30 read, it's 10 times more holocaust survivors in postwar, germany for them. life after 1945 through today has been starting a new and processing the past. it's been a common notion in the post war period until and part to day. nancy's are always those other people on the ongoing struggle for remembrance and against denial in the land of the perpetrators starts may 6th on d, w. 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 cause a 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 mathematician, joseph, fully 8, 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, noted any one 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, seeds chopping 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 as 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's actually applies to every form of energy generation. but some spelled out what others just insinuated that renewables are worse for the climate 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 now look like 40 grams olva seo. typically what our and that's fraction like 110th or 128th of what you get with a fossil fuels. of course, wind and solar 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 farm spends the 1st 78 years of its life earning back the energy that went into building the winter. but it's such nonsense that such utter

nonsense. i mean, for windmills it thinks like half a year nowadays, a windmill to produce as much energy as he 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 hit list. the essential unreliability of solar and wind, solar and wind are unreliable fluids. we cannot rely on renewables alone. the message here is that solar and wind will plunge us into chaos. this isn't exactly a new splash, but the sun doesn't shine overtime. 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 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 the culprits. the windmills broke,

so the power grid fail, 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 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, all went down, natural gas went down, and a portion of the winter winds went down simultaneously. every it 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 on natural gas. yes, some winter vines also stopped working,

but that could have been prevented their wind turbines and many states in the rest and in northern europe, the don't friends because they actually have the icing equipment. all. so the problem was not intrinsically with the wind turbines, but the fact that there was no dicing it. what's happened in texas 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. 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 stock. 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 and replicate them. our brain place it's pot 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 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 hot and thankless job. the list of falsehood about renewables circulating online is pretty much endless. we could keep 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 show it's basically a little guest room. sometimes we do get the glimpse into the finances in the past, many of them received money from exxon mobil according to the fossil fuel giants, the nation 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. 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, but that has been many more. poverty was the big driving force behind the desire to find gold in often inhospitable regions. it still is in mauritania, in north africa, people come from many countries in the hope of making bear. 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 mora cheney of 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, signor, booklet with us. there are many dangers here over if you could be working on when suddenly everything collapses in the sand falls on on them. so 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 in the apollo excision ah, oh no myth on what there are a lot of cracks in the raw could prefer so it's really dangerous from

a safety point of view. the rocks in this part of the sahara are not very stable. republicans mover perk, of all the gold diggers, try to locate the vain and follow it into the depths of on board a white ball. 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. they'd start digging here or for example. so, but those who start their whole here, for example, for you 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 mauretania and neighboring countries have flocked to the desert. which many wants to escape poverty and unemployment they hope to find something in the sand

that can't give them a shot at a better life. is it fair? if on the name of it, if i study telecommunications at university for 2 year off on that, but it didn't work out if you're interested through it. it's very difficult to find a job here in 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 that. i mean if you, if i tried to go abroad to further my study that i applied for visas for spain, germany and canada. fine. but the applications were all rejected or 405050, getting a visa is harder than finding gold. it of nevada. the ticket of not demo with 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 club? i was like, i worked in his chair and chad, then i went to libya, tunis is coming ross, it in algeria vision. and finally here to martina, gentle, always through the desert, individual with for mohammed and other men who come here to work. the journey to mauritania was not easy. in mafia? no, no. there's a mafia among the way in the dims not on flung in. molly, for example, there are jihadists who come out of the bush and attack you none o money. they have gone live and the ruthless folk puddle on. they take everything you have in and if you try to fight back again,

you'll be killed with his over while cody, we encountered many problems on the road. oh, cool walkable. could it? oh michelle 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 bunked are gone. national park, i unesco world heritage site, is less than 30 kilometers away. lamar curve at the missouri. how in the 21, a mercury level is 0.5 milligrams petula was measured here a 100 times more mercury than about 10 years ago. mercury said paul, 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 toxic macbooks. it takes common basel dilemma, cook, hello. 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 pie. if we found the stones here not very far down off, it really appear that their pollution in treasures are widely documented. watching. i love watching documentaries in africa . honestly, i used to watch netflix, which are, do you know the netflix up if

a filter to show it? i see people there who want to do something and they just do it. and amazon comerica, mom, i watched a documentary about the 1st person from his country to climb out, ever a sprinkler markers on it. and then after you click on the hopping, 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 used as 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. that's often because modern medicine is either
