A charity is warning that the biggest health threat to children in the twenty first century is global warming.
Save the Children says that up to a quarter of a million children could die in the next year because of the effects of climate change.
The musician Midge Ure, who co-wrote the Band Aid single "Do They Know It's Christmas" 25 years ago, travelled to Ethiopia with his daughter recently to see how changes in the climate have caused food shortages there.
The Save the Children ambassador and two-time Ivor Novello award winner spoke to Channel 4 News.
