couldn't finish up, but it must be too much. we have one or 2 players in the squad who have already won the title. self confidence is always good and that's of course how i'll go into the european championship with mon, you then and the training camp. the spectators were still locked out. however, $14000.00 fans will be allowed in germany's 1st european championship game against france. they'll be on home turf in munich. this'll add even more motivation for love and his team as they pursue the european championship type. you're up to date, thanks for watching. ah. the news. it's been ongoing quest for the future in the spring began in 2011 people stood up against corrupt,

rulers and dictatorship. all these moments have left the box and my memory. they had hoped for more security, more freedom, more dignity, have their hopes for 10 years after the arab spring. and rebellion starts june 7th on d, w. we're all on line all the time, streaming, chatting or checking social media at the same time. many of us worry about climate change. so how much to our digital lifestyles, damage the environment and can apps and tech help us manage climate, change climate protection and digital lifestyle? can we have both? that's our topic today on shift me the

a single google search use us as much electricity as burning an energy saving lightbulb for 5 minutes. about point 31 hours. currently, the internet account for more than one percent of the world's electricity consumption. that may not sound like that much, but it is, in fact or internet use consumes more electricity per year than canada of $35000000.00 population. and most of the power is used to do exactly what you're probably doing right now. streaming videos, the internet consumers more than $500.00 tara, what hours of electricity a year, and almost 80 percent of the streaming videos on netflix youtube video. similar platforms to use less data and that by an tricity we should download content instead of streaming. it's multiple times watching the regular tv broadcast uses even less and

a gene. you can also save electricity by playing videos level resolution. and if you're watching on your phone, you hardly noticed the difference in. finally turning off your camera during the video conferences can save up to 90 percent of c o 2 emissions. but how much of a difference can that make when other parts of our digital lives are consuming more and more energy like bitcoin? in mid april, the crypt currency hit a record high of more than 50000 zeros. even more miners on our hunting for coins, the sort of farms are expanding and all the miners are in a race against each other. because whoever is the fastest gets the new bitcoin, this consumes so much energy that these days entire power plants are being run. just her mind bitcoin. this power plant in siberia used to belong to a nickel smelter and is now being used for a bitcoin server far over in the us state, new york, this old coal power station was revised and converted to gas. so lead to provide

a bit coin farm with the energy it's estimated that at present the global bitcoin block chain uses around $110.00 tara watt hours a year, which is roughly equal to the netherlands electricity consumption. the climate researcher, you will not turn down this, this has become a societal issue. the crypt currencies like bit coughing, all ready require lots of computing power. and just they grow so to do their energy and some of that. so isn't this also a dangerous development for the climate? we need to look for a tentative that use less energy. maybe a crypto currencies also need to become cleaner. 70 percent of all bitcoin mining takes place in china where cold generated or is cheaper than chinese bitcoin mines alone produce more c o 2 every year than the whole of denmark. this troubled china

government and it also bothers in may, must tweeted, he was suspended, tesla purchases with bitcoin, and fed tesla mates. hark with a massive coin collection. this probably cost the price of the trip, the currency to nose die from around $50000.00 euros to under $35000.00 euros. if bitcoin is going to be greener, it needs to use renewable energy. but it's that even realistic considering how much electricity bit current uses it's competitor, if theorem is going another way, rather than having all computers in the network check transactions at the same time as bit kind of they are working towards having single computers through the verifying this could save up to 99 percent of the energy use. of course not all tech harms or planet, some can even help us understand climate change better. like in an article,

this robot uses big data to protect marine life. the battery powered glider collect data on the iceberg. 868. hey. and transfers it try us. not tonight. when it broke away from on talk to her in 2017. a 68 a was one of the biggest iceberg ever recorded since december 2020. it's been melting in the south atlantic. the robot measures the effects, the melting ice is having on solidity temperature, chlorophyll levels. this will help us understand how melting icebergs affect water quality and thus marine life. one important consequences of climate change is that the water surrounding me on the soft tick is get on warm. this could really accelerate the melting of places, which in turn leads to rising sea levels. so we need to understand these processes better. that's why the data from this region, even if we don't have much of it, that is really important, ah,

in the u. k. trim is like the help them on this river conditions. with that high resolution images, they can accurately document changes in a flow. of course, and in a fraction of the time to take to do a field study, ah, researchers and work with the images to assess the effects climate change is having rivers, which also helps plan flooding protection. research teams, mapping the indian ocean. never se shells i hoping that work will provide an ocean health check the depth of the ocean and it's my diversity remain largely a mystery. now, marine researches are using so not to map the ocean floor. misha, owens catalog the animal world that they are working with high tech submarines remote controls, vehicles and 15 different camera system to create details. 3 d math or

the data is being processed by artificial intelligence. a good example of how digital technology can protect rather than harm the climate and tech isn't just helping us collect and evaluate data. it technique combining a i with 3 d printing is helping to repair the damage. climate change has cost in our oceans just off to pounds, or canola research is covering data to create virtual reading levels of coal reefs . this is what center model looks like. the scientists have algorithms and software examined the virtual reefs. and i can then help construct alt official co reefs which closely resemble the natural structure. the largest alt official coal re from the world to date is constructed of the movies, where hundreds of 3 d printed structures of in fast into the ocean floor. living

calls were planted on the ceramic and concrete model. the world's carl systems have been severely damaged by climate change and the hope is that 3 d printer. greeks can help preserve or even help system is recover. but corals can only survive if the oceans don't get even warmer. and although the international community signed the paris climate agreement, which seems to limit global warming to $1.00 degrees celsius, but the year tooth $100.00 right now, it doesn't look like we're keeping this goal. some say if there are alternatives such as geo or climate engineering, these are technologies that intervene and our planet cycles. computer models exist of how these could help reduce the seo to getting into the atmosphere, or stop too much sunlight reaching the earth. here's how they work. the airplanes could disperse millions of terms of so here it acid in the stratosphere,
11:25 am
the cell for what combined with water vapor and create error cells which reflect a part of the sun's rays. so that the atmosphere underneath ones up less. but we don't know what long term effects such an intervention would have. just kind of looking to matter if it could have dramatic effect. it could disrupt the monsoon or other large whether phenomena, we could see significant drowns slugs or other events. these technologies are untestable by attention and one area of research that has been pushed for years in carbon capture. and now there are several technologies intended to filter c o 2 out of the atmosphere and counteract global warming. thousands of c o 2 collectors would extract the gas from the atmosphere or filter it out from power plant chimney's. this would relieve the atmosphere of c o 2 and help curtail global
11:26 am
warming. the filter at c o 2 could be stored indefinitely and former natural gas facilities like in this pilot project. in iceland, however, there are, i'm answered questions surrounding this technology to but it's the size. the question with c o 2 storage is whether you can store the seo to where it's been captured the size. because unless you store it where it's being captured, you have to transport it, which is very energy intensive. you engineering radical, it alters nature, and the consequences are still very much unknown. so before we find ourselves, depending on it, we should do a bit more for a planet ourselves. and there are apps that help we can all do something to help protect our planet. one possibility is using environmentally friendly search engines, like because the company has helped plumps more than 100000000 trees, more searches, some more trees planted. here was another browser extension selects money to help

clean up the ocean. with the german plate plastic, you can scan barcode of items packed in the loss of plastic. some get re enroll, tentative database currently contains mostly or be in products, but more being added replace listing available for ios. and android also was massively creates an email template that you can send the manufacturer to let them know you think that the packaging is walle. can such measures really help save climate? those who want to test the impact can register for a simulated climate time travel to to start soon. scientists hope the online games kiara will prove educational by which card do i draw? how much do i travel i so on the bike in the simulation didn't see the effects this has on climate change to died. there was also tomorrow, under 100,

you can see the package you can have as an individual or is a crude. and we can all learn about our behaviors. consequences. researchers could also find out who would be ready to do what from gamers, which could lead to viable policy and business recommendations. but let's get back to our initial question. how good or bad are our digital lifestyle for the environment? i think the answer isn't clear, but i'm definitely going to pay more attention to my environmental footprint. and if you think about it, we can will have a big impact with little effort. some people worry, we've lost the fight against global warming and think fleeing to another planet could be an option. it must have plans to slide to mars with a rocket, which we've explained on our youtube channel, check it out to find out why mars can substitute the earth as our home. that's all for me for today by and see you next time. ah,

ah. the 77 percent on this week 3 was yet to find out why is that young people seem very not interested when it comes to quality like the president or participate? if you look meaningfully, participation, people must understand. i'm looking for this to do this. no one is going to election because percent next $100.00 present evolution theory present emission. a rocket even between a motorcycle and an a bike with an ac kilometers. our me read
