In October, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that humanity has only a dozen years to mitigate climate change or face global catastrophe\u2014with severe droughts, floods, sea level rise and extreme heat set to cause mass displacement and poverty. But on Saturday, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Kuwait blocked language \u201cwelcoming\u201d the landmark <span class=\"caps\">IPCC<\/span>climate report. New studies show global carbon emissions may have risen as much 3.7 percent in 2018, marking the second annual increase in a row. A recent report likened the rising emissions to a \u201cspeeding freight train.\u201d We speak with Kevin Anderson, professor in climate change leadership at Uppsala University\u2019s Centre for Environment and Development Studies, and 15-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg about the drastic action needed to fight climate change and the impact of President Trump on climate change activism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"hidden-xs\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"transcript\" class=\"mobile_anchor_target\">\n<h5 class=\"transcript\">Transcript<\/h5>\n<div class=\"grey_description fine_print\">This is a rush transcript.
