We are also enhancing our pumps and drainage systems so that we can get water away more quickly and keep the infrastructure working. lilli matson, thank you forjoining us on this edition of weather world. one of the biggest storms to hit the uk in 2021 came at the end of november, as storm arwen brought damaging winds of up to 98mph. falling trees caused widespread disruption, with this one narrowly missing a drinker as it crashed into the back of a pub in wales. tens of thousands of trees came ...

Carbon, its like visiting a different planet. no—one seems to worry about climate change. even shifts in the rock dont bother the miners. this is a way of life and a mainstay of the economy. coal is the dirtiest fuel, but theres still demand for it. this is a reality of life for thousands of miners in poland, and because the coal—mining industry is so important to the economy here, it looks set to last for decades, whatever climate scientists and environmental activists want to see happen. o...

And because the coal—mining industry is so important to the economy here, it looks set to last for decades, whatever climate scientists and environmental activists want to see happen. oil is also driving up global temperatures and its also booming. global demand keeps rising. the company running these pumps in california refused to let us in, so we took to the air. this field has been producing for more than a century, and whenever anyone thinks it might run dry, someone comes along and either...

We do need to make sure our assets, our transport system, but all of londons infrastructure is ready to cope. in terms of infrastructure, though, everything is so built up, both above and underground, close to the tfl system. you must be limited to what you can do. there are real constraints in london. so much of the land is paved and we are losing more land to paving as people pave over their front driveways and all of that. so we are trying to work against that by putting in place what we call...

Wholesale cost reflected more fairly at the pumps. it is only fair to drivers that that is the case. nobody should be paying more than they need to be. and we are saying to the government to look into this. we urge the government to urge the retailers to bring the price down. we need greater transparency at the pumps and we would like to see that happen. if the government wants to get involved in that, that can only be a good thing. you get involved in that, that can only be a good thing-— get...

The market is fair. we need more transparency within the market because drivers are probably unaware of how much everything costs and how much they pay at the pumps. it would be nice to see more transparency, but for now, we are urging retailers to do the right thing. the problem we have is that whilst wholesale costs fell in late november and december, they have started to rise again. so the period now for those cuts to be implemented at the pumps is fast dwindling because the wholesale prices ...

>> they had vegetables i used to make for dinner, i noticed they did go up a dollar or two. single, double serving. so it is noticeable. >> reporter: noticeable to seemingly every american consumer. the labor department has just reported consumer prices were up 7% in december from a year earlier. the biggest one-year spike in prices in almost 40 years. >> you go to the grocery store and you reach for something, and you go, my goodness, this is much more than i used to pay for. >> the typical ame...

That means that when we introduce new shrubs, new trees into our paving, that actually helps slow down the rainfall, so, there are things we can do. we are also enhancing our pumps and drainage systems so that we can get water away more quickly and keep the infrastructure working. lilli matson, thank you forjoining us on this edition of weather world. one of the biggest storms to hit the uk in 2021 came at the end of november, as storm arwen brought damaging winds of up to 98mph. falling trees c...
