china's college graduates worry about their future and could liquefied natural gas be the solution to the global energy crisis. russians invasion of ukraine has triggered an energy crisis, especially in europe. for decades, many e u member states came to depend on cheap natural gas from russia. but moscow has throttled gas exports. a desperate search for new providers as on and africa has large gas deposits. billions and profit are at stake. by 2030 germany hopes to obtain 10000000 tons of liquefied natural gas from senegal 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? ah,
12:32 pm
we cook with heat with it, generate electricity with it, and also save the climate with it. natural gas is versatile and cleaner than other fuels, so it's really become the post the child of politicians proving that we don't have to choose between our environment and our con and fossil fuel companies, the cleanest burning fossil fuel, the world needs fuels the, are abundant, affordable and lower carbon fuels like natural gas. but hang on a minute. 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.
12:33 pm
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 develop techniques to extract it from there and have done so for decades. and global output has 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 specter real boom. and behind this boom, there was one big promise that natural gas could clean up the power sector. if you burn gas, natural gas that is maintenance. ah, you get half the c o 2 emissions of burning co. this is james henderson who leads the gas research program at oxford university. so natural gas still emits c o 2 when burned. it's not entirely clean, but it's cleaner than alternative, like coal,
12:34 pm
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 guest, how a plant or retrofit occult tower plan to run on gas kind of like the industry is showing up. as a lot of relatively clean natural gas became suddenly available, it turned into more than just a 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
12:35 pm
a gas market. the analysts research fun, bloomberg, and yet if you work a lot, us carbon emissions from the power back there from 2000 to 2020. the u. s. is, is probably in the lead in terms of the carbon to the cognitive power and much of that can be attributed to the use of natural gas. it's not surprised 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 to india flat. coal plays a huge role in the energy economy. they haven't really gone through that tells you gotta switch yet. gosh, that can grapple play a role as a cleaner fuel. he's like, is a bridge due to a d carbonite feature, but all of that is only half the story because there's one big problem with gas that those in favor of it's don't like to talk about so much. lou. ready simply
12:36 pm
speaking, once gaskets extracted from the ground and goes into a refinery, west processed. ready from there it's distributed usually by a pipeline. ready to power stations, homes or businesses, or it 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, methane can escape into the atmosphere methane 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. that's with the help of satellites or very expensive special cameras. it's possible to spotted. climate change is happening. and natural gas, which is by the way, also called fossil gas, ultimately is a fossil fuel that will make it worse. the science is here on this. if we want to avoid catastrophic global warming, we need to be reducing now use of gas drastically not keep expanding it in
12:37 pm
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 start phasing it out. that switch from tulsa, gas can be one of the initial stages towards reducing emissions. but of course, you know, ultimately as and when that switches happen, 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 plans, 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, plant, or elegy, genders have a typical lifetime of 30 years. this is alvin robbie humor research us how to lower emissions in the energy sector. so when you plan right now, it's a $22.00,
12:38 pm
it's opperation lifetime will extend to 2050. and the question is, you know, we do need natural gas. we are using that natural gas structure be useful. so 2 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 this to the gas industry. the i o g p said using gas to replace coal is a no brainer. that it's the job of energy companies to meet demand at the job of government to change that them on the edge. and you said that gas is critical for an achievable, affordable, sustainable, and secure the carbon evasion of the global energy system. they also respectfully disagree that there's no room for more natural gas. that's the thing that the gas industry completely overlooks. this is lauren stockman,
12:39 pm
who had the research at oil change international climate advocacy group that they're locked into this kind of fantasy that their fossil fuel is the one that is okay and can grow and still has room for growth and that the others will, will carry the burden of getting us to, to our mission goals, and there's really not a credible climate scenario in which gas can grow. but that really backs 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 end to end. ah, 2 children,
12:40 pm
one giant problem and manila in on epicene a mighty lazy leo. vickers delayed 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 ilo estimates that about 73000000 young adults had no job in 2020 to 6000000
12:41 pm
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 job market that's growing too slowly for college graduates. 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 or was it, it's a little holiday for what we want to create a place that's just like the living room in our house. a place to welcome friends, quoting for the palm alkali lydia. solidarity in hard times is the motto here. jobs were 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 24 and under is that an all?
12:42 pm
and hi, officially, around 19 percent. many are over qualified. this is what tongue tongues ball often looked like in the summer star 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 to youngel. surely don't fit on some have degrees and 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 super child in any good news 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 florida. leo sa 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 13 gone away either after all, when i see how the number of advertised jobs has dropped in all fields. i'm driving, 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, the belief that only those who study a lot will find a job is deeply anchored in society. yet 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
12:44 pm
. at the mux plank institute in hannah professor, it's young. b, o is researching china's 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 the, you're 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 that you petition a without to end the end the inside. because of the lack of job opportunities many to is to study for another degree and 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 u g. n

. 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, the tower collider tongue tongue and his colleagues are supported by the sense of community at work. the powwow toyota chart. i think many of them feel lost. he'll say well to adopt how he thinks, but it depends on how you deal with it. or do the pollyanna dagger as the go. for decades, steady growth gave everyone a sense of opportunity and hope. but now the latest gloomy economic figures are 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
12:47 pm
finding a better job. and the prospects are good, as there were around 10000000 job openings in the u. s. in october 2022. 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 on road dusky way, if he wanted to rob blackland could still be in bed. instead, he's up before dawn heading towards rhode island in the northeast in united states . the 70 year old has been hired to bring 3 show jumping horses to a tournament. all i get up to 5 in the morning or so.
12:48 pm
i like bureau really not. after an hour's drive he arrived at the stables. the horse is owner, is already there. good morning. we get more master. you're on german t v. awesome. but i any. how are you? good back. 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 off the truck. so go back there with my room. i'll do my right to her, or is this? yeah, great. them before years, robert levin 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,
12:49 pm
he was lonely. he was at a low point when his boss cooled. 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 as 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
12:50 pm
every job seeker. in the transport sector, the need for personnel is so great that logistics companies are enticing drivers with 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 so not a lot of job my whole life. how can i stop now? but not everyone's like him to 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 is 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's the money that we planned on leaving on recently,
12:51 pm
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 then 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 blessone receives a 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,
12:52 pm
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, where joe, all right, he takes a picture of the page and sends it to the transport company, which plans his tours according to his calendar. you know, i sent every day to school there. you know, what's 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 office or you know, to the trucking company and you know, work and 65 hours a week. he didn't spend 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
