8:15 pm
on to police or fighting, scratching and nibbling on surfboards are increasingly bold behavior has prompted officials to send a team to apprehend her off to our prison with her. you're up to date of next, the documentary on how activists are trying to avoid catastrophic climate change. i'm the co, fairly in berlin, friend golf. we'll be with you at the top of the next hour until then from all of us here in the news room. roland, thank you so much for your company by the stories that most people the world over information. they provide the opinions, they want to express g, w on facebook and twitter, up to date, and in touch,
8:16 pm
and follow us the mountains of always being a sole school and donny arnold and his friend extreme mountain. he is here on a quest for the ultimate swim. the investigating the pitts pending at healey falls 1000 meters above sea level one snakes and pacola. i'm my new hammer in your axe and here the attention of cracking and hissing sound as it breaks into the ice blocks. it's just awesome that make a mistake. reading number of scientists saying this adventures like this might soon become impossible. level roaming is melting, like c is the usually tall people,
8:17 pm
one weekly ftp 20 years ago. you had 5 more days during the winter when you could really go climbing female all cx over the course of a range of trips to africa, asia, and to you rip, i've been else few years. we monitor the impact of climate change. torrential rain, and floods. devastating droughts on the home and a stretch of permafrost, so that hope is not enough thanks to an unprecedented number of people working to come back to climate change from a such is around the planet to industry. lead is the global community of the united nations. these efforts are probably too late for particular regions on mountains, for example, have less snow, less ice and few iglesias the european alps as we know them now will soon be many
8:18 pm
a memory the we need to increase the cold times. if we do not respond to nature's warnings, we will find ourselves at the brink of the human maids to change the, the world's coldest regions are among the absolute hot spots of climate change. the optic, the antarctic, alaska, and the vast permafrost regions of russia. 2 the
8:19 pm
a nicky to the most trained as a mathematician, but what he observed here in the far east of russia prompted him to change course on 10 climate activist. he's now dedicated to his knife to preserving the frozen layer of soil under the surface. here by the banks of the kalima with having the republic of sucka inside barrier, he's collecting evidence that the permafrost is no longer permanent. the ground has wound up by 3 degrees celsius, causing the top layer of the ice to melts. and the growing number of raf fossils to reset this. so use of the most word not the biggest one, but it really size 20. so here was
8:20 pm
in the places in the system here was huge. and they'll never as quick homes around one moment and able to afford a 1000 years and all over here on the square q over to now we are on 600 it's cute skeletons. so every once in a while there in every way you look the hillside, siding down into the river, the result of permafrost. amount is the most has dumped the plants affected zombies due to the soil. they grow and having been in deep freeze for 40000 is and therefore devoid of life. and soon this vegetation will disappear again in the water was already happening here on the banks of this river, and soon will occur in launch pumps of russia could spell dramatic change to the climate. the amount of by a mass line to mention the permafrost is immense, is the carbon dioxide and me saying accumulates,
8:21 pm
didn't the ground with to escape into the atmosphere. the pace of climate change with increased dramatically. the eliza roots of glasses, would you agree with here? maybe around 40000 years ago. and the problem is that there's a huge storage of carbon and they go to sleep totals and put them on the one side of the bones. and on the other side of the bill and put all the above ground, visitation of the planet. so basically all the trees and shrubs of the printed, you will see that they started read those ways more and the better for us to start to degrade everywhere. all these would be, we will become available for microstates and they will very soon cause the thing to do. so i was going to a to
8:22 pm
a method to those eyes. your eyes out that and you see when the size is melting, the what is mixing with this store and create them this month, full sweet children down the slope. and the conditions have been very rapidly here . so it's a 2 components of both, both of carbons and the what's the price, and that's the give you a better off this carbon bump, a self perpetuating vicious cycle in which global warming release is a growing quantity of greenhouse gases, leading to as a high, a 10 purchase, a process that will eventually be impossible to stop. so we have to cuss emissions in gemini, the situation poses an additional challenge. the broke adult power plant has already gathered most since it was shut down at the end of 2021 as positive. gemini, some new key of phase out, the expansion of renewable energy sources is still on to smaller scale. at the same time, this being a rise in energy generation from cold oil and gas,
8:23 pm
meaning more instead of less c o 2 me saying, and nitrous oxide, global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise in 2020. when the coach had 19 pandemic began, there was a slight decline that like 20 so see if we failed to come to missions. we'll be looking at just think of 55000000000 times. and by the end of the century, the us would he talk by almost 3 degrees with alarming consequences preventing that scenario requires us to expel a maximum of 25 giga comes into the atmosphere by 2030. and that means slashing emissions of c o 2 and the old greenhouse gases a 50 percent reduction to arrive at 2 decades. now, professor nicholas, who now has been tracking the environmental policies of the biggest and mrs. a task
8:24 pm
that led to growing frustration over the years with governments doing a lot of talking, but taking precious little action of designs. if you give us a pen, there are signs, however, of a slight reversal. the international community has actually been getting serious about phasing out call, or these guys have the, the powers climate agreements assigned in 2015. but we now seeing a growing number of countries staffing themselves, the goal and the coming climate neutral to you. like lots of emissions to 0 hots event and also let me see one so we can see on the north scientists at the new climates institution cologne, gemini, have divided the required meshes into 3 categories. the 1st category is the most optimistic, one with a very high likelihood of climate goals being met, including a significant increase in renewable energy. this would require emission savings. it's 30 giga tons by 20 such a say, the exponent sex adjustments. so the 2,
8:25 pm
it says emission intensive to illustrate what that entails will use a soccer stadium scale down model of the early on serena home to buy in munich once a year. a new tough is rolled down across the stadium, the jobs today's trying to save the climates is to ensure that everything is green . the task at hand is to cover the entire pitch in order to actually remove those to, to get tons. is this even possible? now to the source of the issue, the
8:26 pm
new way is faint for its abundance of lakes, fjords, rivers, and streams, and o, most inexhaustible supply of energy for society. you can still the source in rest of twice as the norwegians do the here at the tons died, pallets aren't in southern no way go to to a home, opens the gate to another world inside a rocky hillside. he'll be showing us how the country manages to produce more energy than it consumes with the help of 1600 hydro electric facilities. the ton stuff, facility alone generates enough energy to power the homes of a city of one and a half 1000000 people. it's which is plunge to a depth of 440 meters. there's 3 on the 20 megawatts.
8:27 pm
it is time to buy big on one of the biggest it. and where does all that surplus energy go fast to the substation not fall from the comes on from that to gemini virus, sub c cable. this enables base countries to renae overseas, keen, green energy circumstances demand. linda does a lot of the more n g then government use. they can send it to us and read some stuff around machines and save a lot of to for the future. when i'm doing this not following in uh in germany, we can uh produce and send it back. so in that way it was we were working together to, to get the best out of it. the direct power links between most of which knew away and when swift gemini, went online in may. 2021. north link runs between tons that where the power lines
8:28 pm
have an old of a buzz to vista in northern gemini, where the 1400 megawatts have more of a home. in siri, this balance of production and demand would work inside gemini, to wait, not for legal objections, delaying the planned suit link extension of the project down to the south of the country. as a result, stiff breezes in the north of lead to why as a heating and turbines having to be temporarily shut down, a waste of energy with valuable green electricity lost in the wind with snowed link, at least there's no such profligacy. what are we doing here is connecting gym and wind energy within a week and the hydro power on the, in the process of making the system fall more robust and reaping the benefits of both energy. so as to let, you know, i think is a european showcase project and the boost for gemini is energy transition and the
8:29 pm
expansion of renewables. even if it's just the 1st step you've been developers here until now. the transitions, the mostly about electricity. we now have 50 percent for new boozy now. great, but they only constitute 10 percent of total energy needs high to me, so with 19 percent to cover over the next 25 years. it's time to speed up to this temple by going back to the greenhouse gas cups needed by 2030. what does the 1st and least challenging category of meshes comprise and how would they help postpone illinois binding again, increased renewables production that's called based our in china reduction ends in india or in few floor nights at greenhouse gases. us as these are relatively simple measures that could be implemented quickly together. so, mean cutting around $3.00 giga thompson sucker stadium example is showing its fast
8:30 pm
patches of green, a $3.00 giga ton drunk in greenhouse gases, is a good 12 percent have this 30 giga tons that need to go by 20 such a global inequality and injustice of being exacerbated by the on the presence effects of climate change. while the rich northern hemisphere continues to pollute the those bearing the button the primarily towards the south, mostly around the equator in countries such as indonesia, dismissal village by the indian ocean is called pens high behind you. rising sea levels and to wrench all down paws have left the happy beach as the name translates to sinking into the water. and this is during the dry season as a house, as the children have already been taken out of school. parent say conditions in the damp and foul smelling classrooms are unacceptable. the
8:31 pm
teach unless jr. d. rema toola used to be a pupil himself at the elementary school, and is now doing his best on the trying conditions to brave the elements with his lessons. he tells us about the 1st time his classroom is cottage. in 2013, i have a mazda of fidelity, extremely difficult for all of us here in the, and we often have to send the people's home. because when the tide comes in, they're sitting in water up with their legs. i noticed on the bus regular classes are impossible, leaving teachers unable to keep up to schedule in 5 or 6 years time, recognize the teacher. the entire school will be set matched. then that'd be nobody left here. the . but how will the world's be firing in 3 decades from now in 2050?
8:32 pm
but i bet them there will be the most extreme vicious of, of the forward with our 17000 islands that looks close. and that will be, it's enough by the sea. so landfill up is the same as here. there's a lot of illnesses that replace them. they come to make groves off the hook and the whole world to be disturbed by horizontal size. one, again, the cell de, because fighting for food water maybe arrows here that says visit, very sad picture in 2050 as the homelands become impossible to live and people will lease the piano to, to survive climate migration is already with us. and this is just the beginning to build a new mold, several zones of the earth will become literally uninhabitable because it's too hot
8:33 pm
. there's flooding or the, sorry it was not farmable, therefore pretty good to have today be a struggling when you're talking of people and to move into millions, then it talking up of people in the billions, by the middle of this century, millions more people are expected to flee that homes, not because of rule conflict, tool persecution. but because of the time in the world seems to be heading towards a deeply worrying future. it's not just in the likes of alaska and russia that we need to pass a permafrost melting away and no longer holding the soil together the european out . so so affected the prospects. but michelle called plaza from unix, technical univers seats assembled a team of scientists for a research project. today the flying up to inspect to place of acute interest the landing spot chosen on the whole fullborne mountain straddling the border
8:34 pm
between austria and gemini, is so small that the helicopter cannot touch down properly. right next to the somebody, it is a crevice that has white and rapid lace since 2014 increasing the risk of rock falls. the view from above reveals the full extent of the danger with several 100000 tons of rocks, reckoning to cascade the way down into the valley. the of the conducting, the measurements here as an altitude of just send to 2600 meters, is a risky undertaking. what could happen if the summit collapses doesn't bass thinking about the, the phase most of the mistake or space rock mass has a total volume of 260000 cubic meters,
8:35 pm
which isn't long. it's weak. so that's he send somebody to, since we become taking the measurements and the 2014, or i think i'm conduct the right to the few millimeters per moment on the different much. so one is estimation. so, so strong once you can change so quickly, it won't be long, infinity will comes flying down or the contents leaving this year on the futures commission, excuse me. the mountains stopped to give way when the time of frost is no longer able to hold them together. and not just here in central europe, the alpine it'll is literally crumbling. and the repercussions is something that residents so well aware of in the village of bundle, in se, switzerland, for advert gonzales. it's time to say good bye to the house. she's lived in her entire life. today. it's being demolished. it's my house.
8:36 pm
i'm shy when i look at my house, it's so long, but it's gradually dine. it does make detailed jobs, i'll think of it, but we're prepared for that. i just in the summer of 2017, i must have land snyde starting on the pits, tangled low mountain pool. 3000000 cubic meters of rock crushing down into the valley, doves whose despair. it's just so i need a hose and i certainly heard this huge noise, you know? and as i looked up to the mountains, i saw these big chunks of rock falling down south. it looked like lava because it was so slow, so and silent as the ice water and sewage s a l d. this footage was captured by the security camera of a copy and to show the land side left a tie cuz dead on the village pump. the destroyer, another disaster resulting from climate change, the summing
8:37 pm
up the situation in bundle and neighboring villages is the sign that's being attached to the side of a house. the mountain has a fever the impact of climate change on the siberia and the far east of russia cannot be compared to equally to that in africa or south east asia. but t a to the number of people on the threat is increasing every yeah. and for those effect to directly like an old friend of nikki, tells him of, it means another livelihood destroyed the need not itself has been living a secluded existence. he if of a 3 decades the nearest town is some ac. columbus has away us and he being firing just fine so old if those he is official by trade, he had
8:38 pm
a monopoly on the launch lake directly behind his head of all the different species of fish. it contains the salmon, like white fish was the most lucrative, her way ending him as a 5 heroes per kilo, with an average specimen weighing some 15 kilos with us. but the days of plenty now was because his lake no longer exists. it used to stretch 15 kilometers, but it has been reduced to a handful of poems on to originally depend the frosted, frozen, and solidified a natural dam. separating the lake from the river. the rising temperatures, however, caused the once permanent tice to melt away. eventually the dam broke,
8:39 pm
the breach occurred just a few weeks ago during yes and as a hot summer. does it mean? yeah, so to move as much business, whether it's a massive loss for me, the water is gone, my lake is dried out of it and all my fish have vanished. they were my income, and now i've lost everything for all those 30 years when i had been afraid that something might happen, which is why i did my best to reinforce the damn with the shrubs in the bushes. i'd hoped it wouldn't happen that soon. for the interest of lou of the fisherman was far from the only one to have underestimate at the pace at which the climate is already changing. now there's no time to lose, for such is governments and industry to take action the, the use greendale launch to make you read the 1st climate mutual continent. by 20.
8:40 pm
50 is a step in the right direction. and the forgotten advise the mind because of a man's gigs the much. what's endorsements? decimal does not touch the center console in the past. it's one major argument against i find that protection in germany was that nobody else was doing and a thing like that. but that doesn't wash, and it'll have to contain that has now declared its willingness to go climate neutral was on phase out coal, and gosh, c, as, as the us sticking together with the, and these countries cover a lot part of the capital markets, i think so the rest of the world has to join them. this is the question is no longer on whether we phase out causal and, and gas. when costs outside is going to find good fun, such and major players in the global climate game has been dragging that heels, including gemini in recent years, which is full of accounts that ungrammatical found out. honestly is sometimes defined no seem honda meant by the quotes. in april 2021. the german government was
8:41 pm
given a very public wake up coal when the country's constitutional courts issued a historic ruling. requiring legislatures to significantly improve climate protection measures. in another landmark ruling in the netherlands, just one month late to a quote, audit oil multi national show to drastically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. 2 cases with the potential to set a global precedence of quotes, subbing as environmental policy. what stokes vital progress on the climate protection front at the 11th hour, the ice climate dining on noise inbox, and on a very precarious descent today in the content of van in switzerland to explore the plan, multiply, see it from the inside. deep in this class, he find spectacular rock and ice formations. not many people have
8:42 pm
ever been down here. the . the ice is thousands of years old and still solid and stable enough for dani to hack his acts into enabling him to get to the very bottom. it says steep and dangerous to send back out a unique experience, not least because it might not be possible in the foreseeable future. the smoke least not through the show. no, no. thankfully, let me get super lake it does. it makes you think if you bear in mind that researchers say that none of this will be here any more in 90 years time, no more glaciers. that's pretty tragic, isn't it? you can read it all things. yeah. the, this is the audit shalysea like lies in the swiss alps over 20 columbus,
8:43 pm
his loan and in pumps. nearly one kind of mistake uses a from the switch federal institute of technology. and so rick has been investigating this, a massive natural one to win, at least this month, stuff as the calls that survive in a cruise future. we can really do anything because no, the glacier is reacting to the shifting of the climate was the increase of the temperature that we had in from the 9th. so it means that even if we don't, whatever happened is a fixed random assignment sufficient with keep or treat at least 5 kilometers on time. and what would happen if temperatures were actually to rise by 4 degrees as x that's now predict deal, which is a, has calculated the by the end of the century, the unexplained c o would then have almost completely disappeared. so if
8:44 pm
we, i mean, if we assume that this time its value is right, we don't cure it. it's most likely that there may be very new to ice by 2100. and yet i'll do that here in this landscape that would be normal ice, no longer ice. at the end of this century, the further out please visit the come code you alpine hands the
8:45 pm
for the last few years. it's being run by kristof saga and his family. he's come up here today to get it ready for the summer season. of the can accommodate 155 guests alpine high cuz ski is and place it into the assets from all over the world. thanks to its panoramic views, the concordia heart is one of the most popular alpine hospitals in europe. there is just the same style, but it's not to you. it's the most beautiful place in the world to work through this, and i know other alti and huts that are lovely of a, to me, this is just the most amazing place to work in, and on opposite, but often. but the on it,
8:46 pm
she's in long term grave and seemingly timing of danger. kristof saga goes down a few steep steps from the hot to point out the indications that the largest place here in the alps is retreating. so often when the people don't seem to go to the hit, then just to get the hutch was originally built on the spot in 1877, back then the police here reached roughly to where we're standing at. so in the course of 140 years, everything further down has multiple sales together like this one, it's retreated about 150 meters owned for the place to place. so 150 meters in $140.00 is a mutual so yeah, the,
8:47 pm
the ice is mounting as a growing pace. sometimes 2, sometimes 3 mates as a even this giant typically see is days on the ongoing global warming is likely to affect most of the towns and cities in siberia and in russia's far east. about 25000000 people. you know, how serious is the impact of permafrost melting? measurements taken by the global terrestrial networks diploma for us to give us an idea. in 1996, the permafrost melted to a depth of 45 centimeters in the summer. by 2017, the figure was 87 cents and meters twice as deep in just 20 years.
8:48 pm
the. this poses a danger to base people and infrastructure pipelines for district teaching natural gas and oil. a particularly effective green pace is estimated that leaks and pipelines caused by the ground underneath subsiding, leading to about one percent of oil being last that oil, some $5000000.00 tons of it each year, seats into the ground, the, the residents of the optics. se of chowsky and the russian republic of soccer. among those witnessing this rapid transformation temperatures, the rising inexorably spouse on the streets has begun to buckle on several buildings is showing signs that the ground they will once build tone is no longer so solid. just started to sink chowsky on the river is also home to
8:49 pm
the scientist and climate activist need you to zima even though temperatures he had dropped to minus 60 degrees celsius in the winter. the continuing erosion of the permafrost soil is relentless. this is especially apparent the former water treatment plants like old, the building c, a. it was erected onto pillars. it's been only 2 years since the us began to subside chance. now the crate to is already 10 meters. the truck is going. so what it was here a week ago, there was some, those 2 places still in the air. and now we came there already because it comes down and there's a huge news going underneath it there for us. the way this is,
8:50 pm
i mean they're all that and eventually old at solve, you'll come up also. so this person's kind of go and then, you know, send to me, there's a date, maybe 10, something for me to stay with the whole basis. so we have students to be within the powerful area and now with climate getting warm, i pamphlets and also getting warm and we synchronization adults like that. so hold in for the for extra in the next few, the kids will probably be come up with considerable s, as he certainly is possible to secure individual buildings. so the idea of risk completely saving brushes east if he is to be a losing battle. the early signs of a heat stage around the horizon, the, the in central gemini cast in vision is fighting to preserve the last remaining
8:51 pm
wetlands of them and still and region intensive, foaming and draining, have already destroyed 95 percent of gym and east motion. the biologist and climate activist wants to see the re irrigation of these unique eco systems. alice lessons, i hope more, who 9 say everything that ends up being a res vault like this is conserved a civic conditions in the absence of oxygen mean there's no dictation. and that's what makes the book so valuable for climate protection. we are in these 2 endless amounts of calvin and do not release any of those by hand when you may have you folks grow by just one millimeter. yeah. the cent more has had 6000 is to store vast quantities of comp and when it comes into contact with oxygen is the result of draining that pete land likewise becomes a common form in similar style to the russian. i'm
8:52 pm
a frost pretends to people in the zone, the cause of 3 percent of the slammed surface book contains 30 percent of all call the numbers of him, which working on the scale of that. if it does little now decompose the so then enters the a as easier to. then we'll have a massive line that problem a pull the as well climate champions like casting vision determines to restore those precious pete lands. some of the remaining natural power dices on the planets are under increasing the brutal assaults. connie mentioned the indonesian odd 50 island, disappointing in the
8:53 pm
much if this jungle is located in swamps and whatnot. deforestation here means a 2 fold carbon dioxide disaster, the session ben, practices of rice hands. the primary reasons the wanton destruction is that renew most amount to palm while it's used as a diesel fuel additive and is found in counting this product. so you know, steep and markets everything from cosmetics, to cooking, oil, soups and candy intermediaries, by far the world's biggest supplier of com, well, it's not covered in plantations as far as the i can see. and beyond. among them that is belonging to mohammed rossi. he started out certainly
8:54 pm
a few years ago with just to heck test rapid profits enables him to buy more land and grow more trees. but it is continually growing business empire now stretches to 300 heck to has not the by. yeah, there are many perennial crops of them, but i've not found one that makes more money than tom. only alive i hadn't and more money means more deforestation. almost 11000 kilometers away from bonia, researches are working on the way out algae and the strains of the secret weapons that the synthetic biotechnology research department at unix technical university. they can be used in a huge range of products, says professor tool must plug robust building blocks made of common, sued biofuels. and indeed also which is something of
8:55 pm
a scientific sensation. since that takes palm while there is colossal demand from industry for the palm, while substitute the research has now want to rapidly scale out production from a 1000 liters to 10 or even a 100000 liters together with his doctoral student to pollute. because the coded a use strain with unique characteristics, the cells contend 90 percent of the mass into an oil with the quality but just identical to that of natural palm while same yet i might be 1st to go through and i might be festal, console, english, zip off cuz i'm here we have the liquid friction and the solid function which looks similar to purified pamela complex. a big difference is doctor process is completely independent of farming activity and clements conditions throughout the day. so that's the most we don't need to clear on a rain forest when like with
8:56 pm
a large scale palm while the production or beat us 5. so a product is 100 percent sustainable. and also commercially competitive with the palm are already available phones all costs, which corporate it to you from it in private. that's one option called back in indonesia, the fruits that the trees that produce the tracy, the oil way up to 50 kilos pub bunch. and we'll have to draw g has how this of up to a 1000 tons per month, and no shortage of bias. simone seems to be insatiable to me and it was such as they want to destroy jobs in indonesia, their aim is to setup lebeau at trees. on the ground as co operate with local farmers. the response so far has been encouraging the positive one that must have got to be there to find out what the problem was. i was kinda without a small this is a new invention that's foster and simpler than al farming method is about the end.
8:57 pm
we've huge profits. there's so many advantages in terms of efficiency, mean profitability and prosperity for everyone. and what kind of cools every palm oil producer is going to be interested in getting got this is why the i'm going to be getting started. got my own the
8:58 pm
. ready the . ready the to the point, strong, clear positions, international perspectives. the day so summit in vilnius was told that i was somebody else to products, showing unity strength. but you crates, president zalinski left disappointed,
8:59 pm
and we also need to know security for ukraine to this point. dw, the hey guys, it's evelyn charmaya. welcome to my pod cast off matters that i am by celebrities, influenza and experts to talk about all plain loves data and yet today, nothing less. the south. all these things in more and the new season of the fuck. com, make sure to tune in wherever you get your thoughts costs, enjoying the conversation because you know it's last matter the
9:00 pm
. this is dw news live and from berlin tonight, southern europe sweltering under extreme heat, temperatures soaring about 40 degrees celsius as a 100 degrees fahrenheit. millions urge to stay indoors in the a see from rome to also coming up tonight checked by some hills need a unit t after is.
