pasco has to bottled gas exports. a desperate search for new providers is on, and africa has large gas deposits. billions and profit are at stake. by 2030, germany helps to obtain 10000000 tons of liquefied natural gas from synagogue alone . but we already know that all fossil fuel extraction comes at a high human, and environmental cost is the energy crisis making us forget the climate crisis. we cook with heat with it, generate electricity with it, and also save the climate with its natural gas. it's versatile and cleaner than other fuels, so it's really become the post the child of politicians, something that we don't have to choose between our environment and our economy. and fossil fuel companies, the cleanest burning fossil fuel. the world needs fuels that are abundant,

affordable, and lower carbon fuels like natural gas. but hang on the minutes, should we really trust the fossil fuel industry that's responsible for half of all industrial greenhouse gas emissions since the industrial revolution to suddenly do what's best for the planet? i'm probably not. so let's drill down and see how environmentally sustainable natural gas really is. oh, broadly speaking, natural gas is a mix of different hydrocarbons. mainly methane. it's found in rock formations deep below the earth's surface, where it formed from the remains of plants and animals over millions of years. we developed techniques to extract it from there and have done so for decade. and global output have constantly gone up ever since. in the early 2, thousands refined processes like fracking allowed companies to access previously untapped reserves, especially in the west,

the world's biggest gas producer. this stock real boom. and behind the boom, there was one big promise that natural gas could clean up the power sector. you burn gas, natural gas buddies meet time, you get half the c o 2 emissions in cole. this is james henderson who lives the gas research program at oxford university. so natural gas still limit c o 2 went burned . it's not entirely clean, but it's cleanup and it's alternatives like coal by generating the same amount of energy. and so the 1st step for many countries is to switch away such as comb, particularly in college and ration. and you can imagine this like switching a color stove for a gas heater just on a much bigger scale. so instead of building a new coal power plant, build a gas power plant or retrofit acorta plan to run on gas, kind of like the industry is showing up here. as

a lot of relatively clean natural gas became suddenly available, it turned into more than just the fuel. it was now a bridge fuel making power economy with less of the carbon pollution that causes climate change. the thinking was this gas could be the bridge between fossil fuel power, past and future power by renewables. up until today, politicians and the industry of pushing this narrative. and that's because it works in this sector in the us. typically, gas has been a boon for the climate. naya is a gas market analyst for research fun, bloomberg, and yet if you work a lot, us carbon emissions from the power sector from 2000 to 2020. the u. s. is probably in the lead in terms of the carbon to the carbonite power and much of that can be attributed to the use of natural gas. it's no surprise them that much of the western world like the u. k. and the you have been following similar strategies,

and there's great potential for natural gas elsewhere. you move to a country like china or india. black coal plays a huge role in the energy economy. they haven't really gone through that told you, gosh, which yet, gosh, that can grapple play a role as i feel like is a bridge view to a detox. nice feature but all that is only half the story because there's one big problem with gas that those in favor of it don't like to talk about so much. ready simply speaking, once gas gets extracted from the ground, it goes into a refinery west process. ready from that, it's distributed usually via pipelines to power stations, homes or businesses, or gets cooled down and turns into l. n. g liquefied natural gas, and then shipped around the world. and at every single one of these steps, me thing kind of came into the atmosphere in me. fine as a greenhouse gas, that's 80 times more powerful and warming the planet than c o 2 over

a 20 year period. it's invisible, but with the help of satellites or very expensive special cameras, it's possible to spotted me. climate change is happening. and natural gas, which is by the way, also called fossil gas. ultimately it's a fossil fuel that will make it well. the science is clear on this. if we want to avoid catastrophic global warming, we need to be reducing the use of gas drastically. not keep expanding it. in countries that still use a lot of coal, particularly in asia, switching to gas can still save emissions. but on a global scale, we need to stop saving it out. that switch from holds a gas candy, you know, one of the initial stages towards reducing emissions. but of course, you know, ultimately as and when that switch is happened, gas then becomes the problem. it becomes the hydrocarbon that emits c o 2 when

burned. in fact, if gas use were to continue to grow as planned, it would be completely out of line with our aim to limit global warming to $1.00 degrees, according to a recent un report. plus every bit of infrastructure we build. now we'll look and gas use long into the future. new instructor, things like power plants or elegy journals. i'll have a typical lifetime of 30 years. this is alvin robbie kuma research is how to lower emissions in the energy sector. so when you build a plan right malik made 22. ah, it's operational light, then we'll extend it 2052. and the question is, you know, we do need natural gas. now we are using natural gas now. like will that natural gas and will danny constructor be useful? 30 years from now. but despite all these warnings, it seems to be pretty much business as usual. a recent investigation by the guardian revealed that oil and gas companies have plans to massively expand that production. again, we put us to the gas industry. the i o g p said using gas to replace coal is

a no brainer. and that it's the job of energy companies to meet demand and the job of governments to change that demand. the agent, you set that gas is critical for an achievable, affordable, sustainable, and secure the carbon ization of the global energy system. they also respectfully disagree that there is no room for more natural gas. that's the thing that the gas industry completely overlooks. this is lauren stockman, who had the research at oil change international climate advocacy group. so they're, they're locked into this kind of fantasy that their fossil fuel is the one m is okay, a and, and, and can grow and, and it still has room for growth. and that the others will, will, you know, carry the burden off of getting us to, to our missions goals. and there's really not a credible climate scenario in which gas can grow. but

bad really begs the question, if we need to use less gas, what should we use instead? well, most importantly, we should tap cleaner energy sources like wind and solar, which are by and large also cheaper. however, we do it, we need to cross the gas bridge sooner rather than later because that's the thing with bridges. they have a beginning and an end ah, 2 children, one giant problem and molina in normally up with the mighty lazy leo figures in delay, food. exactly. how will climate change affect us and our children learn more at d, w dot com slash water. most people need

a job to be able to afford a roof over their head, to buy food, and to take part in social activities. but millions don't have one. the u. n. international labor organization or i l o reports that global unemployment reached 207000000 and 2022, far higher than the pre pandemic level. mm. young people are especially hard hit. the io estimates that about 73000000 young adults had no job in 2020 to 6000000 more than in 20. 19 in china. about one in every 5 young adults is jobless. a consequence of the government's drastic 0 cove at policy and a market that's growing too slowly for college graduates. mm hm. friday evening in beijing tongue tongue is in his element, the home brewed beer is his boss, trademark. the people who come here one time out from the daily grind.

oh sure little how the joyful we want to create a place that's just like the living room in our house. a place to welcome friends, coaching toward the palm. alkali ladiva. solidarity in hard times is the motto here, jobs for young people are scarce at the moment of to, for decades of rapid growth. the economy is faltering in almost all sectors. the unemployment rate for those age 20 full and under. is that an all time high? officially? around 19 percent. many overqualified. this is what tongue tongues bought, often looked like in the summer. stop with no customers to serve. the trained lawyer was only allowed to sell his beer to take away your car. all of our full time employees are highly educated. reasonable, surely don't fit on some have degrees in political science or law from the university of international studies in beijing,

till many young people are doing jobs for which they are very over qualified. black leo so hung, he studied tourism. he was looking for a job for half a year. now he works in a low paid job in a store where young people, me to play fantasy board games doesn't that zebra shaw is from the union zacharon because of covered to her. and especially because of the restrictions her so your, the jobs are really only brings in the bare minimum antello racial horror. lisa hung lives in his grandfather's apartment. so he can make ends meet even with little money. he hopes to improve his chances with another degree certain galway, either after all we, i see how the number of advertise jobs has dropped in our field surviving. i'm sure many of us actually want to go to work after we finish our bachelor's degrees. but

because there are no jobs we keep on studying, they believe that only those who study a lot will find the job is deeply anchored in society. and the number of those who continue on to higher education has risen sharply in recent decades. in 2010, only 24 percent of school leavers went to university each year. now it's about 58 percent. but china now has too many highly qualified graduates and not enough jobs at the max planck institute in hannah, profess it's young b, o is researching china as young people. they live in a vicious circle of competition. in china, a word has even been coin to describe the state, radical exploitative competition. it basically means they're there. you put the more and the more effort and the leslie and it's a very tiring process. but the with no real meaning. and often it referred to

a situation that the you are forced in a pressurized to participate in petition or without to end this end the inside because of the lack of job opportunities many she is to study for another degree. an entire industry has evolved from the eagerness of young adults to continue studying. similar to co working offices, students can rent desks by the hour you gen means spends 20 hours a week poring over his books here. he already has a master's degree in civil law, but because his job is on the line, he wants to improve his chances with another degree in his actual or culture. so it will be exam system is one of the few fare systems here. as long as you put enough work into learning to, you'll be rewarded with good grades. it's more straightforward, easier and fairer than most things in our lives, like work cultures, your daughter,

that often anxiety is the dominant emotion of this generation study, say for the past year, the word 10 pin or lying flat has been making the rounds and china. it's the name of the protest movement against the pressures of constant competition. they are creating their current situation by yet they have not to fund an alternative. they have a not think what the can be constructive way of leading a different the way of of life. time as youth are searching for meaning and social and political engagement is only possible to a limited degree that our colleges, tongue tongue and his colleagues are supported by the sense of community at work that paul wong jr. how short,

i think many of them feel large to say well to adopt how he thinks, but it depends on how you deal with it. or do the pavilion antagonist for decades, steady growth gave everyone a sense of opportunity and hope. but now latest gloomy, economic sick as a hitting the younger generation with full force in the us. there are plenty of job openings right now. but businesses are having a hard time finding workers. many employees quit during the pandemic in the hope of finding a better job. and the prospects are good, as there are around 10000000 job openings and the u. s. and october 2020 to the current jobless rate is 3.7 percent. most jobs are in the service sector, including restaurants or in healthcare truck drivers are especially sought after home road. okay, just anyway,

if you wanted to throw but black and could still be in bed. instead, he's up before dawn heading towards rhode island in the northeastern united states . the 70 year old has been hard to bring 3 show jumping horses to a tournament. all i get up to 5 in the morning. we're here to the whole dinner. i like you're really not after an hour's drive. he arrived at the stables. the horse is owner. is already there. good lord, quartermaster, or you're on german t. v. awesome. but i any, how are you good by dr. is a highly sought after 80000 more a needed in the u. s. by 2030. that number is set to double because asked is going

to come in, hopefully park next to you. so we can work out the 2 trucks, so go back there with his morrow. i'll do my best to work. or is it? yeah, writ, government for years, robert lathan enjoyed his well and retirement. but then his former boss found him looking for help. he was down a driver and couldn't find a replacement. robert heated the call after his wife died, he was lonely. he was at a low point when his boss called, it seemed like fate. ah, empty spending a lot of time at all during the fall, but i needed to get out of that. i found when i went back to work that it gave me of such

a purpose since then he's been driving along america's highways sometimes for days at a time. and he's no exception. more than one point. 5000000 american retirees. we entered the workforce in the past year alone. they fill a huge hole right now there are 2 positions open for every job seeker. in the transport sector, the need for personnel is so great that logistics companies are enticing drivers from 6 figure salaries. robert lesson gets $300.00 a day, but it's not just about the money. my brother asks me all the time. aren't you sick of driving a lot. a lot of john my whole life. how can i stop now? yes, but no. everyone's like him. su, changes from los angeles was

a flight attendant for 40 years, but off to retirement, she couldn't afford to fly any more. like many americans, she depends on a pension, which has financed by shares and the stock market. now the market is low, her pension is worth less, portfolios have diminished considerably. and that does concern. people like me, retirees, because that some money that we planned on leaving on recently the 67 year old started working again in a boutique, at an hourly wage. much less than she's used to. she only needs to work part time. but that could change if a person had to depend on that part time job to supplement their income because of the minimum wage, they probably would have to work quite a few days a week. and you know, so at that point, dell, it becomes at a full time job, not just part time. like

a lot of retirees with like, she says she's faring better than many here. then her lunch break is over. and it's time to go back to work through but blevins received the pension of $2800.00 a month work. he has savings to still, he can use the extra income. he's just invested $10000.00 in new windows and a new garage door. the fireplace is next, his house is paid for, but he still has occasional expenses, such as installing new heating, in good months, he can double his pension by working for the for the air handle installs dryer in his kitchen, he keeps a calendar where he notes his personal commitments such as doctors, appointments, were going to take a picture of the page and sends it to the transport company, which plans his tours according to his calendar. you know, i said everyday as a school where you know was the best thing about working.

now, i'm working on my terms, i'm working when i'm available, not having to go in every day to the on board, you know, to the trucking company and you know, work in 65 hours a week even spends his free time driving going on motorcycle tools to places around the world, he made it all the way to new zealand. another reason why he could use the money i might been driving a tractor trailer for close to 40 years. probably 3000000 miles. i can't tell you how many miles i ever motorcycles or even cars and pickup trucks. i just like to move robert bluff and wants to work until he's 80 and then fulfill a lifelong dream. to cross the dolemite in italy again by motorbike

with and our global living room this week comes from stain ah ah ah ah. when are you submitted? oh hi. i'm pedro and wound lagrano the capital of the latter yo province. this is laurel street, the center of labrono. it's very unusual to see it. this quiet things will lighten up later. lagrano is a beautiful city, the perfect place to live and are definitely worth of is a very lucky fema. i live up there above restaurant. i'll show you my rooms

with the day. oh, when i come up with it. so as you can see, it's a bit plain. i haven't had much time to decorate an all wheel. yo, i run a beautiful florist shop that takes up a lot of my time in both. you know, i don't like to have too much decoration anyway, but i'll get there eventually. eunice. oh, we'll see. when he put he's made it. now here you can see a little marvel homelessness. i took some begonia cuttings, but the incredible thing is this, that the new shoots are coming out of the bottom of the stem. the plant does it out, but i don't think i've ever seen this. nature is amazing and at the relative manny it the cat from next door. oh no, no, no,

i haven't met this cat yet is come back and we'll get to know each other. oh, boy no. okay, this is my little treasure. i love antiquities and old things. i find them very evocative, healthy ah, in i think all these things are beautiful. each item has its own story. i'm very happy with them. he was to finish that process. mm hm. oh, yeah. so now you know me where i live and work all over with. as you can see, it's beautiful here. i'll urge all of our to discover lagrano for yourselves, and i think it's worth it. that is that boy, liam? i have to go to work now, but i'll wait for you and lagrano. see you thank you bye. and that's all from us at global 3000 this week. thanks for joining us and send us your views on the program. we're at global 3000 at d, w dot com,
