presidents look like they're going downhill -
8:19 - 8:22in photos.
But guess what? If you take a picture of anybody -
8:22 - 8:26eight years apart, you're going to see the
same changes in the rest of us as you see -
8:26 - 8:28in the presidents.
MOOS (on camera): Really? -
8:28 - 8:32So what?
That's me eight years ago. Do you think the -
8:32 - 8:37grueling life of a TV humor reporter has taken
a toll? -
8:37 - 8:42Wonder how long it will take 70-year-old Donald
Trump's hair to change shades once he's president. -
8:42 - 8:47Though Michelle Obama seems immune from the
White House effect -- -
8:47 - 8:53The only way to date her in photos is by looking
at me. Here we are in 2008, here we are a -
8:53 - 8:58few years later and this one is from two weeks
ago. -
8:58 - 9:04So, in all fairness, how about the aging of
a CNN STUDENT NEWS and now, CNN 10 anchor? -
9:04 - 9:10Is age just a number? Certainly, an age old
question, which is itself a popular adage. -
9:10 - 9:14Whatever you think, the only thing I'll tell
you about my own age is the same truth I would -
9:14 - 9:18have told you eight years ago -- I'm older
than your brother but younger than your dad. -
9:18 - 9:22Spend another 10 minutes with us tomorrow.
We've got a special edition set up looking -
9:22 - 9:28at the U.S. presidential inauguration, specifically
the all-important oath of office. I'm Carl Azuz.
