hello, sam's house. ah, she survived illustrates thanks to music. he was the nazis favorite conductor, is morally degenerate to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about the sounds of power, inspiring story about survival of the home and go get the cellist. i was the only one what lies look. music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube. d. w documentary. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, welcome to global 3000. a web of lies who is profiting from fake news about renewable energy. hope below the

sand. why 14? see, because they're heading to the mauritania and deserts and the doctors of the incas, how bolivia is traditional healers is seeking their place in the modern world. just under 200 years ago, french physicist and mathematicians yourself fully a discovered the greenhouse effect. when sunlight shines into a closed glass box, the box heats up because the energy can't escape. no one knew then that this also applied to our planets. nor did anyone know that that was because of the huge amounts of c o 2 emitted into the atmosphere by burning oil gas and coal. mm. things are different today, of course, for decades we've known why our climate is changing, but doubts have been sown about it for just as long as well as about what needs to

be done to stop it. means streams feeds, jumping, communication, all the information on the world ready when you need it. the internet is a magical place, but there are also some weird corners. i'm talking about the dark underbelly, the ugly face of conspiracy theories and misinformation that shows itself and obscure forums and chap groups, especially under stories about renewables. we read the thousands of commons posted under videos and wind and solar and collected those that smelled of misinformation . and slowly, patterns emerged, the same talking points kept coming up. and a futile as it may be, we decided to de bunker. people kept pointing out that making wind turbines and solar panels creates emissions because it needs energy. all these materials have to be mind refined and or manufactured in order to make solar panels requires massive amounts of conventional energy. and yes,

that's actually applies to every form of energy generation. but some spelled out what others just insinuated that renewables are worse for the climates than fossil fuels. the fumes coming up to make, make these massive windmills is more than anything that we're talking about with natural gas. no, no, no, no, no. for wind and solar, i think for wind, you're not 20 grams per kilowatt hour that you a met. and for, for, for solar i think on average you shall look like 40 grams ovo c o 2 patrol with our and that's fraction like 110th or 128th of what you get with a fossil fuels. of course went and sola have a carbon footprint. but it's tremendously lower than that of any fossil fuel. and this next room, or by the way, is also not true. a wind farm spends the 1st 78 years of its life earning back the energy that went into building the winter. but it's such nonsense. it's such utter

nonsense. i mean, for windmills it takes like half a year nowadays. huh. for the windmill to produce as much energy as it took for the whole thing to be produced and put in place. so with this one out of the way on to the next one, a classic on the renewables bashing head list, the essential unreliability of solar and wind, solar and wind are unreliable fuels. we cannot rely on renewables alone. the message here is that solar and wind will plunge us into chaos. this isn't exactly a newsflash, but the sun doesn't shine all the time. and the wind doesn't blow. and those peddling, the smith got very excited in early 2021 record snowfall in parts of texas deadly winter storm blanketed. most of that state with snow and ice winter storms swept across the us state of texas, leading to severe power outages that killed hundreds of people in the anti renewables propaganda machine immediately found a culprit. the windmills broke,

so the power grid fail. even the states governor who's received millions of dollars and campaign funding from the oil and gas industry blamed renewables are when in our solar we got shut down and that thrust taxes into a situation where it was lacking power. it just shows that fossil fuel is necessary for the state of texas. this picture started spreading on line and along with it's the narrative that frozen wind turbines caused the blackouts. but they didn't. the photo was actually taken in sweden and 1st published in 2015 and frozen wind turbines were really not the biggest problem in texas. a nuclear went down, whole went down, natural gas went down, and a portion of the winter range went down simultaneously. a report by the university of texas, which came out in the catastrophes aftermath showed what the biggest problem was, outages and fossil fuel power plants, especially those running on natural gas. yes, some winter bands also stopped working,

but that could have been prevented. there when provides and many states and the rest and in northern europe, the don't friends because they actually have dicing equipment on them. so the problem was not intrinsically with the wind turbines, but the fact that there was no dicing equipment. what's happened in texas was not the fault of renewables, but that's exactly what countless people were told and believed. the online world is like a kind of cooking. and there are things that have been in that cutting cost for quite a quite a long while. there are new ingredients being added a every time he gets out a day. it gets stuck. this is neil johnson who researches online misinformation many one time in any place in this, in this network can appear any kind of combination of preexisting ideas which will never go away. he can't replicate them our brain place. it's part in this as well. it favors information we get from people we trust or maya,

and information that supports our world view. change can be intimidating. and it's also not always easy to separate fact from fake. much of the misinformation out there does contain a grain of truth, but then gets blown out of proportion. yes, solar panels do have a carbon footprint, but it's tiny compared to that of fossil fuels. yes, some winter binds, did freeze in texas, but that wasn't the main reason for the black out by a long shot context. metas also for this di, hot myth about wind turbines, that terrible for but kills all the birds. again, it's true that wind turbines kill some birds, but can kill significantly more and so de skyscrapers and even cats debunking is a hard and thankless job. the list of falsehood about renewables circulating online is pretty much endless. we could be telling you what's wrong with them one by one forever. and i guess that's what the people behind them want us to do. they want to

keep us busy and distracted from asking way, way more interesting questions like, who's peddling these myths and the 1st place. it's kind of hard to pinpoint it. i think it's a little think tanks are right. let me think things they get most of their funding through donations and grants, and wouldn't it just be interesting to know from whom usually the most important interesting thing. thanks don. tension read a, get their money from shell. it's basically a little guesswork. sometimes we do get the odd glimpse into the finances in the past, many of them received money from exxon mobil according to the fossil fuel giants donation reports. but usually most of this plays out behind close doors. the think tanks operate as non profit charities, which allows them to keep secret to the sugar daddies are quite frankly, it's been frustrating and disheartening to see all these outlandish claims about

wind and solar still out there. i guess it's important to take them for what they are a symptom, a symptom of a trillion dollar industry clinging on to its business model, doubts about the alternatives and fear of change, a helping its keep its grip. ringback ringback gold is the stuff of dreams and desires. busy in the late 19th century, more than 100000 people flocked to alaska's con dyke river to china. find it. this is probably the most famous gold rush in history. but that has been many more poverty with the big driving force behind the desire to find gold in often inhospitable regions. it still is in martina in north africa. people come from many countries in the hope of making that 1480 dreams are sent to come. true and the scorching heat of the sahara and northern mauritania. oh,

but any one looking to fulfill their dreams here has to dig deep in. they also need to be brave or extremely desperate. the mauritania government has opened up the area for gold, prospecting. those seeking their fortune descend deep into the sand and search of buried treasure. but it's a risky undertaking. a senior vocally with that there are many dangers here over if you could be working on when suddenly everything collapses in the sand falls on on them. thought we'll look for you and remove the sand until we find who did all welcome off. but there's no oxygen when you're trapped on the pit. tavares gothic indiana peloponnesian ah, oh no. ah myth on what there are a lot of cracks in the raw cook with us. so it's really dangerous from

a safety point of view. the rocks in this part of the sahara are not very stable, republican google perk, of all the gold diggers try to locate the vain and follow it into the dams on flight. but sometimes it's slanted, sometimes vertical, depending on how jag the rock is thinking. is it walls that the surface? yeah, i'm assuming there are veins here. the miners will try to find the part of the vein closest to the surface. so they'd start digging here, or for example, for, but those who start their whole here, for example, i will have to dig a lot further to reach the vein. so it all depends on the depth of the strand. no more than 40000 people from mauritania and neighboring countries have flocked to the desert with many want to escape poverty and unemployment.

they hope to find something in the sand that could give them a shot at a better life. if they're there on the name of if, if i study telecommunications at university for 2 year and i was on that, but it didn't work out there for a different student to throw it. it's very difficult to find a job here to the, to live here. so you choose a path and walk it until you find something. it gets your voc watching. it is kind of funny. if it, if i tried to go abroad to further my studying it. i applied for visas for spain, germany and canada. fine. but the applications were all rejected over 4050 getting a visa is harder than finding gold of nurses. a little bit of not them on the prospect of a big find has attracted many people from the region 18 year old mohammed has

already made his way through a number of countries since leaving sudan in 2019 who had cadillac. i worked in his air and chad and then i went to libya, tunis, come on, ross it in algeria, uneasy and finally here to mauritania. general, always through the desert, i even with for mohammad and other men who come here to work, the journey to mauritania was not easy. mafia. no, no. there's a mafia among the way. in the dns locals law in molly, for example. there are jihadists who come out of the bush and attack you, none or money. they have gone live and they're ruthless for, oh, oh wow. they take everything you have. and if you try to fight back, i will get,

you'll be killed with his over or could you we encountered many problems on the road, workable. go good. oh michelle, good security is just one of many problems for the men in the desert. after the rock has been washed out, it's treated with mercury in order to extract the gold. the process is highly toxic for people and the environment the sea and bank are gone. national park i unesco world heritage site is less than 30 kilometers away mac curve at the missouri. how in there $21.00, a mercury level of 0.5 milligrams per kilo was measured here a 100 times more mercury than about 10 years ago. mercury said pulse so much, i goes from animal to animal, it's converted to lecture at the end of the chain in humans,

it becomes methylmercury, which is extremely talk, say o'clock, 6 common basel dilemma catalogue. these are very high environmental costs. this has this phenomenon being adequately studied him. are we giving the issues in of consideration or are we asking the right question was girl? while arkansas in the gold miners are not concerned with these questions, the environment is not a priority compared to their own survival and the dream of having their own little piece of the pine is and we found the stones here not very far down, often will appear that their poems in treasure, why the doctor matter? watching? i love watching documentaries and after cause honestly i used to watch netflix vision. do you know the netflix up to the fair, kirk assured,

i see people there who want to do something and they just do it. and amazon. oh my god, come on. i watched a documentary about the 1st person from his country to climb out. ever a sprinkler come out because on it, if they are part of it, i hope one day to do the same. nevada, if we're plugging in the city, the federal and the world health organization estimates sit around to 80 percent of the world's population regularly uses traditional medicines. these include active ingredients from nature in tablets, teas and ornaments, as well as acupuncture, yoga or you, veda and spiritual therapies. pip, traditional healers still play a key role in many societies. not softened because mutton medicine is either

difficult to access or simply on affordable lou for centuries. legendary medicine men, the kai, a wire, live close to leg tittie cock up. they were the doctors of the inca kings, often code which is of the andes. what remains of this culture to day? we met o'reilly o cheese, who calls himself one of the last chi wire that we're boy, that is a public good at the very low psoriasis week, i a wire know the medicinal properties of roots or flowers deductible leaves. and fruits as it goes with her broke or lucy meal, but with lucille so that i received my extensive knowledge about plants for my grandparents if that will lead to. so there's ago,

is that because you look at this emma's id, coldest of whether school you can chew, or many people who have been put in psychiatric ward with healthy applicants. 11 in traditional western medicine lab is, is, you know, you just call these people crazy law, kuda locals, the silverware already you also has remedies for outsiders and cancer, but he won't tell us exactly which ones a patient from the capital city of la passes, arrived at his practice already a welcomes, a young man between stuffed cats, tinctures, herbs and roots. as money art sir requested to ritual with coca leaves recorder timidly lesser will become a western i want to know from a railway. oh, what i need to do to live a healthier life was done last year and i need advice for my life. my emotional

world is c and the future of my work through this. not this coming now an tamala model, based on the shape of the coca leaves, or elio interprets whether someone will come into money stay healthy, will be blessed with good fortune. but he also analyzes his patients past lydia the needle, picasso's. this come for the said the, there's money has endured emotional trauma, zillah couldn't of it low. his wife cheated on him at the day and he was in a car, accidental her accident. both of those things have really scarred and shaken him who he is hulu free. that's why he saw reserved. and now they've got to be that a ritual to heal emotional scars is prescribed one or radio assures, is that he's already been able to heal cancer patients. with his natural medicine, we couldn't verify this with

a full radio also shares his knowledge with non indigenous townspeople. book is this guess from chile a waiting for radio in his kitchen. they want to stay here for several weeks to study traditional chi, a wire healing methods in a few i to now to let him, he talks again in the big cities are relationships with each other, are often talk, settlement this affects our energies and our sole chatter in a politically a liquid good at case. so there are many good reasons to learn about ancient medicine from people who still live in harmony with nature. is he now pro piano? ah, at this hospital in the chi a y, a valley, the chief physician daniel fernandez, his respect that he lives like really a not least because many of his patients ask for them. illegal person no never wants to can get pills from the 1st and then be treated by

a iowa healer kid who then prescribes an additional natural herbal medicine for most gala pharmacies are almost non existent in the provincial capital chair rezani . because the strong tradition of alternative medicine has been preserved here. dozens of kaya like o'reilly. i live in the valley, but they also feel the modern world moving ever closer as good as that void out. the foreign western culture and it's thinking are coming closer and closer to us a little bit. but i think our healing medicine that will remain strong and important to balance it. even if our children suddenly only play with smartphones. as my mother had, the similarities century is old traditions live alongside a new digital generation, a generation that plays computer games on their smartphones, after school,

on the slopes of the andes, where they can still get cell phone service with a little further on. and it's time for yes, money ought sir. a city dweller to cleanse his soul seemed to i feel the power and peace of the soil of the earth in contact with nature. them inclin enough to release her while the offering of wax flakes with icing mouths or earlier tries to bring as many arts as sol, imbalanced with prayer. like so many others, the full and gathers sip only the star with each passing years. people are moving further and further away from mother nature like she stays here little but and that's why it's clear that there will be many diseases at a more drought city. yes. earthquakes and seek ways of us will. how can we save
