凯蒂・佩里发布人为气候变化播报视频

International pop star and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Katy Perry has released a special report on man-made climate change -- and it's likely way hotter than you expect.

近日,国际流行歌星、联合国儿童基金会亲善大使凯蒂·佩里发布了一段关于人为气候变化的特殊播报视频——全球气候可比你想象的要热多了。

 
In a mock TV news bulletin, the "Hot and Cold" singer shines a spotlight on the devastating effects extreme weather patterns are having on millions of children around the world.
 
"As a California Girl, I'm not the only one experiencing drought," the superstar says.
 
Wearing a red suit reminiscent of "Anchor Man" character Ron Burgundy, the songstress takes viewers on a 60-second global tour, beginning in the Philippines, where tropical cyclone patterns have wrecked havoc on the region.
 
From there she goes to Bangladesh, where flooding has left millions of children and families without homes.
 
In East Africa, mosquito-borne malaria continues to spread while an astounding 800 children die by the disease every day, she notes.
 
"And the forecast is: conditions will worsen," Perry somberly concludes.
 
"Let's encourage our world leaders to take this issue seriously," she said in a release accompanying the video. "Share your story on how you are helping reduce climate change with the hashtag #FightUnfair. Together we can help change the forecast for millions of children."
 
The report's jarring findings are among UNICEF's latest report on climate change, released in November.
 
The video's release on Sunday comes as world leaders convene in Paris at COP 21, the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties. There, more than 190 nations have gathered to discuss a potential new global agreement on climate change.
