is coming through the ports of both of them, which is also moving those drugs into the rest of your life as well. and that is when we have time for new groups. and again, thanks so much for your company. and i'll see you next hour. the votes, people have to say the that's why we listen to based on the report every weekend on d, w, the,

your, and pacific. i mean, the end of this month, i know i've been coming up to the mountain since i was 8 or 10 years old. who said minus to be, i'm a, i used to take care of the cows up here with my sisters can kaitlin kaitlin. okay. but at this gorge looked very different back then at the there were more as a waterfall, says, god, and a lot more life in general, which we must be the the way to see. i know the we a is a catch will farmer and mountain guide in the 40 era, blanca, mountains and per room, the homeless liaison. here we are. part of this is link talk a quote, you 4550 meters above sea level of the glint,

the man the low. he could catch what we catch while, i believe so said we're an integral part of nature and then the to the next one to stay. and then one up here is where i dream. and then i can feel that the mountain is trying to tell me. so they, they said oliver, maybe it's spirits or energy, so i don't know so, but you can feel that something is here in is not the case of the lake. south dakota, the kitch was say, the lake is filled with tears from the 2 glaciers from the water that melts from the pole corrections on the left to go run, run on the right. let's have 30 that isn't declared authority. say there's a major threat to be as close to an avalanche could be triggered in the upper part

of the globe shot at the little glass you have. if a large block of vice would break off look and fall into the lake, it would result in a kind of so non and you know, yes the approval cutty own. uh well yeah. animal lynch? well they most bit as you can see, it's getting worse every month. every year the glacier retreats further disappearing before our very eyes and it is so lucky, but our community here is not to blame with that. it's painful. so something has to be done. this isn't, did the 3 step test as it did get dennis ski. i said i'll go a that's why i have decided to hold those who are actually responsible for the melting of the glacier. assume to account to the systems helpless content and go sideways this clearly. i feel it all began about 9 years ago on the banks of this lake. german climate experts came to assess

the damage. and so i had guided the one man in particular would change. so we'll slice kristof buys policy director of the german environmental organization german watch. together they began setting their sites on one of the big international emitters of greenhouse gases, the 11000 kilometers away from popular culture in western germany is a huge surface mine called got spinal to it covers more than 40 square kilometers and is 400 meters deep league night is mind here. the most polluting form of coal there is. it's burned and power plants to generate electricity.

r w e is among the largest producers of c o. 2 emissions in europe. dusty up these, this immense, uh, this vast pit where luke knight is being mind. phone quote is operated by energy giant r w e b. that is the basis for the great amount of emissions that are w e releases feed and m is the own. and the, and just a single company like r w e has produced more emissions than the entire country of peru. i gives us us because i'm salon, and yet peru is now much more severely affected by the climate crisis. then germany, for example, of somebody deutschland from that. and that's why i thought, well, has chosen precisely this company with these as europe's biggest emitter, to take responsibility within the past. and because of that, and that's what i was fighting for in court. so i always felt at least 2 or 2 kids . the

cell was not yet familiar with the gods. find that to mind when he and christopher came up with the idea of suing r w e in germany with funding from german watch the back in the room, we joined, made a celebrations in for russ this and the and city is where. so grew up. it lies 25 kilometers as the crow flies from poker. gotcha. flores has experienced several natural disasters, including a massive base quake in 1970, which kills more than 20000 people in the city. but few are aware of the threat to

zooming right now. up in the mountains, one exception is peruvian glaze. she ologist says our portal korea wrote wonder stance the dangers all to well that people that you can see all of the water under the weather. he lives in for us to monitor the glaciers last week of the news this on that give, this is the best vantage going to observe a large part of the card, yet a blank amount of stuff do. the lack of digital blank is our jew to global warming . that means over the last, last years at the cord, yetta have already had drunk by 45 to 50 percent said go go ahead and they seem guessing wind up. what's the in the quote just those 4 legs tucked the co chuck is lies at the end of that gorge. they're losing the lot or like if a major avalanche were to cause it to burst as defense. so that's what i mean. a

weak good for them. that's 20 to 30 meters height and put them in it. it would easily overcome any natural obstacle own legal if a fluid and the garbage and form a huge river between the time and in about half an hour or less from the on the way . maybe it would sweep up rocks, earth trees. by the time it reached the city, it would be 8 to 10 meters high, who would destroy everything in its path? is the thing, is that, but it would be a tragedy to ideas met true catastrophe is hook ups idea on this, these 2 film while you get on that, that i have not got best of it. the man, the and in fact it's happened before. back in 1941. according to some estimates, 2000 people were killed here. the

rare photos from that time show how one 3rd of the city was destroyed. one 3rd of the population was killed. for us was home to just a fraction of the 150000 residents. it has to date this folder was washed right into the city, testifying to the sheer power of the river. this one lies right in the central that's for us and serves as a memorial to the victims of the disaster of the we've arranged to meet. so here in the, near the path to his family home hugs the kill chi river which crosses the city from lake poke. i caught you if the lake for to burst its bags. it would flood this area. it's known to be

a danger zone in series. no one is allowed to build closer than 50 meters from the river bank. but when souls parents like many other poor farmers, came here looking for work in the 1980s they built wherever they could. like in wave of florida. this area is especially at risk at this uh and because my house just made it, i don't, my parents gave it to me, and my son and my nephews lived here as, let's go up to the 2nd floor. it is. the piece is the casa in this house, is that the center of my legal case in germany? sentato, because we're stating that this property is in danger. i believe you see if the waves swept through here, but they knew it would endanger my house. my son, my nephews, and also my neighbors. busted. i think the 50000 people would be affected for me

because they live in the floods patio. betsy knows so many innocent people with died that means been throwing us can meet and those people who are not responsible for climate change in the you know, send no sound responsibilities didn't come here. pretty much the so we'll have to talk at least argument to you. it was argument in court from which incidentally the court has accepted under getting to the is the climate change has the forwards the global neighborhood by the monsoon dc. a fine because the emissions that are released here effect the atmosphere just as much as they do in peru or elsewhere in the world. so you have had no damage to that then raises the temperatures and ramps of the risk. yeah, and that's why he's doing our w,

we'll get to get out of the, in the context of this global neighborhood robot. and it would be like throwing mode over your neighbors fence and destroying their house and the process on the afternoons on how to open up in the same way through the ends in the um, these are facing existential pressure and then get bearden and then and then their living conditions are under threat existence. you stop by on that. so he seeking to obtain a certain amount of protection from our w e. w. and give you some foot fun of the, the by of the, of the in the northern german city of hamburg by the headquarters of the attorney representing so german watch shows the big name to fight the case who death the highest. she's already won a number of high profile climate just as cases, including against the german government. this time she's defending david against go

by us. i have a social of so here i haven't seen him for a year. we were there last may. there he is at the glazed feel like i'm to mike lacy of kitchen. the odessa high in is spurred on knowing she is fighting for the future of the children and generations to come. even though r w e has no operations in peru, german lock and still be applied that some thoughts in germany, it's and couldn't paragraph 1004. it says this someone's behavior is disturbing me my legal position or my prophecy. then that disruption has to stop. in this case, the disruption is r o w s. historical emissions, which are ongoing and stopping that disruption in this case would be the prevention of the glass cl like boosting it's banks,

because that's the problem. and in this case, they don't have to be directs neighbors. it's sufficient that the disruption is suspecting. so is property in some way, even in directly out. even if i can find somebody i are the pivotal moment came in 2017. when so it will travel to the courthouse and the german city of hon. the media were waiting. the court was to decide whether so worst case was admissible. odessa high in was at his side when the ruling came back, said yes, the case is admissible. it was their 1st victory income, you know, i said we still have a long way to go, but this is the 1st step of the middle specialist. there's still a lot to do before we achieve the final victory of that, not as well that that'd be of us. then. the next step followed in

2022. in february, legal and climate experts arrive to collect evidence supported by would have the highest people who are affected by climate change should not stand without. right. and that's what i'm concerned with that many people think that they sound without rise. and as a, as a lawyer, i want to say, no, you're not without rice. the group of german experts made their way to like, poke up, catch up some where they are on behalf of the court, or are w e. others from so will defense team. their job was to assess the extent to which the city of, for us is actually at risk. the 1st of all. ok. just think what's your level?

okay. i think got a, this isn't working you. yep. well, i'm checking a lot. no, no. the edwin quoted box is an environmental engineer and works for the original government. the with this one is closed, the water is flowing there. depending on the water level, the siphons can be open or closed, or people will say it out of what the, the for the system also includes a 7 meter dike or lighter. it was all set up in the 1970s. it's designed to prevent the lake from over flowing. couple it will be noticed, you're not, but the regional government to install the system to drain the leak using these 10 pipe possessed a d. c, i used to allow this is to prevent the dice from giving way. if the water level gets too high, it is the water can be site and also if necessary for know that the games to

maintain a certain level. and they've heard any overflow during the valley on the other side, or to say that it's got a number one. basically the question is, how can we adapt to know? so that's what we all want to know. what was the name of springfield, minnesota? we've installed an early warning system, the 2nd with sensors and the sort of the are still on been in the case of an emergency. this antenna would receive a signal from lake poke a coach. i saw the impulse unit in that case. what the tip is back in choir russ. disaster management officials are constantly monitoring the lake. this is a system of your laptop and this is our side, early warning system on. on the nimble here you can see a real time video of the glacial lake public. i caught you on the call so we can

keep an eye on a to read. accommodate you will see i can move in meaningful is this in here? we record to lower occurrence when we meet the new recall. yes us and here we monitor the water level and not the new bill that will hold on. let me introduce you to our team and then how possible they are on duty around the clock or the, the, the, the not the nimble. so i got, i'll send you the, the always on today. she monitors the lake and intervenes in emergencies that look at the most of us that extend the aim is to detect whether the lake is in danger of overflowing. if so, we use this device to trigger sirens to warn everyone i want to say. let's see dana cadillac, and there are 10 sirens that strategic locations and critical areas. i mean fit in this one has to be because this activates a rapid response to limit damages. you meant that easy, read se, mainly the

while alverado keeps watch life and 4 runs, continues. the ever present threat is easily forgotten. but one man is always thinking about it. play, she ologist say sorry for to korea, wrote. he thinks the existing dike won't hold up for much longer then they move. in this plan, ethically seo link, we can see the current siphons in black, los as well as condo, but they are not to not use them because they can only lower the water level by

about 2 meters to fill them in the back at me for our project and visions construct tina canal to lower the water level by 20 meters per year and installing a $25.00 major dike back on the bank. them, it doesn't even have the less i with the current i just tiny dk, these just 7 meters and the, with the good in just a moment. and these are the bulk a co chunk. it's, it needs to be at least 25 meters high. quote to that is the solution. the single method there is a level the seal ship disaster strikes. the estimated damages would be $170000000.00 euros. the construction project would cost around $20000000.00, but it was never implemented. then then we'll get things that, that mean goes into there's a bunch of ability factor here that plays a major role. and that's covered to it's not just expect that people to move somewhere else, you buy and sell them, so you have to reduce the threat instead. and then we'll guess it is a way to see that building that should be done for at least 35. please feel legs using the caught you at a blank, a portable mendoza and then in the scene,

go level, nothing like what you did. i blank, sol wants r, w e to contribute to the cost. studies show the company has produced about 0.5 percent of global c o 2 emissions. since the industrial age sell wants r w e to pay 0.5 percent of the cost of making lake park a contract safe with r w ease annual net income of 3300000000 euros. that itself shouldn't be a problem. so the site could it face value? that means that the case is worth about $20000.00 euros. that's the cost we're looking at that could increase, but that much is definite. but in reality, the case has fall, gracious significance, which w e is of course well aware of. because if the gym and costs establishes that assume can be comfortable for climate change in this form that would pays the way. so many affected policies to bring for the claims may be in other countries too. it would set a precedent to die. i have

a son and his will not accept the dentist who are w. e was not willing to speak to us on camera, but sent us the statement by email. we have always been operating our plans and compliance with governmental permits. these permits include our c o 2 emissions. according to law, individual, the mentors are not liable for universally routed and globally effective process is like climate change. a w a stance would mean that because many a responsible no one is responsible and that's just wrong from a legal standpoint the we visit. so, in the small village of lupo, about 20 minutes, outside the city,

the only thing you check it out. this is my plot of land. and then you'll plant the mice. i grow corn, potatoes, and one of my 3 d. we also breed cows cheap and guinea pig glass with that's what my family and i lived from 10 to the left amelia, the

cells wife lou, the prepares dinner of with the produce from their small farm a couple of months that yeah, that was legal action up ended their family life. lydia was very unhappy when it all started for the people said, all sorts of things, but a sold me so they know they said sell wanted to sell the lake to build houses with the money in the loan, costing. gus, us,

me seeing i left here. yes. and i shouted at him, call it and asked him why he was doing all this uh but it keep better, keeps mitzy. there is a school, so i don't either, but now i don't care for me when the i've toughened up because i know that everything he's doing is exactly right. little by little. i've come to understand it. look we on the incandescent the right thing. see, pm is the at 1st the cameras and all that made me uncomfortable and he was always away. but later i felt proud of him you my cell is not alone and this fight. back in germany, young climate activists put the gods file of mine at the center of their battle against fossil fuels. swedish activist credit tuned berg also joined demonstrations against our w. these plans to expand the mind germany

plans to face out cool by 2030 but says it could be pushed back to 2033 if needed. but scientists say another decade of coal will notify the goals such by the parents agreement to limit global warming to 2 degrees above pre industrial levels. been that we're getting these and if so, wins against this energy giant doing that would send a very important signal that the days of our w, we use business model are coming to an end and soon and stop by at once. well, on the north and that signal would go out not just a r w, we emitted, but to all major emitters that extract coal natural gas or oil from the ground and sell it for fuel on so for. and if we want to survive together on this planet, it's a model that we need to end as soon as possible. this concept from what that is. so policy motors, pay for

these empty pool activists fighting against r, w e. so is the hero is fit uh so again, as i'd like to tell, so in other words, i'm a very grateful mind how i move by his commitment to the cause. i really hope he wins. they all, for the sake of him, with his case, he can prove that we are all deliberately connected. the environment belongs to all of us. aboard is the basis of all our lives as soon as i leaving school in latin on the signatures. and so i'd like to see thank you. so for your commitment of law, thank. thank you for your strength and your courage and sign. your fight inspires us to continue here on the ground. so together we can dismantle this fossil fuel system. the flag, the

when the demand 7 years since the case got underway and all the while the ice continues to mount. the disconnect here to see a 2 and 4 keep yes, i've made a little bit of difference. so i need like a grain of sand in the gears most at the stuff, or at least i've tried to a little bit of, but it's not enough noise. so if it's in the, the case of so well versus r w e is still ongoing. the german court could reach your building in 2024.

the kid jackie is changing 6 years ago. he said he can't get any was to, but he does guardians of truth. this time excel gen, this turned in dar meets the voices of the 3 tests. this also as the other one had to flee into as i knew the police would search my house. courageous people are trying to stem the turkish governments all sort. tammy calls us some kids, but really it's a crime is addressed. and the path of trying to fix responsibility for his action.

what about freedom of to print and freedom of expression? got ease of truth, dots march, 2nd on d, w. the donald trump. again, what fascinates his supporters and who are the jordan is young. religious in studies, political science, denial, i definitely always felt lonely as a child. and so it was good to just be around a community of people. i have the same belief as make good. chris is the president of a mental fabrication company in new hampshire. he says, donald trump is better for business. i just voted for president. good about. i feel damn good he's, he's my case school.
