yes, wilson's to look, deterioration, gross must the end of a superpower. the collapse of the soviet union rushes more in ukraine. one year since the invasion began. we take a look back at the 4th and into the future. in the new slow rain. in february on d, w t i picked to fill out a campus publishing houses in whole 300 divided by julian backhouse is headed to frankfort. with a staff member there traveling by private jet vince

warned, hung a party. public transport is pretty gross. at the moment you sharing a cabin with snotty nosed people, coughing every waka, i avoid it as much as i can. so zaden viez located. it's a short trip from vent hoffman to frankfurt. just about 500 kilometers. traveling by private jet may be convenient, but it certainly does the climate no favors. i care about climate change. i don't think about it much. vince if everyone behaved like you and flew as often as you do done with it, then it wouldn't work. but luckily, the population is split into different groups, dime, part of the small fraction that can get away, but it doesn't all. private jets, fast cars. yeah. generally the richer people are,

the more they contribute to global warming in their lives. the od huffman, in the last few years, we've seen that one key element of being wealthy is how much it harms the planets. must it? how much longer can we afford the undoubted lifestyle of the rich? i'm just reading the article about you and manager magazine. very cool. congratulations. julian backhouse is a publisher of finance and business magazines. today he's going to the frankfurt book fair. the flight takes about an hour. what's the flight cost over about $4000.00 euros per hour. so there and back to hours will set you back. 8000 euros more and more rich people travel this way. the number of private jet flights in

germany increased by 9 percent within one year. don't you feel guilty living at the expense of others on that? i mean that's not really the case. i'm not stopping anyone from doing the same. others could do it, but they don't is that okay? for me, it's okay for me and i don't think i'm actively harming anyone. if that was the case, i'd probably think about it more often. but so far i haven't seen how i'm deliberately or actively harming anyone. dumb so. but carbon emissions are harmful to others. in fact, to all of us, a flight by private jet amidst tons of greenhouse gases were already experiencing the consequences of climate change to date. after all, the climate crisis has long since arrived. fires, droughts, floods with increasing

frequency in more and more places. if global warming is not slow down soon, large parts of the earth will become uninhabitable. glover dunwoody due to that, i believe that civilization as we know it would an of the info and certainly our idea of a humane society would be over social 1st in professor hands you are him. shane hoover is one of the most renowned climate researchers in the world. his findings are simple and unequivocal. humans must severely restrict c o 2 emissions our own survival depends on it. on the server, i shing, to reach that target. we calculate that each person on the planet roy is allotted 3 tons of c o 2 emissions per year by mid century, like poland feel thoughtful for finkelstein. so on average,

each person's carbon footprint should be 3 tons of carbon dioxide per year. this short trip is responsible for 3 tons of emissions. in theory, julian backhouse has used up his entire year c o 2 allowance with this flight alone . he afraid i have some bad news due to heavy rain and it goes back on because the runway is relatively short. we've decided to fly to frankfurt. mind mind would julian doc house cut down on flights and accept a c o 2 cap? that's the same for every one. i think restrictions like that of pointless. we live in a world that affords us a certain abundance. i think everyone should have the right to enjoy that all get out of the loop. and he does have that right. no one is stopping

julian backhouse from flying by private jet as often as he likes. can you contact a goes by my chauffeur's waiting? they're already done one. can you send him to fine for mine? already done. he's on his way over with terrific up. oh good, see you later. thank you. very few people can afford private jets or other luxuries which are full to the climate. to these few people make a big difference. data shows that the richest one percent of the world's population, amid extremely high amounts of greenhouse gases. $8500000000.00 tons per year.

to put that into perspective, that's more than the 6 point. 1000000000 tons produced by the entire poor, half of the world's population. ah, meanwhile, in the german town of xander in lower saxony and felix line as cycling home from work flights by private jet, are inconceivable for the klein, family. bicycle is the family's main means of transportation. mm 5. yeah. we don't want to use our car too much fuel prices are really high and we're thinking about the environment. oh, she has to leave soon to take her daughter to choir practice. emma time to go. 7 her husband works as a cook in a hospital, combined the coins net monthly income total of about 2600 euros. that puts them in

the bracket of lower middle class. come on, come here. but from the letter that money has always been tied for the klein's. now that prices keep rising, it's becoming a real problem. taking their daughter to choir practice is one of the rare occasions when they use their car. does my little you drive to it? because emma can't manage it, but i can that time they're tight but dim, forgotten it. it's 10 kilometers each way. her diesel car emits 0.005 tons or 5 kilograms of c o. $2.00 and 0, klein would be able to drive her daughter to choir practice $600.00 times before she equal the carbon footprint of a short trip in a private jet. but given the high fuel prices, it's unlikely to come to that the last toys diesel is expensive,

it may or may spend more on that and there's less left over for food and clothing, hydrogen, we have to cut back on other things as well. absolutely. my, my mostly it eats into our vacation budget, but alas, toy of, of yet lisa, so that visiting auntie is like going on vacation. she's got a huge pool with alley, the lights above that we still have to drive them out. that cost money to ortiz driving a luxury for you? yeah. it's become one for ah, we have on people on tighter budgets tend to pull the, the environment less flew

on the other side of germany. nearby. right. members of the german maserati club are meeting up to go for a drive. money seems to be no object here, even in these costly time, it is under amazon to fall if walk special about driving a maserati is the fascination for this car. nasal remarks, i guess you could call me an old petrol head on. so it's all fun driving these vehicles in my free time is a real joint for me. so far and in mine of hard thoughts. for many years hina boyle worked as an engineer for a large car company. most moratti's got a lot of gas

lu. ready on this weekend, trip alone, i never oil will produce 0.3 tons of c o. 2. theoretically, that would equal 110th of his annual c o. 2 allowance. just for this one weekend. the groove stops at a car museum. so more side of a class set up with more new i we hung him at the museum, has 2 floors, snow middle of it, and motorcycles are on the middle floor. there are a few italian muddles and some majorities mixed in this region. driving

a maserati or saving the climate for the people here. it's a hard overhead decision. b type pressing is the problem of climate change for you does does to linda schema problem of climate change is certainly very pressing. there's no question about that. the scientific evidence we've seen over the last 10 to 15 years. my paints have very clear picture on valid nom, pushing close boot. just love it. oh. but would they give up their joy rights to stop climate change? yeah, mm hm. we're in a climate crisis and you drive for fun at a mid c o 2 as a hobby, it doesn't make you think twice. laugh, bank life. that was enough that not at all, which boggling. and i'll tell you why. the oldest, the, the of the cars we drive,

i mean classic house vintage comes up. they are more than 30 years old already. it was in of thought the shower there until it is a fog florida. they make up a tiny percentage of all the cars that have registered in germany or some food losses and also for handling the patterns. familiar. every one can see the problem, but not in their own behavior. are strict laws. the only solution immediately gorly or if we are radically increased regulations and plan. so they'll only be met with resistance because it will be counter productive out asking, thought by the lord it, because the people who can afford it will say, no, we refuse to hurt us infants. you can't do this to us. i'm often does. people aren't willing to be deprived of what they've worked decades to a change in john for niemen. not even for the climate. it is a moral and ethical question which can be discussed by hours and hours to come on there longer disco, but he doesn't actually help the matter. comes up for the fact is that's the way it

is when it's vital. why fucked is does this though? if i missed something that should we all cut back to reduce our carbon footprint? i. yes, this is melissa costeo. thank question about, but for me to actually say, i'll get rid of my vintage call to do something for the environment. clean out. so i can tell you quite frankly, no, i'm not prepared to do that. others kind of a lot of people here oppose the idea of cut backs or band. they paid their hopes on something else. the vulcan tiffany technology should we must develop climate friendly technology and climate friendly energy as quickly as possible. internet doesn't rely on tech over making sacrifices quite exactly. guns galore material issues of course is it's very convenient to say that miracle technology will be here one day. the will that way we can carry on sleeping at

night and continue flying and going on cruises and whatnot. but we're lying to ourselves. ya to luke, lindsey sh in to touch it. c o 2 emissions. nita fall dramatically waiting for new technologies will take too long. of course, rich people are not the only ones polluting the environment. what's more t, your? yes please. people with lower incomes are especially feeling the rising energy prices. the klein's have turned down their heating, and they're curious about their carbon footprint. they punch some information into an online seo to calculator to work it out. they answer various questions about their lifestyle eating habits and house m o m toys anita quality refurbished. no. i had some type of hated for sa, so. oh yeah,

yes. to clients within europe. none again, this is says we have a carbon footprint of 6.99 tons of c o 2 on there, the german average is 10.78 tons. your new sort of bit below that table. $6.00 tons of c o 2 per person. that puts them well below the german average, but they're still over the 3 time limit that would be necessary to achieve the climate targets. one big point working against them is their gas heating. yet then mr. we would need to refurbish the house to save energy in a new sparkle. it's him or in a garage or the new owner, thermal retrofitting cavity wall insulation hall on them all, das renovating and insulating the roof. is that realistic? boy? no, no. what does it cost

a lot of and it may not look like it, but the house is poorly insulated. the windows are from the 19 seventies and the walling is more than 100 years old. was the monthly notice when you touched the walls at once? when to look to heat, more in winter than people in a modern house. the only way to substantially cut their carbon emissions would be to invest money. they simply don't have a young voice house. there's a limit to how much you can save understand. i think we've basically reached it or duster some small good anymore caught soon. we couldn't do anything any more. does mon or we would lose what little quality of life we have? disposition, basil name is quality. tommy alpha law declines. just don't have the means to invest more in climate protection. they would need support to achieve the 3 ton target universe. a saga my i think it's pretty unfair that we have to scrimp and

save while others shall out more and more because they can afford to move. i scared of her. i don't think it's right or finished. mission. ordinal. these figures underscore her point. while the average german emits about 11 tons of greenhouse gases per year, the wealthy produce a great deal more millionaires each image more than $100.00 tons per year. the very richest people on the planet, a small group of global multi millionaires, are responsible for much higher emissions. people with a net worth of more than $20000000.00 euros produce an average of $2300.00 tons of greenhouse gases per year, with their yachts villas, flights, and environmentally harmful investments. in the loops near huffman, in the last few years, we've seen that one key element of being wealthy is how much it harms the planet to chemistry traders. this marina barcelona is

a meeting place for the ultra wealthy. stefan gearhart has a business appointment. here he travels a lot and flies frequently. his company's own hotels and apartments all over the world. are law motivated for toilet warner. one will have individual apartments all over the world. his mammy beach is stumble to me in, but to me, georgia and so on. ah, when so later on we thought we could do with one and spin to an invoice for owner an apartment. and my yorker turned into a boat and barcelona would involve. so when are you on the company yard here in barcelona, is both a hotel and an office for him. stefan

garrett is a multi millionaire. he made his fortune in the tourism industry. i am he all can patch up an only fly, otherwise it gets too hot. the captain always said, certainly he'll get hard is away on business trips. most of the time he flies hundreds of thousands of kilometers per year. that alone results in c o. 2 emissions of well over $100.00 tons per year. very often, taurus most terrorism is my business, which i work in the industry that makes its money from people traveling thought. of course you can cut back if a trip isn't necessary for, but if you need to travel for your job would like to keep everything running smoothly. lovins will be crazy not to lessen bonds in this mr. torn. what is necessary for the job is obvious for him. climate change please an interesting role than his sector. vehicle is what role just climate change play when you make an

investment decision? lavender, moon, business, really your finances tricky question really should be of the bones. nicole have the smile a bit at that, or we see that it's from course we consider one, but probably not. and the way you would think him to his titian by we take great, interested in making investments in the tourism sector in places where we think climate change could benefit us once put in palm trees on the baltic coast eisen and michelle, we say, okay, or say that so it may be one day long veal, it's certainly gotten warmer. must august was i number of invoice? well, more give on this up because we keep an eye on it at all fall. but only in deciding where to invest india, so we can take advantage of climate change was tim kalima, bundled scene kernan, tourism, or saving the climate. it's a conflict of interest gearhart can't deny. he highlights some of his projects, installing solar panels antennas, courts, or sustainably renovating

a few hotels. but even he knows that won't be enough in its mission with not stupid . i do think about what i could do better summer and had to prevent this impending catastrophe. dizzy cut, just what i can do, what everyone can do a summer. but if i don't know what to do, i'm glad it would be helpful if someone said more than just one. this is what's going to happen and there's another, i need someone to do what i do as a consultant, to say here is what we need to do. ask one thing, that's what i'm missing. one for him was torn. when does fail me? there certainly is one idea, but it wouldn't come cheap for people like stefan gearhart the damage correct? but i told them every person gets an allowance of 3 tons of c o 2 emissions per year from also say if you need to use more, you have to buy it or not a shift though, for people who don't really need this amount any way, could sell part of it and earn a little extra healthy him percent of billionaire would have to buy an extra $100.00 tons per year, feel switched from the full employer,

the toko. from is this reasonable? does it border on expropriation douglas onto desk in mind for the greater good has to take precedence now dear, but the compromise is right there with my wealth. i can buy the freedom to emit more carbon yield seals, what i have to pay for it. i don't just get it for free stuff is the woman killed dish bicola driven east ministry for economic affairs is now also responsible for climate action. how does minister all that? how they see the situation? the shock and no say to any camry you put me in front of we are too light. the situation is serious. if we reach the tipping point and the climate crises spirals out of control or will me won't just be a question of

a slightly lower quality of life. we're talking about a real danger to human life. people will lose their lives, they will be drowned. people will no longer be able to live as they do today. there will be pause. these are all realistic scenarios here listed pub ex, assessment as clear. will he introduces c o 2 cap for every one. he doesn't want to go that far. canceled him. i'm not focused on the question of individual caps and the statistics right now. i'm looking at the concrete matches i can achieve is through renewable energy retrofitting buildings. you name it all is on the, on humans. of course, all of these measures are necessary. but without wealthy people making major cutbacks, we will never be able to reduce carbon emissions, enough be void and cedar. and what's your plan to get the rich to a metal, a c, o 2. the puzzle production as a home and product is not manufactured in climate friendly ways have to become more expensive. it's year then they won't change that. the path that europe as

a whole is taking and germany is to hope our new terms in both federal good. i said it's a question of equality, but if we have a limited amount of c o 2, we can emit if we take the climate target seriously than it should be distributed fairly, that means a clap, her person up. correct. that's hard in all social societies. we solve the question of inequality not by prohibiting prosperity work all the acquisition of wealth or dora, but by taxation absolutely destroyed. but up until now, taxes have not deterred the rich from living their lives of luxury. is it possible we won't succeed in tackling the climate crisis says it's ambitious and demanding. i can't swear that we will succeed, but we definitely can succeed as good. yet even how begs own expert counsel warns that the measure is taken so far are inadequate and inequality when it comes to carbon emissions will only get worse.

ah, while the carbon footprint of most middle class people in the world has stayed about the same for the last 30 years, the emissions of multi millionaires, the richest 0.01 percent in the world has almost doubled the same time from around $1300.00 tons to more than $2300.00 tons per person. ah, still most politicians shy away from raining in the rich and yet not doing so restrict the lives of so many more people as kicked out a little if many generations after us. and i think they should have good life to decide now who go to sleep marble. mm. it's not just about what is fair, but what is necessary?

you can, we can only because if everyone joins in if 10 percent decide not to there's no point in us doing it. they're the ones destroying things. of course, we all have to fight climate change together. but if the rich don't do their part, this battle cannot be won. ah, with

made for oligarchs and millionaires. luxury eyes there the ultimate status symbol, and disastrous for the climate. these maritime mansions continually $500.00 leaders of diesel fuel per hour. but that hasn't affected the booming business of luxury on it. 15 thought d, w eco, india from that the most common mode on the one that are at one just disappeared completely lay site to saliva, thousands of animal species on the indian subcontinent. conservationists are
