say to really know someone you must walk a mile in their shoes al-jazeera shares personal journeys of people following their chosen path quickness on al-jazeera. the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change was born for humanity just 12 years to avoid the plunge of trust with governments having failed so far to take effective action to come by global warming many and are looking to science and technology to come up with ways of bringing temperatures under control but what kinds of solutions being devised and how effective could they be reporter eric campbell has been finding out.
7:22 am
we start our journey in a city moving on from carbon. few places are as eager as copenhagen to get power from wind and even in this weather from sun. no way this plane came into a ditch cars that parks. klaus bonded is director of the danish cyclists federation and a former mayor of the city. he's leading its push to be the 1st carbon neutral capital by 2020. i do believe that there is
7:23 am
a strong political consensus in denmark that we need to act it's pretty cold right now but we have an extremely hot shot it didn't rain for 2 and a half months here. and then i think this is why is there something going on. and i think we have to realise that something is going to. copenhagen has been breaking all records in traditional ways to clean air. that according to this latest 1631 box of cross this bridge this morning alone in the past year it's been 3519062 it's extraordinary but the problem is no matter how much we ride them or how much we recycle the matter how fast communities transition to renewables it's probably not going to be faster now because governments aren't meeting the commitments they made at the paris climate change conference to cut emissions the politics are failing which is why there's now such
7:24 am
an urgent push to try a new technology to experiment with things that sound like science fiction but cook with the only way to ensure a secure future is a fact. the warning was sounded in october body i.p.c.c. the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change which are working long leading scientists say carbon needed to be almost half to from 2010 levels to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. otherwise runaway temperatures were destroyed by right ballio reef droughts and hurricanes would become the norm milty are sheets would flood major cities. but our sky mythologised jason box a former leader all fit to be i.p.c.c.
7:25 am
says even that won't be enough. it's frightening and i'm sorry to say this but that one and a half to greece global warming we still have like 2 and a half to greese of summer arctic warming and that pushes greenland beyond its threshold of viability so we still lose greenland but at a slower rate. based in copenhagen he measures our street treat for the geological survey of denmark and greenland. when we lose the reflective cover of the arctic sea ice and when we lose the greenland ice sheet and the climate system globally unravels and and it's going to create the kind of problems that will make it pretty hard to govern society. the migrations the droughts so what's at risk here is is
7:26 am
practically civilization. coral professor bob shares the frustration of all scientists contributing to the i.p.c.c. see the. evidence gathered through years of painstaking field work is often. north by politicians. politicians from governments that dismiss i.p.c.c. reports that's not conservative it's not progressive certainly it is insanity . he fears the world will need massive technological fixes called geo engineering literally read engineering be good if you just hold back what's coming. for example we can slow down melting of the antarctic ice by piling up sand on the sea floor simply to block a warm currents that are already destabilizing the whole west antarctic ice sheet.
7:27 am
other id's include covering oceans with iron filings to encourage carbon e.g. plankton. sending ships around the world to pump seawater mist into the sky to diffuse the sun's writings we have some ideas and we need to try several technologies and evaluate them and figure out which are the least risky etc 2 to get the carbon curve which is like this now to get it negative. and that all needs to happen in the next. 1020 years to start down that path it's extremely ambitious . the idea of geo engineering has excited by scientists and industry. on the other side of copenhagen i've come to meet a prominent political scientist dr. he did it by using lots and lots of coal he's a favorite commentator in conservative media for argument against major cuts to
7:28 am
fossil fuels and i would say look if you say to people there is another solution yes it is going to take the attention somewhat away from the original solution but we should also be honest and say we've tried the 1st solution namely ask people. could you please use the car less could you please use less energy could you please turn off your lights and it's not work for 30 years and actually there is about half a planet who's waiting to get more energy availability why do we talked of them except that fossil fuel emissions are warming the planet he just thinks geo engineering will cool look much faster than switching to review. because it's so cheap it's very likely to happen sooner or later some indian billionaire or some saudi billionaire is going to do it all by themselves just turn it down a little bit to pre-industrial temperatures or wherever we decide to to have it and that would be essentially avoiding a large part not all but
7:29 am
a large part of the global warming problem. so what are the most likely fixes and would they really work most of these globally ambitious projects are still on the drawing board but one surprising new technology is up and running in a place generally seen this need to retrieve. it strongly now whom of persuasion innovation. from swiss watches that never lose time just with i mean i was in a country permanently good piece. small company here with 0 believes it's found what could be a big part of the solution to problems. christoph cabal to spark a ph d. students when they decided to form a world changing company. tonight they're celebrating clime works 9th anniversary
7:30 am
so we're still not making money so of course money is not the motivation the money ration as solving a big challenge and there is probably as little as challenging as climate change. this illusion is building giant for. hands that draw in air and bind carbon molecules of the filters. the carbon free air is released back into the atmosphere the c o 2 is super heated and collect this gas i like to call it low tech not high tech and it's actually very simple the challenging part is making it work and making it cheap. in just 2 years they've opened the plants in switzerland icelandic italy. they believe they could remove 10 percent of the carbon the i.p.c.c. wants cuts. their 1st target is one percent by 2025.
7:31 am
it's like 300000000 tonnes of c o 2 and that we're require a quarter 1000000 machines. but in this developmental stage removing just one tonne of carbon costs at an economical $600.00 us dollars we are confident that in the next 2 to 3 years we will have our cost and the ranch off 2 to $300.00 per tonne and the mid to long term and that's for us 2025 to 2030 and we see cost as $100.00 as feasible. so the big question is what do you do with all this captured c o 2 well fortunately in this case there's a greenhouse just 300 meters away so half of the carbon sucked in the ferns it's piped underground of the greenhouse and turns into vegies. plants absorb carbon so the greenhouse buys the gas this fertilizer.
7:32 am
since it started spraying crop production is increased by 10 percent. the quicker the process can turn a profit the more likely it is to spread round the world. even in frosty switzerland there's a real sense of. urgency about limiting global warming. i came here for the mountains to climb to ski and in the alps you could see very early signs of climate change and of course closures are disappearing like we want to stop that if with and without climate change but the speed of disappearance is shocking. how tree hofstetter from the world wildlife fund took us out to see the disappearing place in. the
7:33 am
alps a bore me more than twice as fast as the rest of europe over some of it was president to drown. yeah that's really special for us to farmers don't know disadvantaged yet. the grass stopped growing state there is a shortage. they actually started to slaughter their cows much earlier. after it does so there really dry summer i can feel a renewed sense of urgency especially also because the farmers now i don't really accept that they are directly affected by it. 3 hours from superrich we come to what used to be the start of the giant major rochdale i see. the result of the traffic. 150 years ago the place they came up to here.
