this is the 77 percent. the platform for africa suits these issues and share ideas you know, or this channel. we are not afraid to happen. delicate topic africans population is growing fast. and young people clearly have the solution that future loans for you is 77 percent every weekend on d w ah ah, welcome to global 3000. why retire in the us? many older people would rather keep working university and then want

china's college graduates to 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 is on and in africa has large gas deposits. billions and profit ard 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 has forget the climate

crisis. we cook with it 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 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, thoughts 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 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 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 spark to 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 meantime, 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 in,

but it's cleaner than 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 guest power plant or retrofit acorta plan to run on gas kind of like the industry is showing up here. ah, so 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 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 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. analysts research fun, bloomberg, and yet if you were to plot us carbon emissions from the power sector from 2000 to 2020, the u. s. is probably in the leads in terms of cognitive cognitive 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. if 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 gotta switch yet, josh, that can grapple play a role as i feel like is a bridge view to a d top nice feature. but all of that is only half the story because one big

problem with gas that those in favor of it's don't like to talk about so much. ready simpler speaking, once gas gets extracted from the ground, it goes into a refinery with processed. ready from there, it's distributed usually via pipelines to power stations, homes or businesses. or it gets cooled down and turned into ellen g liquefied natural gas, and then shipped around the world. and at every single one of these steps, methane can escape into the atmosphere. mm methane as a greenhouse gas, that's 80 times more powerful and warming the planet than c o 2 or a 20 year period. it's invisible, but with the help of satellites or very expensive special cameras, it's possible to spotted blue 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 clear 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 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 switch has happened, gas then becomes the problem 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 will lock in gas use long into the future. new instructor thinks the power plant, or elegy genders have a typical lifetime of 30 years. this is avi robbie humor research us how to lower emissions in the energy sector. so when you build a plan right now,

like late 20 to, ah, it's operational life bank will extend to 2015. 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, that is the structure of 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 their 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 said 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's 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, the climate advocacy group that they're, they're locked into this kind of fantasy that their fossil fuel is the one m is okay and, and, and can grow and, and still has room for growth. and that the others will, will, you know, carry the burden of, 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 to an end,

ah, 2 children, one giant problem and molina in on. it was a bit you in by the lady of eager to lay 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 reach 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 job 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, what's the total eligible we want to create a place that's just like the living room in our house, a place to welcome friendless coaching. so what i'll call you like 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 and almost all sectors. the unemployment rate for those aged 20 full and under is at an all time high 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 beard to take away your charge. all of our full time employees are highly educated, too young will surely they'll fit on it. 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 overqualified. black leo, so hung his study 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. they said 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, is hollow a shuttle florida. leo sir 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 gone away either after all, when i see how the number of advertise jobs has dropped in all fields out for. i mean, 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 the 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

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 coined 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 in competition or without to end this 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 you g n means spends 20 hours 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 it, 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 1st year, the word tongue 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. the acquitted king the current situation by yet they have not found an alternative

. they have not think what the can be constructive way of leading a different the way 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, julia hoshal. i think many of them feel large to say well, to add up, are you things, but it depends on how you deal with it or do the pavilion antagonist, the for decades steady growth gave. i won 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 finding a better job. and the prospects are good. as there were around 10000000 job openings and the u. s. and october 2020 to the current jobless rate. as 3.7 percent, most jobs are in the service sector, including restaurants or in healthcare truck drivers are especially sought after all road. okay. just keep if you wanted to rub up black and 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 hard to bring 3 show jumping horses to a tournament. all i get up to 5 in the morning anyway. why didn't

i like bureau really not? after an hour's drive, he arrived at the stables, the rules, his owner is already there. good morning, quartermaster, or if you're on german, t v, off i any. are you good but dr. is a highly sought after 80000 more a needed in the u. s. by 2030, that number is set to double. his asked is going to come in hopefully park next to you. so we can work off the tow truck. so go back there with his mom. i'll do my best to or is this? yes, writ. government for 4 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 bless and get $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 that a lot of done it 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,

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, 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 already takes a picture of the page and sends it to the transport company, which plans his tours according to his calendar. you know, i said every day of 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 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 dolemite in italy again, my motorbike mm . and our global living room this week comes from stain ah

ah, ah ah, when i use it, oh hi, i'm pedro tanya wu, lagrano, the capital of 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 it a for me lucky hima? i live up there above restaurant. i'll show you my rooms with the day. oh, what, what, what is that? i will say. 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 book. you know, i don't like to have too much decoration anyway, but i'll get there eventually. yes. oh see

when he plays mid it will. now here you can see a little marvel. 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 not relative, maddie, it the cat from next door. i haven't met this cat yet, is come back and we'll get to know each other. oh, boy okey, this is my little treasure. i love antiquities and old things. i find them very evocative, healthy. ah, and i think all these things are beautiful. each item has its own story. i'm very happy with them. he was honest, i suppose. mm. oh,

yeah. so now you know me where i live and work all over the. as you can see, it's beautiful here. i urge all of our to discover lagrano for yourselves. it's worth it. that is that boy, liam. i have to go to work now, but i'll wait for you and lagrano. yo, thank you bye. and that's all for man said global 3000 this week. thanks for joining us and send us your views on the program or at global 3000 at d. w dot com and you can visit us on facebook to dw global ideas. see you soon. take care with
