visual operations, it's all wood that is where these pray that the mechanism or destroy that's what the arrangements will be put to the test going forward. and some chinese officials have accused the philippines of ignoring what they say was a gentlemen's agreement made with the previous philippines, president or draco, to try to and say that us is actually directing this new philippines government. is that the case? i mean, macos is seen as closer to washington and then rodrigo, to attach a was. but the philippines still depends economically on china. how delicate of a balancing act is, is full then your administration. yeah, so i think what you can choose a foreign policy in the philippines is actually directly related to domestic politics. and so every policy side that every 6 years in the philippines, you have a change precedent. it's all about the change in policy and the budget right? no. the court administrator shaw this did not like the approach of the previous

administration and it was not the form of the agreement. and so the good administration thinks that it is the binding such an agreement is not binding. and the perceived that such an agreement would only undermine the philippines of your be sure. imagine woods, which actually is to stay short on, you mean short if it's not prepared. all those kinds of forest fires in guatemala, have caused the state of disaster to be declared. 80 percent of the fires are suspected that had been started deliberately. the disaster declaration by president bernardo are valo, allows for funding to assist with firefighting in peru. the number of deaths caused by doing the fever have more than tripled this year to a $117.00 low income areas. our hardest hit by the mosquito borne disease. the government has passed an emergency decree to try to curve the outbreak. experts say it's being made worse by climate change. italian archaeologist and the roman city

of pompei have uncovered in ancient banquets. how halls? well preserve neuro paintings were also found a famous figure such as helen of troy, a polo and cassandra pompei was destroyed by interrupting volcano into your $7988.00, and it appears to be static. the walls were painted black to prevent the smoke from the oil lamps being seen on the walls. people would meet to dine off to sunset, the flickering lights of the lamps had the effect of making the images appear to move. okay, that's what for me mornings at the top of the hour of next it's dying or by the a week to look at the world's top business stores. how much is the rebuilding going to cost and who pays from global markets and economies of small businesses have just started seeing and station come down and how it affects the lives?

how big a problem is global food insecurity? counting the cost on al jazeera, the the way on doing what other land disappears, the even change the should use home of the underwater on these coastal areas are going to be flooded over the

i've lived here, my life over here is this louisiana. we phase many coastal problems because of the costly a routing land they're not going to be land will have levies which are basically land masses that are formed in like a wall to keep high sea levels out. the might of some people still live outside the lock system. they're starting to leave their land and they've been on for hundreds of use. low is ancient lane. whenever land goes, everything goes with it. turn out to the dangers who storms right across the south tornado with human activities.

global warming has ended the heat, a global binding. as of right the, the rate of temperature increase this without precedent. we're facing a future that we don't understand. we can predict fully a lot of places are simply not going to be comfortable to live in. all human settlements have to face this problem. they grew up in a climate which is going to be much different from the climate. we're going to get the, you can see the intense rain stores. you can see the incredible heat waves where people are dying, large population. so we'll have to move all over the world because of sea level

rise. we're going to see more categories, 4 and 5. hurricane, so maybe even categories we've never experienced before, we're about to get a brand new climate. the climate change means we have to live different now mediately, 10 years ago, 20 years ago for very late getting started, the move somewhere else. and the higher elevation, the

i was working in the early 19 seventy's as an astrophysicist for that it had very little direct connection with what was going on a nurse. and ultimately that's where i wanted to focus. how could the science that i news be applied to solving problems that are really important to humanity as a whole? how warm the plan that will get and whether the conditions under which human beings and other species drive will remain close to what they are today? or things just going to spin out of control. ok, so we start with driving forces. those are what are the emissions going to be? and it's not that easy. if you think about it, what are we going to be doing $3050.00, a 100 years from now? that's going to cause human beta emissions. how does the political system going to respond? how does the human psyche get a response?

there you get in an area which is really impossible to predict. and the question then becomes, how do you fix up between these events? how do you recover from a hurricane before you have time to really fix the damage? the question, i guess we might, as of drake, that i'll pick up next time is why do we do nothing? thank you. the louisiana is for the one of the more climate sensitive places really on the planet . we are very vulnerable to climate change because this is a low lying area that is in the past of a lot of hurricane. as the

ocean gets warmer, we are seeing an increase in the intensity for games. 2 of the 3 largest hurricanes to hit louisiana and the recorded histories and have hit this decade in 20202021. the whenever a hurricane comes, it's only got so much time until it comes in during the hurricane. uh, as it was hitting, i was watching people's houses and breaking in half the roofs getting torn off the backs. vince's came down, trees started falling, the house was shaken and then uh, i can look outside my window and uh, watch my neighbors porch for the hot

dog. i'll be on uh the next day, everything like destroyed we have seen a r v. a flipped over. and after going through a try, see if anybody was inside, it was one of my neighbors. i was old man, he had passed away, we didn't have no cell service. so we just had to wrap up the body and try to keep it as preserved as possible. and so then we could contact authorities and after they could contact the family, amazement sale kind of side was kind of like last history. the everything was in balance or relatively so until we started burning so much fossil fuels. when you burn, stylus of jewels or releases carbon dioxide molecules, which stand out as here for a very long time and they reflect the outgoing radiation doc down to earth. there's

more energy coming in to the planet and that is going out of the planet into space . so the plan has no choice, but the more fossil fuels we burn the hot or the planet and look at that say the places that are now side and dry, but you know, wind up being a side or dryer places that now we occasionally did heavy rainstorms most likely to be even heavier, if we don't get ahold of it now, get the problem under control. we'll just have health to pay the as i began my work in the environmental community. and the 1st big issue i took on was air pollution. but while i was investigating it,

i ran across to climate change problem in the literature, and then the p a report on the environmental impacts of cold. and i was so astonished that we, as human beings would be warming up the planet. and it turned out nobody was working on nobody's trying to make it a publication. the this frame is really use some significance because this was given to me with a nice inscription by senator 10 worth of colorado from july 28th 1988. the purpose of scale was to establish a national energy policy to reduce global warming. this was a leading edge. this bill to begin to address climate change. we asked people what climate change was all about. they wouldn't have

a clue. we're starting from scratch 0. i spent most of my time talking to scientists so that i could understand the problem on the one hand and asked them to come forward to be outspoken. i got a call from someone named grace palmer ads, who is a well known environmental activist who was looking for maybe companionship on the road to try to solve a very difficult problem. it was very good at working behind the scenes and convincing senators a 2 fold congressional hearings on climate change. so michael became one of the prominent scientists to be outspoken on the issue. there were very few things in life that i ever get frightened about. this was one of how

is it that human beings actually could come eventually to control? we are as climate is going, the typical scientist was saying, i can just tell you information, but i'm not gonna talk politics or talk about what, what should change. and people like oppenheimer decided to speak out, this is really break the i think if you look at some of my congressional testimony, you'll notice that i got it just about right. i would predict that we would see the effects of climate change relatively near in the future, perhaps in a couple of decades. i was very clear when i spoke to senator, is this going to be big problems unless we start cutting emissions that the

moving the politics of climate change is a huge task because you have an enormous portion of the economy that is dependent on the use of fossil fuels, so all those interest created a fictional story about the issue in order to diminish any political chance of action they didn't want. 6 the average person to know what the truth wasn't that climate change of the exxon is now and why other than one of the largest oil producing companies in the world. we know that exxon scientists in the 1980s were fully aware of the gravity of the problem. their predictions were

very good, very accurate. it was very well understood that c o 2 had a major role maintaining the restrict balance of temperature. we knew where the temperature was going to go, was only portion of how fast it was going to get. not if the, with the method all out they knew how it would affect their company. if society wanted to do something about this, fossil fuels would have to go at some point they were not interested in, in long term presenting the final. they're really enjoying the short term profits, the, the never published anything about what we found. so mobile is going to have a 2 sided attitude towards climate. if you feel uncomfortable about mobiles position, let us know they were not only funding and saying it wasn't a problem. they were publishing reports saying this is not an urgent problem. don't

drive the car, they say the cars is safe or is there a global warming problem? thousands of scientists say no to this day, we suffer from that propaganda. it's something that many people still believe in the science is critical to understand that. but the politics of it are essential to solving the problem. but the politicians become dependent on all these interest companies for money to run their elections they really stopped us from taking action, keeping america competitive requires affordable, entered. how do you get a country that's an oil country to negotiate? not selling more oil. america is addicted to oil. the, the economy of the louisiana was industry is a very,

very precious war. and most everybody worked for the oil industry. and if anything were to happen to be so many people going without jobs, and does he live in uh, louisiana. the young people like me have offered 36, signed on early to go into the military. mostly. or my plan for the future is to work for the oil industry. so i feel bad, but there's nothing really much that we could really do to stop it as a single person. the everybody has other things to worry about. do i have enough money to send my children to college? try for the insurance on my house. climate change can see. well yeah, it's important. yeah. it's a big risk,

but we don't have to deal with it right now. the day inevitably comes when you can't push climate change drugs because it's starting to be such a big factor that you can see it in your own life. the is a traumatic because the areas that i once knew and what's called home i go and after all the families docs and everything for a shrimp boats and all that are down there and was the lay and search the either way. the rows are going to, you know, a and after we're going to have to start moving further, further up, the person that makes me happy is my girlfriend, carmen. she's one of

a car and she's special. she lives us to me and she understands me. she knows that i've been through i got diagnosed with chronic things on earlier this year as posttraumatic stress disorder. sometimes i could just start to stare off. there's something called like a 1000 yard stare and then i start to flash the i've seen a lot and i've been through a lot. i kind of always get worries and ever something bad happens to mr. russell. how are you doing today? get ready to go get some crimes. oh yeah, i already got to move to the wireless thing. we need to my grandfather used to go and kids grab this tramps but because of all the hurricanes,

nobody wants to live there just outside delivery system is not protected. so they get flooded off the rest of the okay, sounds good. all the elders that live down the values, they live there, the whole life, but they're just not going to be around to fully see it. take effect is the use that's going to be around whenever it happens. the reports were really here. talk to somebody. so please give a warm welcome to dr. rhodes.

but i'm also a scientist. i was fired earlier this year for holding up a banner editor of science conference. the banner said out of the lab and into the streets. and we have that banner for about 30 seconds, and for that i was fired. the i'm telling you the story though to explain why more of us sciences aren't out here in the streets with you. is because we are by and large compelled by our institutions to remain neutral, even in the face of environmental devastation. and for over 40 years, most of us have so on behalf of scientific community, i apologize for our cowardice. the somebody some time is going to have to grapple with big problems like climate

change. and if we don't, we just push off the responsibility into the future on other generations, including our own children. and that isn't just a matter of science. that's a matter of what are your morals, what are your ethical standards? what do you think about your fellow human being, the quality on the pets, right. and so, 2 options await us in the immediate future climate crisis or climate revolution. let's choose revolution. we need the very good by drugs, no surprise should i have 7 grandchildren and they will all be living on a much warmer planet with all the consequences the each generation is going to continue to experience more intense impacts and have to live with them. northern india lifted

with wave furniture that makes me very sad and upset that we we pushed about as hard as we could. we have a 100 year flood now occurring every 5 years. our air is polluted. our strides are on the you know, what i think i want to do whenever i get older than life can. let's remove that. see the water pump into the front of the a legacy of bodies pumping up. that's all nice in the back. are those coming up to in the future? i imagine a pretty good future with a stable house living with carmen. but i most probably won't be living in southern louisiana. i might move up to like middle to northern louisiana. my home it will be

under water at least to its roof. if not, i live in more areas. you like to maybe come out on a boat. i feel like i'd be good on the h. the human habit to create a mess and then move on to somewhere else. but humanity is going to make it stand here. it's not gonna happen at escape or to some other place of the universe. these changes will be rapid, costly, and largely undesirable. the viability of many eco systems is at stake, as is perhaps the viability of civilization. as we know, the, since the consequences of ignoring climate change will be severe. it's time to act

. now the most say it's so sad that people didn't listen. if i do this, the others, they chose to ignore it. i feel a strong sense of disappointment. we tried our best to get people's attention. so i overestimated the potential for change it to the. busy the in the early days when i became aware of the climate issue,

my wife lenore gave birth to our son ethan. and i just thought quite a bit about the world, the scene was going to be living in. and i remember walking on a bridge near our house back in those days, you know, sort of wondering what's going to be like for him, the room 950 more years from now. again, 2081 is going to be almost up to one of these coastal areas are

going to be flooded over it's going to be a band in the front of water. now, some sad to think about big difference. so what do you think we're going to do for in a how well this is the rent, but who pays the price? when we came to clean it, new orleans more than $1200.00 for black people lost their lights. not a single rich american. less than like the real cost of the climate to emergency. the most vulnerable of people who are suffering are poor people. but even rich people are going to be affected by the impacts of climate shift. outages here as new series died off to the heart. so how is your vacation in this? it shows the

chest, wow. the, the 1st. and they saw that in real time, it's the victims themselves. there's a disconnect between what we are witnessing on social media versus what we're seeing on mainstream. it is always an attempt to frame as to side of them, but there is no 2 sides to this. the western media does have a western bias. understand what they are looking and raise. the listening post covers how the news is covered. all of latin america for most of my

career, but no countries alike. and its my job to shed light on how and why the more than 50 rockets are launched from southern lebanon into northern israel and the occupies go on heights. the you're watching all to 0 life or my headquarters and i'm getting you navigate the also coming up 3 journalists are injured and the new site is refugee comes in, gaza and what's being described as a targeted is really the top one. palestinian is killed in 20 injured and subtler attacks and the occupied westbank southern russia is dealing with what's being described as the worst flooding in a central.
