carlos playoff and maria to listen be on as of movies from around the world will be screened including the italian drama hidden away. so. there's always time for this is did every news live from the land we have a more are coming off on climate change you did have the documentary displaced the climate exits i brian thomas thanks for being. with. it's all happening coach of british africa coming. to link to news from africa and the world your links to exceptional stories and discussions to no one will come to their views after clearing program tonight from funny to me from the news of easy town while with safety deputed called smash africa join us on

facebook at g.w. africa. the global climate is changing faster than expected and the effects are already plain to see too much water from storms and flooding is driving people from their homes. elsewhere too little water is robbing people of their livelihoods all this could produce the largest wave of migration in human history up to a 1000000000 people may be displaced by climate change in this century initially most will be poor people in the global south even as the wealthy north seal's its borders.

it's true that means humans are causing climate change says it's real and it exists tonight on lying to themselves and. they believe it was a sight even babies and they can see and feel the effects of it in their surroundings they can feel the effects of climate change. in the philippines the future has already arrived tropical storms flooding and heavy rains are striking at ever shorter intervals and growing in intensity. climate change is the worst creation to be produced i ask me she's.

in that house humans have created some climate change and. james. and more and more people are on the run from it if sea levels rise to the extent that scientists have predicted then by 2030 millions of people on the coasts worldwide will be in acute danger. the densely populated coastal regions of asia will be most affected. been long gone is an island district on the bay of manila. here water is already eating away at the land . every year this community has been sinking 4 to 6 centimeters deep into the sea. and. residents have to rebuild their houses on the rooftops of their old sunken

homes. you know. it's about the only. one scares me the most about this steady seem to rise is that someday we won't even see the roofs anymore alice that is not an. entire houses will vanish. at the same time will keep trying to build up the ground through land reclamation. the moon. george the manja who goes by joe joe is captain of the communities rescue vessel he's been homeless for years now since the rising water made his house unlivable he's been sleeping at his workplace.

joe joe doesn't come here much anymore after the water began to destroy the home his wife took their son and left at high tide everything here is something. until the water was knee deep here. we had to stir things in higher places to keep them saying. not so much ask you to want to reach the bed. then we had to wait for it to subside before we could sleep . now passe and by this was a happy home but i mean we usually have visitors friends relatives. would all be together inside this house chatting and sharing meals and sometimes drinking. we said no money.

now it makes me sad to think about this house abandoned that they couldn't malign. jo-jo dreams of restoring his house but at the moment he doesn't have enough money . many families have been torn apart by young people move away to seek work in 2811 an estimated 3800000 people in the philippines fled from storms are natural disasters. and world wide most refugees are internally displaced in their own countries. in the end everyone in pain long gone will be driven out by climate change. the dead can no longer people here they have to be taken to the mainland.

there are still 6000 people living here in cramped quarters. been a long gun is sinking due to erosion and rising sea levels. now like it or you can see the extent of environmental destruction in the life of people invent along on is bound up with the water around us. sea levels are rising worldwide as the temperature of the atmosphere increases causing ice at the poles to melt.

that increase is due to the rise in greenhouse gas emissions especially carbon dioxide c o 2 it's released when we burn coal oil and gas industry heating and cars. the biggest c o 2 and metals are the big industrial nations above all china and the united states .

when the average outlets actually i've seen big changes here come back when i was 15 or 20 years old during the rainy season was normal in maine tonsure line you know that with starch but now we get frustrated i just go. in the past we didn't have those problems mine. i can find the changes i was the rainy season is coming later and at the same time we keep having cold snaps. and the know we have long periods yeah it rained on monday as something from that let's say yeah and then sunday we have too much rain. grew up here in the highlands of guatemala. she's grown potatoes all her life but

in recent years things have changed. this little plant and as you can see she isn't strong enough to survive if we can't use it for seeds or potato production it's a loss in sydney. every year drought and frost destroy many potato plants which is all her family grow on their fields. in guatemala's western highlands most people are small scale farmers and 3 quarters of them live in poverty during the rainy season from may to october the countryside changes from dusty and dry to lush and green for people are this would be the most trouble free part of the year if only rainfall patterns were like they used to be thanks.

thank you. brenda actually yeah man it's not it is so important for us as a community because we have no natural beauty salsas so we depend on the rainfall was her last again just that's why we buy potato years and canisters to catch them i would. say. but yeah well the summer cannons that's the only way to store a bit of water and that it's very important for our communities and our plantations that struck us a year. without water we can do nothing but. around half the residents of toddlers sometimes have gone to the united states after every drought and more and more leave most of the men are now working in the us. every month they send a few $100.00. to last house was built with us dollars. the

family also uses the money to pay the installments on the low make took out to finance the trip and the people smugglers. like most here and her family are mom and indigenous mayan people people our lives together with her children and grandchildren. if. you think. you. are. the last husband emigrated 3 years ago they now make their decisions together over the phone. here that it's a my hands and how it would be very difficult when i know how this fails or lose

all our money look at that my husband didn't send money we wouldn't get by and it's not just this one piece of land we have more land where the harvests have failed without his help we lose a lot of money is that the. as an illegal immigrant her husband could be deported from the us at any time so he doesn't want to be maimed. knows that migrants from central america are no longer welcome in the united states. we need cameras we need things that we're going to be putting in and we need to

bring we need to stop it drugs are the human drug we need. you know it's really difficult to when you think of donald trump what he believes and he's he's so contradictory and in so many different scenarios for a and you're going to build up this wall but you're you're saying on twitter climate change is a hoax as climate change has asked for bates other things that are going on it's definitely coming either a secondary or primary reason why people are leaving and their answer of course is that story. of building up a border wall building. what we see before us right now. there's still no deeply accepted definitions of terms such as climate refugees even though the world bank predicts that mexico and central america will have at least

1400000 internal climate migrants and with the next 30 years and many more who will migrate abroad. the number of guatemalan migrants registered at the southwest us border has quintupled in the past 3 is. taught me is a mole for who writes about security policy on climate change he's been observing developments at the u.s. mexican border for years. if you go along the 2000 mile us mexico border there's about 650 miles of either walls or barriers of some sort there's all kinds of technologies billions and billions of dollars and technologies from high tech cameras cameras that can see 7 miles away radar systems drones there's a fleet of approximately 10 drones. there's other things that you see in u.s.

military operations there's been a lot of these kind of transfers from zones abroad to here. now the united states has a new conflict zone on its own doorstep it's a crisis that the u.s. and other industrial nations have helped to create. there $700.00 times more carbon emissions from the united states since $900.00 than . el salvador and honduras combined 700 times more yet this is like this this is a country that's that's that's fortifying as a borders from people who are obviously impacted by those sorts of excessive amounts of emissions and and i think how could that be possible i mean we've known about the science for so many years and we have more than ever before but the same time there's more border walls than ever before to you like it's like this emphasis

like this is kind of adaptation for the richer countries. when does he the ramos arrived in arizona 80 years ago there was no reception center for migrants. but he still waiting for a permanent residence permit. to go see him the always feel like a guatemalan. i don't feel american because that's where i come from and i'll only be here for a while sponsors yeah i don't have a green card yet but what can i do no matter what i'll always be quite a model and. c c c c c c

doug has a work permit that has to be renewed every 2 years even if you want to be expelled what he's achieved here is something that many back home can only dream of and he earns enough to help support his family in guatemala. he grew up there his parents farm as one of 9 children. discoursed. i didn't enjoy my childhood all that much. but it was an ordinary childhood. we grew up working. my brothers work with my father my sisters with my mother. your 1st. then i started to look for a way to earn a living and how i could continue my studies. so i got a job in a workshop. not yet.

here in the us he works as a freelance gardener. his mother. it's very different from guatemala isn't a lot of growers in the hot season it's them even though there's hardly any water in this. arizona has a desert climate and a severe lack of water life here is only possible thanks to water pipe from a far away colorado river. but the cities of phoenix and tucson still use the resource wastefully. they counted among the least sustainable cities in the world. hundreds of thousands of liters of water go into keeping close courses in the deserts green. first. it's

a different life here they have more ways of treating the water and we don't have that in guatemala and i can't judge if that's fair or unfair things are more advanced air. when you look at their houses and they're not wasting water or using it for their plants and since they have money they can pay for as much water as they. don't need says someday he'd like to live like his clients in his own house with a god and. to achieve that goal he works 6 days a week. for us it's just. the thank you thank you. thank so much. thank you.

he just turned $65.00 cash for an hour of gardening. keep. eating meat. does he married a guatemalan woman in the us she comes from the same height and region as he does. he lives here in a trailer park with his wife and daughter. would want to own.

up on. that. on sundays likes to drive out into the desert the hills remind him of home. he'd like to go back to guatemala someday to see his family but without a green card he wouldn't be able to reenter the u.s. is. that is it makes me sad is that it's tough to be separated from your family but all the love for me. is there over there and only i'm here. but what can you do for them also set us down the we're separated out not because we want to be but because we are forced to be by necessity. over there you can't make ends meet but

a lot of some. authors . may. not. let. her live. and not told. at the club. where. but you know. who you. know on the island here as long as this will remain it's been a long gone the remaining they no longer. yet. have. conditions in the ocean are changing the fisherman a catching less and less they can hardly on

a profit nowadays. almost every family has at least one member who's left been long gone. and i mean michael leaving here they come to work overseas or in the not that a mouse may need. as far as i can tell the water level here and be no one gonna continue to rise. we'll continue to build it up to reclaim our beloved neighborhood. the people have been a long gone but this place vanished beneath the white house would you.

not everyone here believes that the community can be saved. every day joe joe's neighbor melody finds her house flooded. not up in a month saying bungled i mean my dream of settling in another place not here but my husband jay is from here and he doesn't want to leave i want to reach a friend of mine and find about us again but jake comes from here and he won't leave this place is the. plan is that it gives us a. clue was that. a lot of old blokes. going to do you make somebody do. so by. the number

1300 sites all on. and i don't know how and then. what they did it. all. more or less. there if you got. i love. that. line. you. know. you. want them to lose your view of. the immediacy of. the debate i know what i'm going to be there are plenty of indications. for example to get warnings on the radio and on the television. when

a strong time food is approaching and we start tying down the roofs. though not that i need to tie them down so they won't be blown away by the land. and we usually buy supplies before the storm so that we have something to eat the basics but i got it while the storm sweeps through the village and on the last hour you. buddy oh. they don't allow good. from typhoons to storms extreme weather has grown more frequent in recent years scientists still don't know to what extent this rise is connected to human induced climate change. and he claims you look at that supposedly a victim of climate change no there are a victim of lack of freedom they have very little capability and so yeah everything sucks including the climate sucks but not to put more c

o 2 in it is just because life sucks when you're a human being on a difficult planet with very low capability so for example if you look at the us we have every form of climate imaginable we have a polar climate in alaska we have like swampy florida of all the way of california where i live which i think is the nicest climate but we all have life expectancy. over 75 why because when human beings are sufficiently capable they can adapt to and even master any climate versus when they have very low capability when they're in primitive and poor societies they can't deal with anything so i think one of the big things that's misplaced in the climate session is there's not enough focus on how do we increase human capability. i mean energy philosopher which means i try to help people think more clearly about energy and environmental issues. alex epstein is widely known as a climate change skeptic at least 13 percent of americans share his views on global

warming a higher proportion than in any other western country epstein advises the oil companies on how to sell their products better also using climate denial arguments people have a very deep seated fear of changing our environment and i think that causes that when when we change our environment through fossil fuels through say having a warming influence on climate i think people tend to exaggerate and get overly fearful versus looking at it proportion. since the 19th century the u.s. has burned more comb oil and natural gas than any other country the current administration has refused to take responsibility for that and in 2019 officially gave notice that the u.s. is withdrawing from the paris climate agreement. that's bad news for the countries in the global south that already the ones most affected by climate change and are

least able to deal with the impact. i think it's been great for us to have a lot of energy but also it's been amazingly positive for the poorer parts of the world that we've used all this energy so what's happened is we have been spending decades and decades and decades think. about how to improve life including things like medical discoveries that have then been shared in large part with the poor parts of the world so there's a certain air of that a we've made people's lives worse but no the wealthy world has made in so far as they've created all of this innovation has made everyone's lives better so i don't think we should feel guilty about it and i think we should be very proud i think that humanity there are a lot of problems but we life has never been better and earth has never been a better place to live and i think most people if they think about it would agree i don't think they would want to go back to 50 years ago or 100 years ago.

in the arizona desert scientists at the biosphere 2 experimental station or trying to find out how to model and perhaps aid the earth's major ecosystems. the biosphere started out as the world's largest ecological experiments ever conducted with a closed or controlled environment to try to replicate earth systems and to better understand that. the earth is truly unique and we know that that uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive and if those conditions change so much so it could definitely threaten or it will threaten our survival and so i

think understanding what those potential implications are before they actually play out are crucial. the research center houses 7 model ecosystems it's a unique place where on the close to real world conditions it's possible to test how natural systems will respond to extreme environmental change the. can control the climate and measure how the ecosystem reacts. in the model rain forest an international team of scientists are studying what happens when there's less rain. and i monitor this has been the unique thing is that in the biosphere we can control the entire forest and we can decide when it will rain and how much and if we're measuring how the tropical rain forest responds when it's still in its normal

state as well and then we're going to initiate a long drought and see how the ecosystem behaves as it was a steam ahead. so fired once it gets dry at the rate of photosynthesis goes down we want to know at what point a system like this reaches its limits seem although. it's important to know what will happen in the world's forests in the future. trainees store c o 2 the climate gas that causes this atmosphere warming which arises from the combustion of fossil substances song and i'll just take it up during photosynthesis and have it fired say in us that's what we see around the world is that up to 30 percent of the emissions that we put into the atmosphere can be taken up again by forests so they act as a huge buffer that helps mitigate the climate effect without them it would be much

worse off usually among scientists 1st warned about global warming decades ago but it took years for the message to even begin to sink him. today it's apparent that the climate is changing faster than scientists have predicted. but at the end of the day we all inhabitants of earth and so what happens here in the u.s. or what happens in europe or asia at some point is going to end all of us so i think it behooves all of us to recognize that we are seeing changes that those changes have impacts on ecosystems on resources and we are dependent on those systems exist and so again if they change so dramatically it is going to impact us and potentially if we're not able to adapt we will no longer survive.

seeking help to define the extrusion whether potatoes are her livelihood now she's lost not only a large part of the harvest but has too few seeds huber's for planting next year a seed bank helps farmers like. a sailor they. love the series and is thought that in the lead up ways. he hardly you know what. are you doing up really you know as i can see you 53 domestic potato varieties grow in the fields here the seed bank gives. this in return she'll have to give up some of her next harvest.

it's up up. yeah. a fundamental operative collects and stores seeds from local. crops that way local growers can obtain seeds if need be so when the next drought hits they're less likely to have to give up their farms and leave. in some villages here half the population has already come to the us. rescue most fun cars must ghost neighbors is what the owners of these are not to buy houses are called they live in the us but send money home to build their

american style dream houses for when they return to. the cemetery and toss some cause. also has tales of migration to tell. american flags decorate the graves of those who died as immigrants in the u.s. . in the. when her husband left 3 years ago he made that decision together. they knew they wouldn't see each other again for many years. and when. they come i know that he's far from home and we're a long distance apart. but i

also know that we did it because things are very hard here with actual ups of it took months to let it the konstam and i know in my heart that this is just and will not ruin our relationship. i know my husband will come back. up at. least 3 times that it's difficult. because. scientists agree that climate change can no longer be stopped but its magnitude will depend on whether people are prepared to radically alter their lifestyles. as i drive myself right and they see all the cars that are going back and forth and 3 lanes of traffic 4 lanes of traffic and i think that is

a person that's aware of the kind of climate crisis and i and you think oh is there any progress being made and all you have to do is go out on the main avenues and think you know like i don't know if i turn on the television i don't know how many times i'm told by a car i'm buying you know i want hand there's a climate crisis right there and then the other hand i've always been told been told to buy the new car a new car a new car. i mean as you look around the world it's all adding up it's the stresses put on upon people are getting worse and worse. i think what the world needs to be looking at is we're going to have people on the move right this is there something set in motion that cannot be stopped like there's going to be places that can no longer be lived in and now this idea of a boar bordered world is an idea of exclusion where certain people have access and others do not and and we have to instead start thinking or old of where there's

going to be a lot of people on the move and how can we how can we begin to understand that and maybe make it probably make or begin to at least forge a sort of new world where for those people will be more welcome. reasoning and i'm going to give people but i sometimes dream of the deluge. of people stopping news because they did not have a gold saloons he punished the home won't. be that good i'm going to promise that he would not do the same thing again and. if you look at what's happening now it's happening slowly but in different places and i think it's the same scenario hoover again i love that that may have been the. going to but in a scenario. jo-jo might soon find himself

a climate migrant if sea levels keep rising not just his home but the entire island district could be submerged. how long that might take nobody knows. the. little stood there and. i don't like what's happening. especially because generations. i pity those children hardly grow out about experiencing the beauty of. when they're in the bottom. i don't know if we continue on this path. won't be able to do anything about climate change.

in the highlands of guatemala but descendants of the maya believe that the global climate is out of kilter because humans have lost their respect for. planet. and i depends on us. to say that if we conserve and care for the tree we'll have a chance of surviving. but if we continue like we're doing now and cut down the trees the future for our children will be very hard and sad at that. thank god we still have water and trees and can survive. but if we continue to destroy nature and here. in the future people will have nothing. if you are trying to act. and facts. or are.
