more than 250 people of different nationalities, i'll shoot across the more you river. my point is from the democratic korean, but his army, that the victims of human traffic has tricked into travelling to me and then forced to work in scam centers. layering people into fraudulent online investments, games, roman scans and blackmail. and they were still tens of thousands more trapped inside. again, that was still a lot of people, less than scam centers to what the victims of human trafficking tormented under electrocuting time along the long board with me and my tie police and military have setup checkpoints, checking i d's, banners, and tied chinese and english. one of the dangers on the other side. but despite these efforts, a steady flow of people still getting across, it's estimated around a 150 people traffic didn't every day. so we don't have large numbers like that

coming out. so those numbers are definitely increasing within the compounds here. china, it's been trying to exert pressure on the scam centers to close last week. the national energy provider and bank coke, shut down electricity supplies to a number of areas in m. uh, west scam centers operate. but it isn't enough people to run the scan components these, you know, these criminal centers, they are really good at adopting challenges. they're, they're really innovating solutions to problems that are thrown their way and on the boulder. it's clear, little has changed despite thailand's best efforts. there's no shortage of electricity here. you can hear loud music construction noise, the normal bustle of the city. and that's no surprise. law enforcement agencies say this place is home to criminal enterprises that generate billions of dollars every year. and then not going to be shut down with the flick of a switch. tony soldiers watched from the darkness is the notorious city of sweet

coco's lit up at night. this is the hub, the scam is operating in the area, but with no jurisdiction. the criminals across the river, just out of reach. tony chung, out to 0 on the time the modem from finally a kayak, survived a close encounter with one of the wells. now just and normally, most general creatures, adrian cement casts was clanking off the coast of chile. but a hum, but while briefly grabbed him and spoke to him out. he says he was only afraid why didn't sign the whale's mouth and this happy life. he can discuss them all on our website else. is there a dot com these continue say, oh no, it is there off the o hail. but the, the pumps agenda includes everything from tax cuts to immigration,

but how much is real and how much is bluster? is iran footprint across the middle east? frank beach trump administration is wing options to end the rest of your brain more . but what does it mean for euro acoustic a look at us politics. the bottom line right now, a quarter of the world's population, 2000000000 people living in countries. in fact, according to the united nations 2023. so the highest number of active violet conflicts. since world war 2 and according to those tracking nutri emissions is on these across the globe or a country. it'd be the full largest the meat are called. and the impact of war, however, is so much more than just emissions from the tanks ships. and it has a devastating effect on people and the planet. so what is the scale of destruction will find military and in an age with nations justify war on the basis of suppose the security is a honda model. so a huge threat to recollect the security,

the or whichever report that comes out on the state of the climate. this little of the mission stuff, industry spewing more countries committing to him, it less. understanding emissions can help us work out what needs to change up is a big hole in the information we have military emissions. these are rough and poorly tracked and even more poorly reported. and what's worse is the roof in a countries most significant images. there's one military in particular, the biggest in fact, it's $816000000000.00 budget in 2023. that leads the pact with emissions. the us

armed forces, the government money or the seeing that operations is the us department of defense . the department of defense has annual emissions is as large as the emissions of many countries. so it's as largest portugal or sweden in 2023. i spoke with medical co director of brown universities costs of wool project in 2019. her team uncovered a startling fact. the us department of defense has a large annual carbon footprint. in most countries on us to say the us military emissions are 52000000 metric tons annually is to say the united states is the single largest energy user. and the us military is therefore the single largest carbon emitter, looking at it as an institution. 30 percent of those emissions are from races across the world and 70 percent or from operations. you calculate us mandatory

emissions. it's more than many, many other countries. so it's really if the elephant in the room that has been ignored. so i thought that's nic buxton author and research over dance to them. base transnational institute. there was just a report showing that the ministry spending globally has reached 2 point one trillion now. and the war and the claim and now in gaza has kind of given that mex tributes. every time industry spending increases, military emissions increases. getting clarity on emissions is a challenge. there are very few industries. let's see any upside in tracking the carbon that they're putting out into the atmosphere. that reluctance seems multiplied many times over when it comes to military's getting accurate emissions. he gets from them as prison logically for utah. in 2022, a group called the scientist for global responsibility. estimated that altogether new trees and the supporting industries account for up to 6 percent of global

issues that's mold in civil aviation and shipping combined. why do you think this massive source of emissions is so often ignored? is this deliberate or some kind of oversight? i think the reason why ministry missions is really ignored on the plates was a fest really deliberate when the care to approach code was signed and agreed in the mid ninety's at the military comp that and exemption that they wouldn't be in tears if that was that something pushed through by the pentagon in the us didn't sign the agreement to me yet, but it remained on the books, the military and 1997 was very clear that they didn't want to have their operations curtailed and therefore didn't want military emissions, including the 2nd reason is there's vast amounts of military emissions or more related emissions that we can't really at this point. count the cost of work calculations do not include the emissions from blowing things up from burning them . that's kind of out of sight out of mind. at the corner of the costs of war

projects, calculations is few of the us armed forces requires a lot of it. we're talking more than 85000000 barrels for operations alone in 2017 keeping track of how many vehicles have gone to and fro. how long, how many times they've had to refill that. so we will not simple so that all military's needs a way to get around. they require fuel and great power, like united states, which sees itself as pre eminent and wanting to prevail and every conflict desires access to fuel everywhere all the time. so the united states has bases in about $38.00 countries and fuel is supply from those places or is taken to those places and protected. so the united states can operate. i think i calculated once that one jackson and now uses what's an average cost driver. would use in 7 years intensive gas. so these yet thomas, the tank several very high fuel use vehicles. and then you've got

a very large miniature footprint us around $800.00 military base is around the world featured. those has to be supplied to the results and it supports the whole global machine which has a very high and common impact. but of course, the military's impact on the environment doesn't start with emissions, military forces and was, have left to logically devastating environmental legacy around the world. illegal login, which often flourishes as part of the war economy, remains one of the biggest contributors to deforestation and species. lot around one 3rd, if that's kind of stands trees will last between 199-2005 explosives, damage critical infrastructure and can release particles, debris, and talks that pollute the air, water, and swell and lead to sanitation crises. an example of the full that can be seen in 2017 india, where collapse of infrastructure lead to around 2000 cases of color are being

reported each day. part of war is involved in destroying the environmental capacities of nations. we saw that in a rock radio, the few fires that's happens and we're seeing it right now in ukraine. one of the key targets is often fewer demos and sometimes it's around nuclear waste. it was a factory that was talked to is released ammonia into the so odd of military impacts is a leave, a legacy of destruction. most famously we saw that in vietnam with age are in still affecting the defects a decades later. we see it really stop to you right now in terms of gods. i said, you know, tennessee whole neighborhoods being raised to the ground. you're also seeing the use of toxic weapons such as white foss. first, bands through the scanning leaves a toxic after effects seem to shut down a full segmentation facilities by through being palmed and also through the shuttle for electricity. and of course, that's a release of toxic chemicals. so when you see belt buildings at bombs and that

sometimes releases things like this best us. and that's not including all the emissions of course, that coming from the lease of weapons. and ms. silas, it's the combination of past tours, past nuclear testing and past operations. but also car and clean negligence in cleaning up following these operations. dr. my, what a u. d is a professor of political science and middle east politics at georgetown university in washington, dc. nuclear weapons that have taken place in the past, in the martian islands in the forties and the 50s, as well as in indian reservations creating a lot of health impact. the 2nd thing is, there's also to be in fact the open air fits in countries such as iraq, afghanistan, syria, are practiced on a storage. i mention is the water contention because of their sales due in ground water. so using drinking and water for culture purposes, the situation is clearly unsustainable. in november 2022,

the united nations formerly adopted principles to protect the environment amidst on conflicts. and if you look at notice data, the us military submissions, whatever bits of it can be measured, have been on an overall decline since 1975. this is mostly due to a reduction in the number of bases and to move away from coal power to renewables. and you clear all of this? it started to happen even before february 2022. when the us army announced its 1st climate strategy amongst its priorities, installing independent power goods on the basis to improve self sufficiency and to use more renewable energy sources. also a plan to have a fleet of electric known combat vehicles. by 2035, there is of course, this new push for reducing fuel consumption and emissions as well as to transition to more efficient vehicles. this will make a difference. i think it's important but,

and even if they excel rated the transition to renewables, the real savings isn't operation. so then you have to ask, is united states operating in places where it needs to be operating? does it have basses where it needs to have bases or these a legacy of either the cold war or the post 911 wars? so these are questions that the united states military has not for the most part, evaluated. however, the military and government officials a quick to promote their environmental credentials. the same for her say 2021 is restore our. you'll hear about green was green miller trees and yes, even green munition. the best way to define it is it personally, is, is a environmentally benign ammunition, the, the lead slog in the, in the tip of the bullet has been removed and replaced with a much more environmentally friendly material. you have to look underneath the announcements to what's going on. and what you see is that large, the, it's

a concern, not about climate change, but about the funder ability that these groups have too few. or they find out during the rock was that one of the biggest funder abilities to us post is had that was the fact that only from is huge time across depend on a massive amounts of fuel and the search. and it's in the rock near the if the touch or tank because they could undermine us war after that. so there's been a real dr. amongst us, admitted teacher, reduced it's funny ability. it's always good to drink transition. just mean energy . if you can. the problem is we're talking about deep rooted, deep seated historical pollution, which continues to the state. so there's a need for deep structural change. over the past 2 decades, west and governments from washington to camera have to use the lens of national security to view and frame the climate crisis. climate change is a national security issue. climate change at the center of our domestic national security. the impact of climate change on global security is not of absolute deep

power months. the assumption underlying this framing seems simple and obvious. climate change will lead to increased instability, conflict, and migration that requires military readiness. this idea of the environment become a part of national security came after the end of the cold war, when suddenly there was the need to just to find the but you the, you know, viewed intelligence service service within those large block receive, which suddenly we're not faced with the threats of bipolar worlds, the biggest thing was the need to re define what security meant. and so they brought in the agenda to see was the environment is also part of security that led to the assumption from the perspective of america, the west global north, that climate change in the rest of the world will in fact resources creating scarcity. and as a source of conflict, the rest for the western countries, another narrative, just to say, this would create migration. and migration is potentially

a source of address and conflict and instability for the past 1st nations. and that's the real problem with the national security threats. framing is that really it's turning those who are the victims of climate change. there's most impact to taking the course countries into. now the new strengths of the richest country. you never see it. how do we guarantee the security of people forced to beat the homes because of the floods or increase temperatures? it's how can we secure ourselves against steve microns? and that to me is that part of why i think we need to really challenge. besides, you have time and security and always ask the question, who security are we talking about? the other side of the debate, some will say climate change has nothing taken seriously. and so we need to secure a sizes to bring awareness to get the military on board to get the policy makers on board. and then we're able to have urgent action that might sound like a smart strategy officer. rule is the world and the respondents to threats and fame

hungry and the see approach people will take to raise when the problem with this approach is that it means challenges a magnified when the people are made into threats. and the rhetoric just french climate change is a threat multiplier threat, multiplier threat multipliers, the threat to multiplies and stay much. and the, it's just one of the key terms. and this is the idea that climate change will exacerbate existing tensions and conflicts and make them worse. and i must admit, when i 1st looked today, i thought the same, there was this idea to if you're an extreme circumstances, you're going to stuff like fight for survival. it's at the heart of every to step in science fiction. maybe you ever watched the part for it's outside, but actually when you look at the evidence,

it doesn't pain that picture. there's no reason to, in places of scarcity that you might know actually find a thread to drive to actually cooperates in some parts of africa. for example, whether it's been increase impacts on pastoral communities, climate change to punch the line, billions to the bring a starvation that they've actually done had to collaborate and cooperate because they realize that that is the best chance of survival. but nevertheless, united states has looked to certain regions of places where the underlying weakness, governmental capacity and preexisting stressors, like that's a conflict or a lack of democratic governance. and they say, these are the places were instability in migration will come. the one example that keeps coming up in this context is syria. in recent years, it's become common place to describe what's been happening for the past decade or so in the country. as a climate, it's seen as a pre tulsa of the climate,

conflicts to come. however, quite a total of just send researches not quite so assertive when talking about syria, because syria there was a drought and they did have severe impacts and it caused people to migrate and that dropped was undoubtedly it was and by climate change. but they could find no evidence, there is thomas, what disproportion named involved in the civil war against the side in stock. they found that the bigger impact was the removal of agricultural subsidies, which was a measure required by the mass. but you weren't human if you generals blaming the mass for the war and serial. there was a shift to new liberal reforms under the encouragement of international financial institutions such as the world bank and the i met on the combined created a situation of human and security for the communities and they ended up migrating to other parts. the other aspect is these migrants were not the one sticking the streets for the protest in the country. they were parked in slums,

completely neglected by local authority, and it was already surviving. so the narrative is small, the different levels. and so that has to raise the question, if the time changes is a factor but cleaning it's not a climate change, more than why it should be news. i think it's because if we can turn every conflict that has a global impact, such as the syrian more inter type of change, then we will need more resources for the ministry. any often serves the interests of local dates as well because it will push more development funding and more 8 funding. so there's a whole bunch of self 7 interests that are really driving the site to the climate change co course is conflict more than actually the evidence, even the intergovernmental panel on climate change b i t. c. c at the united nations has been cleared. we kind of jump to climate conclusions when analyzing conflicts. a report in 2022 states, violent conflict and separately migration patterns in the near term will be driven by socio economic conditions and governance. move in by climate change. in other

words, injustice and dictate, has a most significant contribute is to conflict and displacement. there is a valuable discussion investment about how to create an environment for peace, which is a field that doesn't get in any way the same level of resources, resources occurring into. i'm going to try as response to the process of the one key areas investment against what i've seen is climate driven threats. a militarize board is in 2019 astrology. as defense falls, announced that military patrols around australia is waters, could be stepped up to intercept climate refugees, a report commission by the us pen to go on in 2003 on the security implications of climate change. have dis, quick bodies will be strengthened around the country to hold back unwanted starving immigrants from the caribbean islands, mexico and south america. and in europe,

politicians like jordan padilla, president of france is far right, resumed a more national party. have said, boys will be the environment's greatest ally, it is true then we will save the planet of the last 50 years. 63 rules have been built along voters or occupied territory across the world. in fact, 6 out of 10 people in the world live in a nation with one of these board awards. a lot of the migration is internal displacements. there's no migrant who willingly wants to leave. so there's also the assumption that they're dying to come to america or dine to come to the european union. no, therefore, for economic reasons, for political reasons and, and sometimes environmental than the environmental, sort of, intertwined with the solution into political. and i think a lot of these narratives are really embedded in that kind of colonial and often racist attitude. it's that the hordes of savages are out there. and if there's any, suggest it to your impacts and zabel spice. and they will effect are dramatic new

video shows a struggle between border patrol and migrants and el paso. then you're starting to push away from looking at closes injustice to we need to find a way to deal with consequences of it turned out for you, turn to the ministry as the one who can deal with consequences. the actual match migration going from countries in the global sales to the global north. this is a very small but sentence. so there is a big difference between the hyper on climate and migration and the reality. it's hard to escape the web security and discussions about the climate crisis. it's not just for security, this food security border security energy security. ready no one can really argue with what, after all, who doesn't want to be secure. i want to security isn't as benign or simple as it's often presented. often one course of people are made secure at the cost of another group security that could change the security we used in the context,

not just of borders or resources, but a few. i personally support the reference to human security and i would refer to it as climate human security to move away from the national security, militarized, problematic framework. so there are different conceptions of security. the trouble is that the ones that would dominate are the ones i'm most results. and at the moment what we've seen is a mess of increasing ministry spending and national security spending. so what happens then is that the national security idea dominate. it takes away the issues around distribution and justice and focused on stem instead, on increasing and defending an attraction occurring system. the power of the military security framing is so great that those who question it can find themselves targeted with state and power and the retreat bottles. for instance, in 2016 us law enforcement agents used to gas and water cannons,

despite below freezing temperatures. on, on, on going straight is protesting the construction of the keystone oil pipeline on native american land standing bulk in north dakota governments around the world. i've also been proposing and even passing that enables them to crack down on activists branded as eco terrorists in poland. days before hosting called 24 in december 2018 or thirties issued a terrorism award and denied entry to at least 13 foreign climate activists rich to, to attend cooling the security threats. in the philippines, a new 2020 anti terrorism will greatly expand the definition of terrorism to include those who intend to damage public property or interfere with critical infrastructure coming in tactic of environmental groups. it also allow suspects to be arrested without warrant and to change that charges for up to $24.00 days. and

in australia, a stumped in early 2023, in which climate activist episode from a traffic breach, sol, legislation ran through like a problem and days later that would increase funds for public obstruction from 750 $1.00 to $50000.00 or 3 months in jail when active as camp out in blockade, roads for, you know, obstruct the construction of fossil fuel infrastructure. for the most part, they're not harming individuals directly. and on the other end, see governments responding pretty harshly. we can't in the name of protecting infrastructure that is actually harming us. the rest people are per town, their right to protest. that seems to be in instead of going to the values for trying to, to promote and protect. when we talk about the climate crisis, it's important that we separate rhetoric from reality. the corporate military

industrial complex. as a good point, it's messaging thrown around was like written, multiplies the national security imperative there should be taken seriously, but not without a good dose of skepticism. they're a vested interest in the mix, and there's a lot of discussion about the climate damage inflicted by military security for the system. so also we need to remember that the security framework is as much about attracting attention and money to, to militarize solutions as it is about diverting focus from the time it is a comment crisis company, there's all like guns. there's no way we can resolve the climate crisis through building pickles. therefore, we need approaches which are based on international collaboration. we need to look at what is the root cause is of in security for people. and we need to find just ways to help them adapt to climate change. so it's a long whole. but to me now from past experiences, that's situations of crises can be dealt with quite different. and sometimes

a crisis can bring out the best in people. rogers in the west, the a full hails a planet, interrogates while i was thinking about climate change, the way we do this, a global issue is abstract, so whatever i do, it doesn't seem to make a dent. alley re reveals how, with the internet connected into distancing also from the climate crisis. and delane meaningful action as faculty reactions has been both intentionally and unintentionally quite a few ideas to create confusions. if we're confused with the power of psychology and booking climate action on out to 0, the
