and come away empty handed. does ancient wisdom have no value made in germany? in 60 minutes? von d. w. we are all set and were watching closely. we are all eager to bring you the story behind the news. right? we roll about unbiased information. fremont. done. ah ah, welcome to global 3000 a web of lies who is profiting from fake news about renewable energy hope below the

sand. why fortune? see, cuz 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 mathematician, joseph 48, 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 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, seats, shopping 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 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'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 imagine. and for, for, for solar i think on average you shall look like 40 grams old fo, seo to pixel 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. and this next rumor, by the way, is also not true. a wind from spend 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 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 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 where snow and ice 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,

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 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 window. all went down, natural gas, went down and a portion of the windshield wrench 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 turbines,

in many states in 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 in 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 in every time he gets out a day. it gets stuck. 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 replicate them. our brain plays its 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 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 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 in 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 important interesting thing. thanks don krench and 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, 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 field change a helping its keep its grip. ringback 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 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 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 booklet with us. there are many dangers here over yes, you could be working on when suddenly everything collapses in the sand falls on your new song. will 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 yet apollo decision. ah, oh no 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

with bbva mover perk. of all the gold diggers try to locate the vain and follow it into the depths upon booking a white ball. sometimes it slanted, sometimes vertical, depending on how jag the rock is thinking is it walls that the surface, i'm assuming there are vanes 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. so, 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. as if for their funding, if, if, if, if i study telecommunications at university for 2 year off 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 in the, to live here. so you choose a path and walk it until you find something. it gets your walk watching. it is kind of funny. if it, 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 over 4050 getting a visa is harder than finding gold of nurses or the ticket of not them on the prospect of a big find has attracted many people from the region 18 year old mohammed has

garcia de la mancha hello. these are very high environmental costs. this has this phenomena been 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, often will appear following in terms of why they look like they're watching. i love watching documentaries in africa. honestly, i used to watch netflix vision. do you know the netflix up if a filter can sure. i see people there who want to do something and they just do it

. and amazon comerica come on. i watched a documentary about the 1st person from his country to climb out. ever a spray can come ok on it. in a pre, a pre hung up it, i hope one day to do the same. the rest of your proposals in the city, the federal and the world health organization estimates that around 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. that's often because modern medicine is either
