on the little of march 2020, the world health organization announced we have rung be on our bill loud and clear . we were in the grid of the 1900 pandemic. we cannot say these loudly enough or clearly enough or often enough. all countries can still change the course of this fund to make the global reaction with that a scale wave rarely seen before. governance responded with a mix of chaotic politics and politicize came within the some countries managing to put a method to the madness. regardless of how they got a significant number of countries went into look down with some cities and regions being put into actual florentine. it was funny how such wide range and policy measures were brought into effect in such a short space of time. especially when you consider that the decades has been a much bigger, more threatening,
4:35 am
more long running crisis needing urgent global action. the 1st thing i'd say is that the climate crisis such that it makes the cobra 19. pandemic mean judgment. beer is a british journalist and activist whose focus is on the state of the climate. and so much bigger, it is so much more threatening to us, not least because it threatens our food supplies. this is something we're discussing thought to listen. but besides, it's pretty clear that between 3 and 4 degrees centigrade of global heating about pre industrial levels, we go into massive net food deficit, structural i mean, where crucial bread baskets can turn into dust phones. this is genuinely threatening to the survival of humanity. and if we think people fighting the toilet
4:36 am
paper in the supermarkets look ugly, you know, i really, really hope we don't need to witness people fighting over food. since the pandemic was announced in lockdown to began, george has been pointing out the connection between the climate crisis and the jew health and economic crises that we are facing right now. one of the main link points to the subject, he came back to repeatedly during our interview capitalism. i think there are 3 fundamental problems that are not compatible with the long term survival. a few minutes. one is that it relies for the parents press on actual economic credit, which would be fine. it's kind of growing at the same rate. but if we were to follow the prescriptions of the world bank of the dean where we maintain a steady track of 3 percent growth doesn't sound like very much. that means it doubled in just 24 years and then doubles again and 48. yes. for all ready,
4:37 am
we've gone beyond the limits, the final pay. the 2nd problem is this extraordinary belief that the numbers in your bank account are quite to a right to natural. well, what possible connection is that between those numbers in a bank account and the right to an attractive land or a private jet that's going to pollute a certain amount of atmosphere or to buy blueprint units to she'll to handle your for home in mahogany. because in all those cases, you are taking away natural well from someone else. and the 3rd one is that capitalism promise. this is all private luxury. that's why you go along with it. because one day we'll get to where all temporarily embarrassed millionaires and they can't possibly fulfill it. if it did, you would trash our entire life support systems. the all sustainable exploitation

of nature has a direct connection to the health crisis when are facing just months into the lockdown officials from the u. n. w h o and world wildlife fund. all stated that the illegal was like trade and deforestation were driving forces behind the increasing number of so called the nordic diseases, illnesses like the current of ours that have leaped from wildlife to human themes. they staged from what we know to have spread as a result of the wildlife trained as a result of people mopping up rad wildlife. from around the world, you brought humans into contact. close contact with species had never been in close contact before. i 1st became aware of this 30 years ago when i lived in the amazon and every so often they'd be an outbreak of rabies always deforested enters. and the reason for that was that the vampire bats should be feeding on close to monkeys . in the tree, tops in the canopy came down to us,
4:39 am
and the trees were found sun feeding on people instead. and people terrified the outbreaks. rabies rampaging trays without proper health care, and so large numbers of people, diet, and that piqued my interest in how destruction of nature can lead to destruction of people. george isn't exaggerating here. according to recent reports from the world wildlife fund, approximately 60 to 70 percent of the new diseases that have emerged in humans over the past 30 years, have had to do nordic origin. h i. v in speaker emerged through primates, bowler and saws from bats. this was traced back to camels, and in the case of bird flew, will the answers in the name. the birds are primarily industrial, farmed, poultry. all of these diseases spread to humans from animal populations under conditions of considerable environmental pressure. ileana broom is a brazilian generalist and filmmaker who lives in the heart of the amazon in brazil . the finance made which must i'm slipping when things were stamped my are looking

through my screen with mercedes medical don't they seem to be the one we just need the oh boy, the book to the flip car it is no. they kept the fast because we're going to do, you know, with a man thing, greg. just see the views. no, no else the oven message is clear, glycerin left to nature, the more environmental problems including you did lease nurses there will be. but elio news focus is not just on the plant and animal life that has been destroyed. her point is there are communities of people who can have a net positive effect on the world. and even those people are at risk from an economic ideology of relentless growth and the destruction associated with it is to 5 to 5 different fluid asked to flip foot

versus the life in jesus. it doesn't make sense. any mind middle name, no matter what. if the god and most of the modeling them, i think i'm not 50 which be for me. he suspense. and he's more ellis, strong, just released back to this the human economy is a subsystem of the natural ecos here. and the only thing that enables it to grow is its continuous capacity to extract resources and energy from the rest of the sphere . ill means is a professor of human ecology. he has a compelling way of describing the human takeover of the planet. if we went back
4:42 am
10000 years to the down of the biomass, sure weight of human beings constituted far less than one percent of the total bio massive mammals on earth. today humans are now 32 percent or 34 percent. but if we had our mystic animals, cattle sheets, biggs, and so on, that's another 60 plus percent. so in total owners today, human beings and their domestic stock are somewhere between $95.98 and a half percent the told them a 1000000. so wild nature has been displaced to the tiny fringes. one of the markers of the human impact on the planet is something with come to know as carbon footprint, the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions. however, there's also something known as the ecological footprint, a concept co developed by bill that compares the total natural resources consumed by an individual group against the plan, its ability to renew it. if you look at the ecological footprint of any advanced,
4:43 am
highly populated rich country, they are in a state of ecological. so if everyone live the way people do it would require the capacity of say, 3 plan of or if everyone live the way we do, on average in canada, we need the bio capacity for 5 senators and we don't have them. we can only live this way because we are effectively x over exploding in the global common europe included a century ago has not been for the capacity to import resources. ready and from the colonies, the ecological footprint, so the rich, very rich, a thousands of times greater than the average. we can have great public improvements and public tennis courts and public art galleries and museums and playgrounds and parks. but if everybody tries to do it for themselves, then in my country london recover off of england,
4:44 am
england would cover half of europe and you're covered all well. they wouldn't even be physical room for everybody to live, let alone the ecological space. being able to measure environmental impact has been crucial, not only to help identify which human activities, communities, and countries bear, the biggest responsibility for climate hom, but also to understand the populations that bear the biggest brought to the do a paper published in the science and medical journal, the lancet in september 2020. so to quantify national responsibility for climate breakdown. the findings indicated that high income country, most of them, among the most industrialized nations in the global north, were responsible for 90 percent of exits, emissions. thing we cause nature chief, keep practically the 2 mach gone to the main feature in nazi will ask emigration each unit will keep last mill stems the my,
4:45 am
my would keep my key to you. if you got the back will be margin is mac. who is the what key would be to ship boston main? she'll be to andy polk at the soviet. nope, no, i have sister maf multiple as well. they might not. i mean it could be yeah. sister don't was my law, but if you made with some live a tv it was yes them based will medical directly march at the they will die. the coffee back in march. as the enormity of the close crisis was becoming clear. i for this tweet from a climate change activist, it said if the media covered the climate crisis, the way they are covering corona vars constantly and thoroughly than the public
4:46 am
would be awake to the crisis and the whole world would be mobilizing to stop it. like folks have said, climate change needs to hire could 19th publicist. i asked georgian elliana what they thought of this. it's a really interesting thought and quite a clever and cheeky, ready to put it. it has to be said 1st off, and all the governments communication and career virus has been really, really bad, really minister going to a bit of a model when else to explain what his new laws actually were. it's, it's, it's 6 in 6 in hospitality but got the, started not the corona virus kind of does it. 10 communication issues. it's own warnings and says, right, you've got to wash your hands. you've got to practice physical distance thing. you've got to do all the things which this virus demand, so that becomes an imperative topical deed, no edgy, edgy march. and we actually won the source
4:47 am
also had dr. kwan dice clinical 2nd call me when the school called the bank, they found this can't get him do this or is know based on what he is. no. think if you loose which john try to keep them academically much. yeah. government have been forced to step up and have been forced to tell us what to do. and i think now they need to tell us to do with comic breakdown and oh, very well saying we're building new, we're apples, but please don't fly. and we encourage you to close, but please minimize your material footprint. i mean, the messages are just so confused. all you end up with is cognitive just the
4:48 am
drastic response demanded by clifford inadvertently gave us a glimpse of what we thought serious and somewhat sustain change could look like. as the virus spread around the world of trouble granted, hope ca trips was significantly cut back into through manufacturing dipped. and yet daughter in june revealed only a 5 percent lower emissions rate than at the same point in 2019. even though normal activity has not yet fully restarted the target, we need to hit to that the climate catastrophe predicted by the un back in 2018 is an emissions reduction of 7.6 percent. so our unexpected experiment in reducing our ecological impacts has revealed the sheer extent of the changes that have to be made for the health of the planet. but as governments address the economy fall out of the pen, demik, environmental laws and regulations across many countries being weakened or torn down at an alarming speed. this was particularly evident in the united states when
4:49 am
limit from pollution and carbon emissions were lifted. and in brazil, where there was a surgery executive acts by president jabal scenario. not just you, both from out of the need to talk to check. did you feel she's good enough? so now she's saying to fit it out, she's going to tell me on being y'all, miss day, i'm by lace that any image of the book is lot of the admiral, buddy rap protege as well. plus finding jesus bakovich march. it will make it simple coming. i think was gonna let us get some flat, but on the floor asked though, just the door is no farther home. if you think of what's been happening in brazil, the destruction of the amazon, the abandonment of environmental regulations increased before a station of the one of the most bio diverse habits on the planet. it's a travesty
4:50 am
a gauge of human kind. but it's not that much different from what goes on in every other capital on earth, where governments are beholden to this. we're going to build this economy back bigger, better, stronger we're backing business to get through this to come out the other side and grow in the future. and we want to make sure that we get the economy going strongly . we want to get consumer spending again. what everyone talks and we're getting back to normal. we talked about getting back to the 2 percent annual growth that minimally acceptable international basis to 3 percent growth. that's the only acceptable for the world as a whole, those prescriptions for the continuous scouring. but if you insist on doing that, you will destroy the very basis of your existence. in fact, this historical data to show that often after a significant different emissions comes a spike, the center, the international climate and environment research and offload tracks emissions.
4:51 am
and it's documented how since tonight in sixty's, key events that have resulted in emissions falling to all crises, the dissolution of the soviet union, the 1990 s agent financial crisis and the 2008 financial crush. they came a period of growing emissions as the after columbia that i've again, i spoke when i went up the office and will be much less so if you will, fast to know. so can i like to watch like i just like job bam. with 3 kids up to the scene. now suddenly, fees, shoes saw sample just put orders like, you know, from re usable shopping bags to energy efficient home systems and even bandy toothbrushes over the past decade. also, there's been a surge in individual efforts around the world to live more so called eco friendly
4:52 am
lives. while this unmistakable power in the collective action of many individuals, giant corporations can render these efforts irrelevant, simply because their actions are many orders of magnitude more impactful on the planet. just take a look at the breakdown of greenhouse gas emissions since $988100.00 companies alone are responsible for an astonishing 71 percent. there is literally nothing individual action can achieve if big businesses do not make fundamental changes. so why is this mythology of individual green transformation pushed so aggressively as a viable solution to this global climate crisis? world is vested interests. of course, fossil fuel companies, big manufacturers, the airline corporations, intensive, industrial agriculture. all these giant industries been billions to lobby policymakers and to shape global messaging, so they can be shifting the uniform to individuals,
4:53 am
takes the heat off them. an essential element of neo liberalism is the individuation of play. you don't have any money left because you're lazy and feckless. never mind the massive inequality and now distribution, well, you want to protect the environment. well, stop find faster. awesome. never mind the fact that the fossil fuel companies have, i've got that clause into the homeless rachel gum, so it's all about passing on playing from structural factors on to individual people. so part of the kind of meal world mythology is the technology will solve our problems. so you can change the big deal, but it's caused by say, the burning fossil fuels. so all we need to do is shift to renew green energy. and people feel much. i don't have to worry about climate change anymore because technology has softball and plants capture seo to ah,
4:54 am
what is other kinds of plans captured it to if these industrial plants had technology to capture carbon like trees, we could help lower emission. so think about if you truly believe we teach the summer business schools all over the. ready planet that through grows, we can create the welsh needed. teresa knowledge is needed to replace nature if you really are so ethical centric. so self centered on the success of our speech. and then this guy, i don't happened as long as be and still makes jude fortunes or the system will resist any effort to redesign the system before close on. so. so now it's beginning . so, and that's what we can mask on, which isn't going, she's been doing, she's wild talk market good. the only one of the doors if they move mickey out. yeah. let me see if we can,
4:55 am
you know, based on my system pass, you to keep going to feel. so when we produce biofuel, from sugarcane in brazil, we use the best practice international standard to help protect workers and the environment. last cannot koreans as total major samantha don't mean to kill straw set. the collapse the key was his name l thinks on me to town. am i see? would it be for me to keep them based on what it means to them or not? what they're going to do? look to him. i think he'll need me to see the pretty info toward wonders. ange, boston, guam, me as mister twitch be some man to commit more stock. he will straw see
4:56 am
much failed to the splendid niece. the events of the past few months have begun to stretch our collective imagination in directions we wouldn't have contemplated before. and as we take stock of everything with land from the pen demik, we need to apply it to the much bigger, ongoing emergency of the environmental crisis. after all, that is the biggest health problem we will ever have to collectively face time for the pendulum to swing back toward a greater sense amount. not only in the relationship, some nations, but then the relationships between human crime and the rest of nikos. whereby as a species, as a global civilization, we can live more equitably within the while productive means of the system. now that seems perhaps a bit of a stretch from corporate, but it is merely symptomatic gradient balances, which currently exist,
4:57 am
hoping well not by any means that the last of them will be more if you stay on the contract, kick up by feel funny, feel good and we will figure the scene, but please call me back. i thought i was trying to pick up too much. i imagine now the flu shot mass out when we want to, we can mobilize your sausage very, very quickly. we can totally change our behavior. we can totally change a structural politics and the way that is offerings, all these things we, the total complete, impossible suddenly become possible because the face to the emergence. now we have to recognise planning breaks as an emergency. we need now to mobilize on a massive scale to ensure that our lives are not sacrifice on the altar of money.
4:58 am
news, news, news, news, news. hello there. let's start in north america, where that exceptional and dangerous heat is the main weather story. not just along the western areas, but also along that east coast. we've seen temperatures klein and those hot and dry conditions are continuing to fuel wild fires. not only in the north west of the us, but also in western parts of canada. and that's affecting the air quality. now the heat is going to continue over the next few days,
4:59 am
but temperatures are going to come down, particularly across the east coast as we go into next week. what's, what weather on the way we could see severe storms rolling all the way down to the deep south with texas, expecting see some really severe weather, but the heat does continue for the northwest is further south. we are seeing those rains kick in the monsoon rains. have cost and flash flooding across parts of arizona and new mexico. we could see more as the rains continue to fall and it's going to be very wet indeed for parts of florida. that's thanks to tropical storm fred, as it makes its way across the florida keys towards those gulf states. we could see up to 200 millimeters of rain dumped in areas here. we have got a tropical storm, a let out for southern parts of florida where that rain is expected to fall rather heavily. the talk to al jazeera,
5:00 am
we'll roll. did you want the un to take and who stopped you? we listen. you see the whole infrastructure and being totally destroyed. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on our sierra. ah, cities continue to for the taliban. consolidated control of a more and more. i've got the i i'm on the inside of this is out there, life also coming up at least 300 people are killed after magnitude 7.2 quake strikes haiti have rise among all positions before us in zambia.
