6:33 am
and we bring you the stories and developments that are rapidly changing the world we live in without the international aid. what do you think is going to happen? the afghan economy? counting the coast on al jazeera, me, the governments have known about the causes and consequences of global warming over 3 decades that most have so far failed to respond effectively to the threat to our planet. as world leaders meet the climate talks in the u. k. journalist amanda barrow has been asking why politicians and everyone have struggled to take decisive action the
6:34 am
ah, for anyone still in doubt or in tonight, but the world's climate is changing. the summer of 2021 should have been a wake up call. one natural disaster followed another even normally temperate britain or at share of extreme whether the truth is man made global warming is now irrefutable. and that's why wildly does the gathering once more to discuss how to respond with things so critical. it's apps that the cop 26 summit is taking place here in the u. k. it's where the industrial revolution began in the 19th century. when fossil fuel mass production started releasing rising amounts of carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gases into the atmosphere. where that might lead didn't become clear for a long time, but for at least 30 years. now we've known that unless we would use carbon emission
6:35 am
than climate change would have to dire consequences. we are now seeing for all of us, no matter where we live. i've come to the village of hems be in norfolk and i've been told that this man who's living right on the front line of climate change and the name of the house gives a clue as to i love. hello laura amanda. this richard. oh, it might look pretty here, but as with many parts of the world is a growing fret from extreme weather and rising sea levels. since the early 90 ninety's almost 2 thirds of his speech on the case east coast have been washed away . much of it during a huge storm in 2018 and i took everything away from underneath the house. should we start back through or should in the kitchen, i heard the resentment cracking my feet, looked down and i could see the sea. so i swelled up and it's literally that
6:36 am
hanging over there to the quick friends helped lance move his home 10 meters inland and he's built his own c defenses. but these are only temporary measures and it's hard to be optimistic. always a climate change skeptic. like everybody else in but i think living here really opened your eyes of i'm is really scary because you don't know what tomorrow's gonna room hence me has been a popular holiday spot for over a century. but i think beach diminishes. so to 2 it's prospect people here have had to start preparing for the work. at the local politician tells me we have emergency plans in place, which we never dreamed of doing before. and we have evacuation centers also have you had to evacuate. we have here, but when we evacuate the people we an original for that was for the night. never in our wildest dreams did. we end up drinking. we would have to demolish 11 or 12 times. the local authorities are discussing building
6:37 am
a system of defenses against the encroaching fee, but progress is frustratingly slow, and they may not be finished anytime soon, or even be enough. those rob fair fortifications mode war to which the village is there, and is handsets hatton cells from the sea. and the irony of using those to deal with the emergency. now, i mean, we should be on a wartime footing. they should have been for decades, but it's only how that people have finally gotten. it was happening. it's hands be, is just one example of what's going on all over the world. as climate change becomes more noticeable. what thought though, is why this country of all countries might be caught unawares. after all, a former british prime minister with one of the 1st politicians to start raising the alarm. it is mankind, and his activities, which are changing the environment of our planet. in damaging and dangerous ways.
6:38 am
over the next 30 years, many other leaders promised action at rio. we have made a start since 995, they've been annual un gatherings known as co summit. everybody tried very hard. ah. most famously at one in harrison 2015, nearly 200 countries agreed to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees celsius above pre industrial levels at most. and ideally 1.5. they also promised to balance the amount of carbon they produced with that suites. what is known as net 0, but promise is it fun? it's so easy to make and people will. and emissions of carried on why i think the leaders have made more pledges more promising. there is no planet, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, target they made the world become warmer. we can tiny foreseeable
6:39 am
consequences. we face the possibility of systemic environmental collapse. one or more of the, of systems. sudden the flips from one stable state into a different one. for instance, we could see an ice shelf flipping and basically collapsing into the scene. and when one flipside can trigger a flipping of a load of others, you can get a cascade of impacts and that's happened during mass extinction events in the past . and, and that's fundamentally what we face or french journalist george mumbo has been campaigning for the environment for 36 years. why does he think we're in this position now? politicians just push everything into the future where it'll be someone else's problem. and if we don't fix things now, well, we're not going to be in office when things goes accosted later on. and so,
6:40 am
as every incentive not to deal with the biggest crisis that humanity has ever faced. of course, if every political generation just pos, the buck, the biggest, the challenge becomes in truth fossil fuels and now so intertwined with every aspect of modern life. that reducing our reliance on them means making fundamental and possibly unpopular changes to the way we live. politicians in the u. k. have been reluctant to for through those changes as anywhere else. jill rutter is the former british civil servants. she was involved in the publication of several sustainable development strategies in the 19 nineties and to thousands. climate change is a really massive problem for government. it requires a wholesale economic transformation, a very short window. so it's real challenges to make meaningful action across all front civil tenuously. and you tend to get the sum line of least resistance,
6:41 am
and it's what you can get other people to accept according to the science, even if dramatic action is taken to day, climate change will continue to worse and for at least a couple more decades. that's not appealing for leaders who depend on public support to stay in power. if you think politician, you are taking quite difficult and henry, quite unpopular decisions now. for a benefit, the nor any way you see during your electoral terms, they might not be seen during your political lifetime. would be quite a difficult push. yeah, it's a push he. oh critic, politician, he's going to say yes, that's my gender. yet some politician has seen electrical advantage in the crisis in 2010. david cummins, conservative party one power in britain. after promising to deal with
6:42 am
a problem ignored by previous governments, payment, cameron decided that he was going to embrace the need to actual climate change and use back of passed his strategy of detoxifying and changing people's views about the conservative party. but says rappa and becoming prime minister, come and then booked at the likely economic costs when he saw the effect of some of the climate change, levy on electricity bills. you know, said we're, we shouldn't have all this. yeah. his chin was green, crack. putting up energy prices, synchronization, have conviction concerts as a result, a government that promised to be the greenest ever turned out to be at best lukewarm on dealing with climate change. commands administration did face out coal fired power station and build and work a previous governments by supporting renewable energy. but late to gave the go ahead to the controversial fracking programs. as other governments around the world
6:43 am
have found, the reality of facing down opposition from powerful vested interest is challenging . now, i would like you to please welcome a salesperson like, ah, what happened some years ago in new zealand is a good case in point. in 1099, had him clog became prime minister sustainability i believe has become the bonding issue of the early 21st century. a government likes that to be one of the 1st anyway to caught. caught at the mission museum was one of the very early countries when i was prime minister will say we're going to aim to bait net carver neutral. that was very ambitious time. the full weight of the climate crushes hadn't really dawned on people. if people worry. busy about elephants and in 2000 or 3 cops, government thought to tax the methane emitted by livestock at the dairy industry is
6:44 am
a significant part of the new zealand economy. this was no small proposal, but some 60 percent of the countries the missions came from animals. i'm reducing that figure was the priority and it is very, very difficult. the agricultural community listed a petition against it was signed plenty, half the country farmers around $400.00, blocked the streets of new zealand, capital. wellington, in protesting the path was abandoned. we eventually went for an emissions trading scheme proposal and we might agriculture the last to come in and then the change of government like they never came in testing the climate process is a long term and different. i think what is important for leaders is to recognise that the goal is far more about than just about winning an election. what is the
6:45 am
point of winning elections if you don't use the political capital to do the things that need to be done? how many policies are now in office? the reluctant to follow that advice? 2021 un report published ahead of the 26th. um, it shows that with nation current target, the plan is unquote to catch a profit to point 7 degrees celsius above pre industrial level. that would seem to justify determined and effective measures from our government. so why have filled the lie in the way we all respond to anything other than immediate threat and perhaps political reactions, the climate crisis are a matter of psychology. ah, much of our culture is still not paying any attention to pretending it's not happening. and we see that in some ways all around us, please think about game shows that might focus on long whole flights as a prize that is just denying the reality of carbon intensive practices. and so it
6:46 am
almost really chris degree. we're not rational beings, so we don't always respond to the threat international way. but we do is we experience anxiety, but then we try and unconsciously push it out of the way. as climate crisis gets closer and closer and maybe we'll do something about it. on the other hand, it's possible that we may engage in more and more district defense mechanisms. all these instinct emotions that we've been talking about, how do they play out in the political arena? what we can forget too easily perhaps, is that politicians of whatever stripe or other parts are also human beings. so they're all caught up in the same kinds of processes of everyday denial and defense as me and use the rest of us for george, mom via the decisions that needs to be made a quite straightforward, but he doesn't think politicians will ever willingly take them eating less mate flying, less, changing the way we travel, insulating our homes consuming less. all those require mobilizing the public and
6:47 am
often confronting some revolved, tentative decision and politicians don't want to do that. they absolutely don't want to go that they don't want to do anything which people might feel resistant towards. and yeah, you know, you tell people we want you to drive your car less and people, some people are going to react against it is often left up to local politicians and activists to do the right thing. but even on a much smaller scale on issues that would seem relatively easy to resolve. those, trying to push through apparently climate from the policies faced many of the same hospitals making transport stable as well. the keys that need to be taken on the router. net 0. so here in london is a push to encourage cycling. but of course, putting plans into concrete action on the ground can be easiest happens on on. i've heard the usual quiet neighborhood of chic tend to be cycling.
6:48 am
i don't think you can ever keep everybody happy, but i have not seen this kind of descent in 21 years. i've never seen this in my life anywhere over anything. honestly. margie free is involved with one check. a local group fiercely opposed to the introduction of 2 way cycle lanes. are group believes that this is not a safe cycle lane. i've seen so many near misses. i can't even tell you, save eliminated the bustling, which now means the buses have to stop all along every car behind it stops idling. traffic fumes are created by didn't consider myself her. a radicals like this and away i've been radicalized by senior physician. i'm hearing a story that it's the death of the village. it's the death of commerce as well. and people need to change. you have to leave space for these new new ideas counsellor honda con, has already been working on this one small scheme for 2 years. we have consulted,
6:49 am
we have spoken to many residents in many different ways. there are so many angles to look at from businesses to elderly residents. so it's complicated. i me, the most challenging thing for me is the hostility that we received for a divided community. and that's what these low traffic neighborhoods of doing. it's all banks. the question, if a modest proposal to expand my claims in one small part of one city can lead to thought faith argument. where is now a guy a guy across from well can the u. k. government, or indeed, any government summoned the will to try and transform the planet. the british government has now made a commitment. it's reached that 0 by 2050. it's got some impressive goals in place . green is good. green is right. dream works. but how exactly it will get that is lack of clear, much needs to be done at the moment is not even on coast to hit target. the 2035.
6:50 am
and this despite scoring evidence from opinion pounds, the majority of british people want to see the country reduced emissions foster. i'm 2nd example, the other john dom up now lord deepen was the case environment secretary between 1993 and 7. today he has the climate change committee which advises the government on emissions targets when you have to make the promises. cuz if you don't have the target and you don't have the parameters, you won't do it, but it's always more difficult to move from policy to action and it's always more difficult to deliver. that's true of anything. i remember when i was secretary of state, while i was slightly laughed at before, rather of no sort of bit bit peculiar really i'm, it was, it's very renewables. i, i mean renewables will seem what you really wanted. good soul masculine. think the
6:51 am
big shameful system, which she said the shop out all these follow fairy windmills and all the way through i'm, we've had to change that new change that because government makes a tough decision and enables new industries to flourish. a batch, what we have to do much more effectively. it's not all bad. knees over the past 2 decades. government support has enabled britons offshore. wind industry to come to life. in 2020, it's counted for around a quarter of the countries electricity generation. it's a key reason why am issues here have gone down by owns the 40 percent compared to 1990. but the government is also planning to allow new oil field and to co mine. 270000 jumps was supported by the british own and gas industry in 2019 making the full transition to clean energy as a challenge. konita. how might they put his health
6:52 am
on my way to tease bite in the northeast of england, i saw responded to life jane the industrial revolution and became a bustling manufacturing hub. 9 for it. i didn't feel metal and it's chemical production. and now politicians, the banking on it having a major role in the transitions. when that 01, i mean for the british government is investing, i have 500000000 pounds in the region. it's already one of the, you case, offshore wind power hub. the math here and how sion has a grand division for the area which includes a more controversial technology. tea side fell into decline. the 1918 wanting. the closure deal with house in is planning to build a global net 0 hub here on the 4500 acre
6:53 am
flight known as the teeth work. the old infrastructure has been demolished and the ground level ready for invested with already interest from general electric. you plan to build a wind turbine blade factory here. $20000.00 joke to be crated. how to help me out of a facility built, which will process carbon emissions from industries on site and in the surrounding area. were actually stood on the side of one of the amazing projects we managed to secure which will be the world's 1st modern industrial scale called capturing storage. so to capture over $10000000.00 tons of carbon every single year. this multi $1000000000.00 project is a joint venture between oil companies, b, p, aquino, and hotel names that don't exactly spring to mind as champions of environmentally friendly low carbon initiative. and some scientists remain deeply skeptical about how sustainable carbon catch can be at scale. but hutchins isn't concerned,
6:54 am
you'll have the old oil and gas companies. it will extract that huge amounts of fossil fuels and carbon, in effect, from underneath and off c, putting it back into those carbons, will i have no problem with working with oil and gas companies, because they know that the writings on the wall for, for fossil fuels and they're trying to seek a new future to continue with their business. the climate change activists. skilled in the 1st place. the most important thing we should do is to stop producing greenhouse gases in the 1st place. but that's what governments don't want to do because of the power vested interests. you know, you have these big legacy industries, like the fossil fuel industry, which have enormous political power because they have a lot of money. government still want to compress it with tinkering around the edges of the system. whereas a systemic threat. she's what we face requires systemic change.
6:55 am
the fundamental problem here is the sheer volume of economic activity. that's what hammering the planet, and that's what we need to reduce. and that means we actually need to stop growing yet like it or not, that up as height. the growth, which gave rise to the still work since he side back in their heyday, is still the main driving force behind the competitive global economy to day. inevitably, politically does everywhere worry that passing policies to combat climate change could put them as an economic disadvantage. if other countries don't follow suit, one of the cases, but we did use to try to make when i was environment department was, well, there was a 1st mover advantage the if economies were gonna have to move in that direction anyway. rather than be stranded with a bunch of, you know, redundant industries based on fossil fuels, you want to spend the wind guard of the new industrial revolution. if you like. we
6:56 am
never quite managed t convince some of our economic department colleagues. she would say, well, actually might be better, just be the 2nd way. let other people go there 1st and we can be very quick copying for fear of failure, fear of losing power, fear of sacrificing national advantage. it's easy to understand why some governments have been slowed to respond to climate change. but it's also clear why many people and now losing patience with carbonite, but none of them out of the area we're actually helping politicians be helping maintenance people in the same that move in a different direction. the extinction rebellion or actor is an activist movement that started in 2019 the aim of using non violent direct
6:57 am
action to effect change. it's 1st rebellion and u. k. in april that year let the british government declaring a climate emergency but 2 and a half years on. and that back on the streets, you managed to make change. i don't have a choice. some of these activists are so desperate that they're prepared to go to jail in order to draw attention to their code. but their voice is all being heard. and even garnering some political support. cliff lewis is a labor m, p. i, one of the things about politicians like me that we said here in here and we pass legislation. there's lots of different power base putting us big companies, big money, banking institutions, vested interests, have a disproportionate poll and influence on our politics. you see in this country we see in the us we see across the world as no expression power can see nothing without them, all people need to demand more of their politicians demand more of their systems.
6:58 am
and unless they do that, i don't think we'll move at the speed that we need to even for lords, deepen, change is long overdue. this is a revolutionary world. it's a revolution we forced upon by the fact that we've allowed climate change to get out of control. and taking back control means of very whole hearted change in the way which we structure i. when the world 1st began to wake up to the dangers of global warming either 3 decades ago, politically, to still have the luxury of time to consider the implications and take the necessary action. now climate change is here. it's real and it's the fact that we're ready being found time for one of us, including our politician, is fast running out ah
6:59 am
