International pop star and UNICEF Goodwill1 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。

"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 cyclone4 patterns have wrecked5 havoc6 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 malaria7 continues to spread while an astounding8 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 helping9 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 convene10 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.
