long before he was on, when hughes came along, that the great extinction began an amusing diversity of species it cuz of the british isles. and they're going to preserve this habitat dials starts on w. ah, ah, welcome to global 3000. a web of lies who is profiting from fake news about renewable energy hope below
1:31 pm
the sand. why fortune c cause are heading to the martini in 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, seats, shopping communication,
1:32 pm
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 phase of conspiracy theories and misinformation that shows itself and obscure forums and chat groups, especially under stories about renewables. we read the thousands of commons posted under videos on 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 debunk them. 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 actually applies to every form of energy generation. but some spelled out what
1:33 pm
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 imagine. and for, for for solar i think on average now look like 40 grams ovo seo to preclude 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. when this next drama, by the way, is also not true. a wind from spends the 1st 78 years of its life earning back the energy that went into building the wind turbine. it's such nonsense that such offer nonsense. i mean, for windmills it thinks like half
1:34 pm
a year nowadays are for to 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 renewable smashing hit 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 news flash, but the sun doesn't shine over time. and the wind doesn't blow. and those peddling, the smith got very excited and early 2021 record snowfall in parts of texas deadly winter storm blanketed. most of that state were snow and eyes. winter storms swept across the us state of texas, leading to severe power outages that killed hundreds of people. and the anti renewables propaganda machine immediately found a culprit. the windmills broke,
1:35 pm
so the power grid failed. even the states governor was 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 online and along with its 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. and nuclear went down, all went down, natural gas, went down and a portion of the windshield wrench went down simultaneously. every by the university of texas, which came out in the catastrophes after mouth showed what the biggest problem was, outages and fossil fuel power plants, especially those running of natural gas. yes, some winter bands also stopped working, but that could have been prevented their wind turbines and many states in the u. s
1:36 pm
. and in northern europe, the don't friends because they actually have the icing equipment on. so the problem was not intrinsically with the wind turbines, but the fact that there was no dicing equipment. what's happened on taxes was not the fault of renewables, but that's exactly what's 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 at a day every time he gets out a day it gets to adopt. this is neil johnson who researches online misinformation many one time and any place in this, in this network can appear any kind of combination of preexisting ideas which will never go away. he can't and ratified them. our brain plays its part in this as well . it favors information we get from people we trust or admire. and information that supports our worldview change can be intimidating. and it's also not always easy to
1:37 pm
separate fact from fake. much of the misinformation out there does contain a grain of truth that 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 to skyscrapers. and even cats debunking is a hard and thankless job. the list of falsehood about renewables circulating online is pretty much endless. we cookie 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,
1:38 pm
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 leaning 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 it printed pretty interesting thing. thanks don. tension read a, get their money from show it's basically a little guest room. 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
1:39 pm
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. in the late 19th century, more than 100000 people flocked to alaska's con dyke river to try and find it. this is probably the most famous gold rush in history that, that have been many more. poverty was 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 their fortune. movie dreams are sent to come. true and the scorching heat of the sahara and northern mauritania. oh,

it's public neuropathy. all the gold diggers try to locate the vain and follow it into the depths of a white ball. sometimes it slanted, sometimes vertical, depending on how jag the rock is thinking, since it falls. that's 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, for example. 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. more than 40000 people from mauritania and neighboring countries have flocked to the desert with many want to escape poverty and unemployment. they hoped to find something in the sand that could give
