9:01 pm
welcome to the program u.n. climate scientists have issued their strongest warning us about the risks associated with rising global temperatures i say we need to take unprecedented steps to avert the worst effects of climate change and that we need to take them now it's a clarion call to leaders around the world including germany who environmental campaigners feel should be doing more. it's not like cycling an easy task for these greenpeace activists but for them it's worth the effort the big banner they're putting up in front of the german embassy in london is a call for germany to face all the use of co similar protests took place just a few days ago in germany which gets around forty percent of its energy from coal authorities struggle to explain why germany is lagging behind when it comes to
9:02 pm
stopping climate change. it's obvious that the time of fossil fuels is at an end and a country like germany that has the technological possibilities should not be a follower rather a leader must and governments need to hurry up say scientists on the un's climate change panel at a conference in south korea to increase the pressure on keeping global warming below one point five degrees celsius instead of to climate change is already affecting people ecosystems and livelihoods all around the world there are clear benefits to keep warming to one point five degrees or just compared to two degrees or higher every bit of warming matters. the goal set out by the powers the code needs to be implemented by twenty thirty but scientists fear we could fail to hit it if we don't act now. one immediate effect of failure would be more global heat waves the resulting droughts would mean poor run huff is impacting the global food

supply and tom in countries that rely heavily on agriculture. other parts of the boat would suffer from an increase in heavy rains and hurricanes these weather patterns combined with pricing sea levels completes more frequent and severe flooding the un's panel says it's the final call avoiding seems like this will be hugely expensive say the scientists but it has to be done and it's still possible if the wote acts now. so who are these experts warning the world about climate change well let's take a closer look at the i.p.c.c. the intergovernmental panel on climate change was founded in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight by the united nations and scientists analyzed studies from across the world in order to present findings on plummet change its possible consequences as well as strategies to fight it in two thousand and seven committee rethink the nobel peace prize for its efforts despite this it has faced criticism from fellow scientists after a scandal known as climategate in two thousand and nine and thousands of leaked

emails caused people to doubt their impartiality. fredricka is not as a climatologist from girl in society policy institute has just returned from the launch of the i.p.c.c. report in show in south korea welcome to day w so how do we convince how do you go about committing governments to reduce global c o two emissions by forty five percent as this reporter asks for to ask them to reduce coal mining to zero when this is going to mean the destruction of voters jobs and communities. well climate protection is about winning the future and what the court clearly tells us that is if we fail to achieve stinton climate protection there's no good future for us as humanity on this planet and at the same time there's a lot of things to win by moving early moving quickly and moving into jobs and renewable energy for example energy efficiency measures that will sustain and
9:05 pm
create a better future for everyone if. you haven't convinced me and. clearly you haven't convinced the german government because that they are still lagging behind because if you're talking about reducing coal to zero that's that's the destruction of whole communities and saying well you'll get more more jobs in technology and in renewable fuels those jobs aren't going to the people who lose their jobs well. partly but look in germany we have like more than fifteen times more people in jobs in the nuba energy than we have in coal and we've lost since the detail fifty thousand jobs in renewable energy nobody has talked about which is way more than current employment in coal in germany so while this initial problem is something that we need to carefully manage and we need to make sure to get people on board it is not the biggest problem the country has and it's certainly in scale compared to jobs that will last and bring you know have a perspective and a future in this country it's a big difference we see countries like the mole deaves who literally sinking
9:06 pm
because of global warming how do you go about convincing the the biggest polluting regions of the world the developed regions of the world like the united states and like like europe how do you convince them that this is their problem and not someone else's well just a link back to this report of distrust in loans it's basically showing climate impacts are hitting home around the globe they're hitting home in particular in tropical countries and the most vulnerable regions but they also hitting home in europe they're also hitting how i think home of the u.s. and it's without doubt that you see climate impacts x. more extreme weather humans droughts floods occurring all all of us know that we've been seeing is it because you talk about it occurring in the u.s. and the u.s. has just left the paris climate agreement so so how do you get actually round that message oh well at the same time you see that basically in the u.s. just to take an example more and more people are worried about the impacts of climate change so the action on the governmental level the federal level is probably not representative for the thinking or hard thinking of the american
9:07 pm
people here if you will take the government not the not the people the people have just elected a man who has taken the country away from paris which is true but at the same time it also takes the people if you want to take stringent climate action it needs to be action on all levels and what you see in the u.s. for example now is of bottom up initiatives up to the state level we just had a california climate summit. giving. california getting themselves that is changing climate targets and this is all about climate action and climate action happening on a different level because the current administration of the us tales their people to protect them from the impacts of climate change and how credible is the report we know that in two thousand and seven the i.p.c.c. claimed that the himalayan glaciers were going to melt away by twenty thirty five this was false we've heard about climate gate why is today's reports from the i.p.c.c. any more i say any more credible than the us i would strongly question the
9:08 pm
claims that the i.p.c.c. has produced. false data or has not been credible it's basically is a report of several thousand pages and they have been mistakes and it's in the response to this two thousand and seven problem they have been an increase in the internal revenue pursuit procedures for this report for example is more than twenty thousand comments have been received and worked in by the authors so it has been meserve lee reviewed by signed to follow scientific community by government representatives so while it is a seven was false that had been reviewed particularly in falls there's been there have been mistakes in the report of several thousand pages was an important difference. and the cited study for example was in the pod which was not directly focused on the impacts of glaciers so the glacier experts of in the i.p.c.c. have not been directly involved in this particular study so i would caution to
9:09 pm
overstate their the i.p.c.c. in his history has failed to inform the world according to the best scientific standards it has not always probably lived up to the standard set out for itself but it certainly has learned a lesson and i would say as one of the biggest reviewing and previewing exercises in the world well the warning has got to let's hope the world listens good talking to thank you for joining us cull fredricka thank you thank you very much. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world french and italian authorities are working to contain an oil spill after two ships collided north of the island of corsica leaking fuel has formed a twenty kilometer slick in the mediterranean no one was injured in the collision between that unity and freighter and the container ship. a vigil has been held in the boat carrying town of rooms in memory of a murder television journalist victoria not in over the thirty year old was raped and killed on saturday but it's uncertain if the attack is connected with the work
