10:31 pm
warned, hung a punch in public transport is pretty gross at the moment, even sharing a cabin with snotty nose people coughing every waka, i avoid it as much as i cancel zaden v. as you're good. it's a short trip from vienna hoffman to frankfort. 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. if everyone behaved like you and flu as often as you do. done with it then it wouldn't work. but luckily the population has split into different groups. dime, part of the small fraction that can get away, but it doesn't all. private jets, fast cars, yachts, gen really,

the richer people are the more they contribute to global warming. in their lives the on up on 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 indulgent 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 fight 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 $8000.00 euros. more and more rich people travel this way. the number of private jet flights in germany increased by 9
10:33 pm
percent within one year. don't you feel guilty living at the expense of others under the legs? 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 humming anyway. 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 at all. but carbon emissions are harmful to others. in fact, to all of us, a flight by private jet emit 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
10:34 pm
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 glam. 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 sill, i seem to reach that target. we calculate that each person on the planet road 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.
10:35 pm
this short trip is responsible for 3 tons of emissions. in theory, julian backhouse has used up his entire years c o 2 allowance with this flight alone. he afraid i have some bad news due to heavy rain, an eagle's buck, and 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 that 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 it and he does have that right. no one is stopping
10:36 pm
julian backhouse from flying by private jet as often as he likes. can he contact? he goes by my chauffeur's waiting. they're already done one. can you send him to fine for mine? mine was already done. he's on his way over. terrific up. oh good, see you later. thank you. very few people can afford private jets or other luxuries which are also 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,
10:37 pm
that's more than the $6100000000.00 tons produced by the entire poor half of the world's population. ah, meanwhile, in the germantown of xander, in lower saxony, if you look line is 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
10:38 pm
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 didn't provide me. it's 10 kilometers each way. her diesel car emits 0.005 turns 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 vend of toys. diesel is expensive if we have,
10:39 pm
we spend more on that and there's less left over for food and clothing, hydrogen. we have to cut back on other things and we'll abstract my mice. mostly it eats into our vacation budget than alice toy of of yet. so so, 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 i'll keep driving a luxury for you. yeah. it's become one for of you have on people on tighter budgets tend to pull the, the environment less ah,
10:40 pm
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 zone dramas ought to fall if walks special about driving a maserati is the fascination for this car. the massage, i guess you could call me an old petrol head on term. they'll phelan driving these vehicles in my free time is a real joy for me. so fall in mine of hard thoughts for many years. hi not boy. it worked as an engineer for a large car company. most majorities got a lot of gas. lou
10:41 pm
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 group stops at a car museum. voice i'm covering my set up with a home in the museum has 2 floors snowfall and meet with a tod motorcycles are on the middle floor. i got are a few italian muddles and sal maserati is mixed in with, you know, it's reasonable driving a maserati or saving the climate for the people here. it's
10:42 pm
a hard overhead decision. the how pressing is the problem of climate change for you it's does, does to linda schema problem of climate change is certainly very pressing. there is no question about that. the scientific evidence we've seen over the last 10 to 15 years english paints have very clear picture on out non pushing. close boot developers. yes. oh. but would they give up their joy rides to stop climate change? yeah, mm hm. we're in a climate crisis and you try for fun at a mid c o 2 as a hobby. does it make you think twice? laugh. thank like the focus is not that not at all. which mcglynn and i'll tell you why. the oldest d, v of the cars we drive,
10:43 pm
i mean classic house vintage cars. they are more than 30 years old already. it was in a thought the your there until it is a fought florida. they make up a tiny percentage of all the cars that are registered in germany or france for 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 go live or if we are radically increase regulations and plan. so they'll only be met with resistance because it will be counter productive out asking to buy the lot it because the people who can afford it will say, no, we refuse a hold of the info. if you can't do this to us, my mother does. people aren't willing to be deprived to what they've, what decades to a change on file name and not even for the climate debate. it is definitely not funny. death said some people be allowed to pollute the planet more than others, because everyone must live with the consequences of the climate crisis. the max he
10:44 pm
out does, does is of the, the stove, whether they are allowed to do it is a moral and ethical question, which can be disco for hours and hours to come and see how long it is. but it doesn't actually help the matter comes on for the fact is that's the way it is when it's vital. why? fuck this does this. so if i miss and we much, and we all cut back to reduce our carbon footprint, i am here. default is bullish, that's of course a fair question about. but for me to actually say, i'll get rid of my vintage car to do something for the environment. clean out. so i can tell you quite frankly, no, i'm not prepared to do that. all that kind of a lot of j and climate friendly energy as quickly as possible internet, as, as relying on tech over making sacrifices co, exactly, guns, galore material issues with headquarters. it's very convenient to say that miracle technology will be here one day. the will that way we can carry on sleeping at
10:45 pm
night and continue flying and going on cruises and whatnot. but we're lying to ourselves, yada luke lung, fish in to touch it. c o. 2 emissions need to fall dramatically. waiting for new technologies will take too long. of course, rich people are not the only ones polluting the environment. but marty, you off? yes, please. people with lower incomes are especially feeling the rising energy prices declines 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 non poem flows. anita poly refurbished ny i had some type of hating for fossil ah, yeah, yes,
10:46 pm
fluke flights within europe. none. again this is says we have a carbon footprint of 6.99 tons of c o. 2 wonder the german average is 10.78 tons your news or a bit below that table. 6.99 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 get it as on your own or thermal retrofitting cavity wall insulation. hold on them all gas renovating and insulating the roof. is that realistic? no, no, no. what does it cost a lot of and it may not look like it,
10:47 pm
but the house is poorly insulated. the windows are from the 19 seventies and the walling is more than 100 years old with them. and they noticed that when you touched the walls, that will be delivered to heath 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 at yahoo is house. there's a limit to how much you can save understand. i think we've basically reached it off for duster since my good anymore caught soon. we couldn't do anything any more. does mon uh we would lose what little quality of life we have. das busy in bossier name is quality. tom yell for laura declines. just don't have the means to invest more in climate protection. they would need support to achieve the 3 ton target invoices. saga, my,
10:48 pm
i think it's pretty unfair that we have to scrimp and save while others shell out more and more because they can afford to move. isaiah scared of her. i don't think it's run 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 duluth, snug hot money 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
10:49 pm
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. on law of 8 foot toyed warner, one will have individual apartments all over the world. his miami beach is stumble to me in but to me, georgia and so on. ah, when the lights are on, we thought we could do with one in spain to an invoice for owner and apartments in may. yorker turned into a boat in barcelona wood in belt. so whenever you log in, 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 here 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, which many organ tourist must terrorism, is my business. i work in the industry that makes its money from people travelling store. of course you can cut back if a trip isn't necessary for me, but if you need to travel for your job, who would like to keep everything running smoothly? office would be crazy not to lessen vines 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 does climate change play when you make an
10:51 pm
investment decision? my vanity moon business really far you went into the tricky question really should be of the bones. nicole had a smile a bit at that already. does it from of course we considered tier one but probably not. and the way you would think him talk is titian. by you 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 missionary san k, or say that so it may be one day long wheel. it's certainly gotten warmer in las vegas was i number of invoice. well, we'll give all 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
10:52 pm
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. obviously, i need someone to do what i do as a consultant, to say here is what we need to do ask and one thing, that's what i'm missing. when following this tool. when does fail me? there certainly is one idea, but it wouldn't come cheap for people like stefan gearhart. ah, you damage correct? gro toner, every person gets an allowance of 3 tons of c o 2 emissions per year for most, especially if you need to use more, you have to buy it ramo to shift lower. 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,
10:53 pm
feel safe from the full employer the to co from is this reasonable? does it border on expropriation douglas onto desk in mind for the greater good has to take precedence? an idea, 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 the food coma driven east ministry for economic affairs is now also responsible for climate action. how does minister hold that? how they exceed 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 me won't just be a question of a slightly lower quality of life. we're talking about
10:54 pm
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. they'll be was, these are all realistic scenarios here, this dishes, pub x 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 oil 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 seo tools. the portal production as a home and product is not manufactured in climate friendly ways. have to become more expensive it's year. then they will change that on the path that europe as
10:55 pm
a whole is taking and germany as to what are new terms in mind for go good. i'm as a study, it's a question of a quality thing. if we have a limited amount of c o 2, we can emit if we take the climb a target seriously than it should be distributed fairly, that means a cap or person off that's, that's hard and also so societies, we solve the question of inequality not by prohibiting prosperity work all the acquisition of wealth, but by taxation apples on the display. 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 estrogen. yet even hob eggs own expert council warns that the measure is taken so far are inadequate and inequality when it comes to carbon emissions will only get worse.
10:56 pm
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 in 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 is kept. doubtless, many people will live many generations after us, and i think they should have a good life to did. he said now who go to sleep mom? it's not just about what is fair, but what is necessary you
10:57 pm
can, we can only do is 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. nafrica in russia, it's a complicated relationship. mm. what do young people think about russia not one year since the invasion of ukraine, in terms of influence? we see russia has a power that come to the chair of hopes and fears,
