How An Astronaut Saw This Year's Climate Disasters From Outer Space

The massive storms, and the forest fires. I have never seen anything like it, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet said.

From his perch 400 kilometres above Earth, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet has had a unique perspective on the climate-fuelled natural disasters that have swept the planet over the past six months.

Pesquet recently finished up his second mission at the International Space Station, an experience that made him appreciate Earth's fragility like never before.

He spoke to AFP ahead of the UN climate summit kicking off on October 31, sharing his hopes and fears for the planet.
