11:30 am
and it could spread, it's the most serious conflicts of 15 years. one of the most powerful criminal groups in mexico that the genesis of this will was almost 2 months ago. a pull straight out the to it will start from the morning of the 25th of july. we have a meeting at this route. one of the attendees, a 76 year old man with a $50000000.00 balance. he only said his name is miles above, but he was better known as why you one of the found the members of the call to. he was meeting one of its younger generation walking guzman guzman was one of those chuck peters, the sons of legendary king pin, and chapel. they were rivals 12 mile within the call till that day they degrades, come together to help resolve a local political dispute. instead, according to elect to the miles subsequently released through his lawyer, something very different, it happened. as soon as i set foot inside of that room,
11:31 am
i was on bushed, the group of men a sold to me. nope, me to the ground and place the dark colored hood of my head said, oh my through he's a lawyer. it was a kid. nothing. he claims quite king guzman tons. michael says that he was an hancock put in the back of a truck and then driven about 25 minutes to this strip where it was bundled in to apply the strips. he didn't move in the lower and this is the play it to pay for king guzman, and no miles. he says restrained with zip ties. to el paso, texas, us agents waiting for the whose mom was tending himself in, allegedly, using my was a present to us authorities to get a better deal. guzman, lawyer. the nice any such, do some john is question miles. let's as version of events, would he really have been kidnapped after evaluating capture for decades? but many of us here in cooley can see it exactly as he tells it the great the true
11:32 am
. and it was just the beginning of trouble. com over 2 months. so milestone is miles above a psychiatrist, reportedly made alliances, and gather forces to start a war against the remaining to peters. on 9 september, it began. sorry for the fights, clay moved the 50 dead. meanwhile, and while you're in the parking guzman, a boat for waiting trial in the united states and drug trafficking and other charges don't home and how does it clearly account and that. so for me, elizabeth, put out them for this half hour of news, but stay with us on our 0. we're back in just on the 30 minutes. with all the nation updates on the stories were covering. thank you for watching. the assassination is the stabilizing the democratic process. if we lose it,
11:33 am
we will be lost for holding a documentary. explores how autocratic lead is undermine democracy, to consolidate the power through the eyes of those who dare to stand and defy it. a country deserves so much better than being ruled by a collective project exceed opposing we'll talk, proceed. democracy may be on al jazeera, the the
11:34 am
way on doing what other land disappeared. the evening change the 50 years home of the underwater, the, the east coast to area is going to be flooded over the lived here. my life over here is this louisiana. we phase many coastal problems because of the costly eroding lane. they're not going to be lane or 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
11:35 am
lock systems. they're starting to leave their land and they've been on for hundreds of use, literally as ancient land. whenever land goes, everything goes with the turn out to the dangers who storms right across the south tornado with human activities. global warming has ended due to 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. after face this problem, they grew up in, in climate,
11:36 am
which is going to be much different from the climate. we're going to get the, you can see the intense rain storms. 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 that we have to look different now mediately 10 years ago, 20 years ago for very late getting started the move somewhere else, a little bit higher elevation. the
11:37 am
i was working in the early 19 seventy's as an astrophysicist, but 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 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.
11:38 am
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 it? damaged the question, i guess we might, as of drake, they'll pick up next time is why do we do nothing? thank you. the
11:39 am
louisiana is for the one of them, 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 of hurricane 2 of the 3 largest hurricanes to hit louisiana in 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. and half the roofs getting torn off the
11:40 am
the back fence has came down. trees started falling, the house was shaken and then uh, i could look outside my window and uh, watch my neighbors porch for the i thought i was gonna die with 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 makes me feel kind of sad. was kind of like last history. the
11:41 am
everything was in balance or relatively so until we started burning so much fossil fuels. when you burn fossil fuels 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 into the plan 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, you know, wind up being a side or, and dryer places that now occasionally did heavy rainstorms. those stores are likely to be even heavier, if we don't get ahold of it now, get the problem under control. we'll just have health the
11:42 am
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 and 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
11:43 am
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 ask 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 couldn't 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. it was 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 senator is
11:44 am
a 2 fold congressional hearings on climate change. so michael became one of the prominent scientists to be outspoken on the issue. there are 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 you change. and people like oppenheimer decided to speak out. this is really great. 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
11:45 am
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 was in that climate change of the
11:46 am
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 atmospheric balance, the temperature. we knew where the temperature was going to go, was only portion of how fast it was going to get not yes, the but they 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 plant. they're really enjoying the short term profits, the. they never
11:47 am
published anything about what we found. so mobile is going to have 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. so big 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,
11:48 am
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 that louisiana was industry is a very, very precious war. and most everybody worked for the oil industry. and if anything were to happen to that would be so many people going without jobs or 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 stuff, feel bad, but there's nothing really much that we could really do to stop it as a single person. the
11:49 am
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 or 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 was called home. i go and after
11:50 am
all the families docs and everything for a shrimp boats and all that are down there and was the land source to eat away. those they're going to eat away. 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 the 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 id earlier this year as posttraumatic stress disorder. sometimes i could just start the stair 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 messer. oh, so how you doing today? right?
11:51 am
correct. okay. so grass, no, yeah, i already got the boat to the wireless thing. we need to my grandfather used to go and kids crowd is tramps but because a lot of her chains, nobody wants to live. there is 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 are 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
11:52 am
reports were really cute. 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's 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 scientists 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 and so on behalf of the scientific community,
11:53 am
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 fail a human being, the quality on the pets. and so 2 options await us in the immediate future. quite a crisis for climate revolution. let's choose revolution. needs that are good by drawing no surprise to should i have 7
11:54 am
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 than 10 st backs and have to live with them. the boxes are listed with fewer gateways, furniture, and 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 when i get older than live culture and move can see the water pump into the front of the
11:55 am
a legacy of bodies pumping up. that's all my say, the back arrow bows 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 would be under water at least to its roof. if not a little bit more. would you like to maybe come out on the 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 a scape or to some other place in the universe. these changes will be rapid,
11:56 am
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 were cause 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
11:57 am
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 that she 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
11:58 am
room 950 more years from now making 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 man in the front of the water. you know, some sad to think about the big difference. so what do you think we're gonna do for in a how well does it rent, but who pays the price? when we came to clean up, new orleans more than $1200.00 for black people lost their lives. not a single rich american. less than, like the real cost of the climate to emergency. the most vulnerable of people who
11:59 am
are suffering are poor people. but even rich people are going to be affected by the impacts of climate shift dying us off to the hurricane. on down to 0, investigative gender, thousands of young men and women come down into the jungle to join the pro democracy forces sharing personal stories with the globe and audience. i do have experience been followed by multiple possibly chinese agents, exploring a fund world class program as anybody dies in gauze of starvation is going to say things that are focused on the see the world from a different perspective on how to use here on look exclusive office would be up to 25 percent off or a freebie in books get ready to watch the champions of a thrilling season between the year be leaks,
