This is what I'm most worried about it in the fundamental issue Stephen one and one that I really wasn't aware of before. Coming into this job is that the earth is fundamental handling water different. The jetstream has changed. That you that the the -- -- Nina when -- Nina effects. Are changing. That well race here now all the time well I mean this -- most of the time where this is this is this is -- reason this is one of the recent findings is that the very wet Summers are related two. The way that the earth is handling what are differently. What some of the pilot and I say is how can you tie in particular.

On behalf of our children but it's not just on behalf of our children and just give you an example. In my twenties by the 2030 or 4040. If we get to two degrees Celsius. Bangkok could be underwater right so if you Steve were planning to retire and then cup which is a great place. You have to rethink your plans.
