in book form, imagine how many portions of loves us are now in the world. climate change. the story faces much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to work. i'm going to access the
4:16 am
mountains of always being a sole school and donny arnold and his friend derrick stream mountain is here on a quest for the ultimate swim. the scaling, the pitts pending at healey falls 1000 meters above sea level. when selecting the color, i knew him or in your axe and here the attention of cracking and hissing sound as it breaks into the ice blocked. it's just awesome. that is the sink. reading number of scientists, the saying that adventures like this might soon become impossible to level roaming is mounting the can. i see is of the usually tall people
4:17 am
on the cliff teeth even 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 europe have been last 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 as 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 no less ice and few iglesias the european alps as we know them now will
4:18 am
soon be many a memory the we move in critical 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. the
4:19 am
nicky to the muff trained as a mathematician, but once he observed here in the far east of russia prompted him to change course on 10 climate activist. he's now dedicated his life 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 take really number of raf fossils to reset this. so this is the most word not the biggest one, but every size 20. so here was
4:20 am
the prices in the system here was huge. and then there was 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 square skeletons. so every once in a while there every way you look the hillside siding down into the river, the results of permafrost. amount is the most has done. 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 large pumps of russia. could spell dramatic change to the climate. the amount of by a mass lying dormant in the permafrost is immense. is the carbon dioxide and me
4:21 am
saying, accumulates it in the ground or 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 call this the totals and put them on the one side of the bones and on the other side of the bill and split all the above ground, visitation of the planet. so basically all the trees and shrubs of the printer, you will see that they started read those ways more and the better for us to stop the great everywhere. all these really become available for microstates and they will very soon cause this to a, to a method. for
4:22 am
those eyes, your eyes out there. and you see, when the size is melting, the what is mixing with this store and create them this month. full sweet, you gentlemen, down the slope and the conditions have been very rapidly here. so it's the 2 companies have both lots of carbon and what's the price, and that's the give you a better off of the carbon, but a self perpetuating vicious cycle in which global warming release is a growing quantity of greenhouse gases, leading to have a higher temperatures 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 got the most since it was shut down at the end of 2021. that's positive, gemini, some u. k. 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, meaning more instead of less c,
4:23 am
o 2, me st. 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 tums 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
4:24 am
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're now seeing a growing number of countries assessing themselves, the goal and the coming climate neutral to you like cups of emissions to 0 hots event. and also let me see one so we can see in 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 saving 630 giga tons by 20 such a say, the exponent of sex adjustments. so the true if this emission intensive to
4:25 am
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 to those 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 see get tons. is this even possible now to the source of the issue, the new way is faint for its abundance of lakes, fjords, rivers and streams, and
4:26 am
o most inexhaustible supply of energy for society if you store the source immersive 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 are the maximum capacity here is 3, and that's 50 megawatts. it is
4:27 am
a 100 times to buy big on one of the biggest it. and where does all that surplus energy go fast to this substation not fall from the comes on from that to gemini virus sub c cable. this enables base countries to renee or receive clean, green energy circumstances demand. linda does a lot of the more n g then government use, they can send it to us and we can stuff around machines and save a lot of to for the future. when the doing is not following in the 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 new away and wind swept, gemini, went online in may. 2021. north link runs between tons that where the power lines
4:28 am
have an old of a buzz to vista in northern germany, where the 1400 megawatts have more of a home. in siri, this balance of production and demand would work inside gemini, to wear it. 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 newest 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 waves, no link, at least there's no such profligacy. what are we doing here is connecting gym and wind energy. we don't know which of the hydro power on the, in the process of making the system fall more robust and raping the benefits both energy so so that you know tank is a european showcase project. and the boost for gemini is energy transition and the expansion of renewables,
4:29 am
even if it's just the 1st step you've been to of us here until now the transitions, the mostly about electricity. we now have 50 percent renewables, you know, great. but they only constitute 10 percent of total energy needs type of thing. so with 90 percent, to cover over the next 25 years, it's time to speed up the touch of this temple. not going back to the greenhouse gas cups needed by 20. so see, what does the 1st and least challenging category of meshes comprise and how would they help how's photo noise binding the increased renewables production that's called based our in china reduction ends in india or in few floor nights of greenhouse gases. us as these are relatively simple measures that could be implemented quickly together to mean cutting around $3.00 giga thompson, soccer stadium example is showing its 1st patches of green,
4:30 am
a $3.00 giga tundra in greenhouse gases is a good 12 percent have this does he get good tons that need to go by 20 searching global in equality and injustice of being exacerbated by the on the presidency, effects of climate change. while the rich northern hemisphere continues to police via those bearing the but not primarily towards the south, mostly around the equate to 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 poles 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 being taken out of school parent say conditions and the damp and foul smelling class rooms are unacceptable. the
4:31 am
teacher unless jr. d. rama toola used to be a pupil himself at the elementary school, and is now doing his best on the trying conditions to braves the elements with his lessons. he tells us about the 1st time his classroom is frontage. in 2013, i have a mazda fidelity, extremely difficult for all of us here in being in. we often have to send the pupils home. because when the tide comes and they're sitting in the water up to their legs and then the regular classes are impossible, leaving teaches unable to keep up to shed you in 5 or 6 years time. as a teacher, the entire school will be so much, then that'd be nobody left to you the but how will the world be firing in 3 decades from now in 2050. but at that
4:32 am
time, there will be the most extreme for this is of, of the forward with our $17000.00 islands that live close. and that really be it's enough by the sea. so life fill up is the same as here. there's a lot of illnesses that replace them. they kind of make groves off the hook on a well, they've been disturbed by horizontal safe one. again, the cell there because fighting for food, water, maybe arrows here. that's a very sad fixer in 2050. as the homelands become impossible to live and people will leave the suitcase in order to survive, climate migration is already with us. and this is just the beginning. to build a new mode, several zones of the earth will become literally uninhabitable because it's too hot
4:33 am
. there's flooding or the so it was not farmable just for pretty good to you. out of the day, the struggling to talking are people in the mood in the media and then the 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. because of the time in the world seems to be heading towards a deeply worrying feature. 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 the room so affected permafrost, x, but michelle called plaza from unix technical universe to assemble the 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 between australia and gemini,
4:34 am
is so small that the helicopter cannot touch down properly. right next to the summit, it is a crevice that has widened rapidly 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 on 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 be steed or stacy broke mass has a total volume of 260000 cubic meters, which isn't long. it's weak. so that's
4:35 am
a send somebody to since we'd be contacting them. as i mentioned the 2014 or i think i'm currently the right has a few millimeters per month on the different months. so one is, estimation is a so strong once you can change so quickly because it wouldn't be long and it'll comes flying down or the contents leaving this year on the futures coming east or squeezing 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 to something that residents so well aware of in the village of bundle in southeast switzerland. for adverbs, as honest it's time to say good bye to the house. she's lived in her entire life today. it's been demolished. it's my house. i'm shy when i look at my
4:36 am
house, it's so long, but it's gradually dine. it does make the change. i'll think of it, but we're prepared for that. i said in the summer of 2017. i must have land snide 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 fate chunks of rock falling down south. it looked like lava because it was so slow, so and silent as the ice water and sewage the ac. this footage was captured by the security camera of a copy and to show the land side left a tie cuz dead and the village pump the destroy another disaster resulting from climate change. the sending
4:37 am
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 scene africa or south east asia. but t a to the number of people on the scratch 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 naomi nice health has been living a secluded existence. he if of a 3 decades the nearest town is some ac. columbus has away us and keeping firing just fine for all of those. he is official by trade. he had a monopoly on the launch lake directly behind his head of all the
4:38 am
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 you that's me. but the days of plenty, and that was because his lake no longer exists. it used to stretch 15 kilometers, but it has been reduced to a handful of ponds on to reaching any diploma for us to frozen and solidified an actual dam. separating the lake from the river. the rising temperatures, however, caused the once permanent tice to melt away. eventually the dam broke
4:39 am
the breach occurred just a few weeks ago, during yes and as a hot summer. does that mean? yeah, so to move as much, we're building. well, that'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. but those are still, the fishermen was far from the enemy. want to have underestimated the pace of which the climate is already changing. now there's no time to lose service. such is governments and industry to take action. the use greendale launch to make you rip the 1st climate. mutual continuance by 2050 is
4:40 am
a step in the right direction and the forgotten advise the mind because of a man's gigs the much. what's endorsements to us microsoft has to be center console in the past. and it's one major argument against find that protection in germany was that nobody else was doing in a thing like that. but that doesn't wash any logical china as now the candidates winning this to go climate neutral was on phase out coal and gosh, c as, as the us stick together with the and these countries cover a lot part of the capital markets like that. so the rest of the world has to join those is the question is no longer with a we phase out called oil and gas when gas outside, as the fog of fun such and major players in the global climate game has been dragging the hills, including gemini, in recent years, which is form a challenge, so that ungrammatical found out. policy is sometimes defined, smell seem. honda meant by the quotes. in april 2021, the german government was given
4:41 am
a very public wake of coal when the country's constitutional courts issued a historic ruling. requiring legislators to significantly improve climate protection measures. in another landmark building in the netherlands, just one months late to a quote, audit oil and multinational show to drastically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to cases with the potential to set a global precedence of quotes. subbing as environmental policy watch dogs, vital progress on the climate protection front. at the 11th hour, the ice climate, donnie arnold, is embarking on a very precarious descent today in the content of the band in switzerland to explore the plan multiply, see from the inside. deep in this could fast you find spectacular rock and ice formations. many people have ever been down here,
4:42 am
the height then the ice is thousands of years old and still solid and stable enough for donny to hack his axe 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 this month, at least not through the show and open off thing. please let me hits dupel 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 reach at all. thank you. the, this is the audit shalysea. likewise, in the swiss alps of
4:43 am
a 20 kilometers long and in pumps, nearly one kind of interesting deal, which is a, from the switch federal institute of technology. and so rick has been investigating this semester of natural one to win, at least this monster as he closed it, survive in the cruise for sure, we can really do anything because no, the glacier is reacting to the shifting. so climate was the increase of temperature that we had in for the 9th. so it means that even if we don't, whatever happened in the future in time of time at felicia with keep retreat at least 5 kilometers and time. and what would happen if temperatures will actually to rise by 4 degrees as x, that's now predict games as a has calculated the by the end of the century, the audit garcia would then have almost completely disappeared. so if
4:44 am
we, i mean, if we assume that this time it's not always right, we will cure it. it's most likely that we'd be very new to ice by 2100 and you get a chance. i'll do that here in the sounds k do would be normal ice, no longer ice. adiana was essentially the size of rock. we visit the come code, you alpine hands the
4:45 am
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. the . it 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 spots here. it's the most beautiful place in the world to work for this and all i know other outside hearts that are lovely. a, to me, this is just the most amazing place to work and, and on opposite what force the but the on it,
4:46 am
she's in long term grave and seemingly terminal 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 them just because the hook 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 no tool to help you out and look at this one, it's retreated about 150 meters owned for the place to place. is 150 meters in $140.00 is a mutual so yeah, the,
4:47 am
the ice is mounting as a growing pace. sometimes 2, sometimes 3 mates has a the, even this giant of iglesia is days on. the ongoing global warming is likely to affect most of the towns and cities inside the area and in bushes far east about 25000000 people. you know, how serious is the impact of the permafrost melting measurements taken by the global terrestrial networks of time for us to give us an idea? in 1996 the pen, the for us to 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.
4:48 am
the, this poses a danger to base people and infrastructure pipe times the district, teaching natural gas and oil. a particularly effective green pace is estimated that leaks and pipelines caused by the ground on denise subsiding, leading to about one percent of oil being lost. 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 spouts on the streets has begun to buckle on. several buildings are showing signs that the ground they will once build tone is no longer so solid to started to sink. chaskin is also home to
4:49 am
the scientist and climate activist. because the month 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 buildings here, it was erected onto pillars. it's been only 2 years since the us began to subsides here. now the crate to is already 10 meters deep, 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 is a huge news going underneath it there for us. the way this is this,
4:50 am
i mean that old it 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 day, maybe 10, something give me the day when the whole day to. so we have serious building the 3rd 4th area and now with climate getting warm at samples, there's also getting worse. and we think of the base and it will feel like that. so all the infrastructure and 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 in central gemini cast and vision is fighting to preserve the last remaining
4:51 am
wetlands of them in still and region. intensive, foaming and draining, have already destroyed 95 percent of germany's motions. the biologist and climate activist wants to see the re irrigation of these unique eco systems. so i hope he 9 say everything that ends up being a raised volt like this is concerning. a civic conditions in the absence of oxygen mean there's no degradation. and that's what makes the book so valuable for climate protection. we are in these 2 ends, this amounts of comp and then do not release any of those by henry may have you folks grow by just one millimeter? yeah, the spend 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
4:52 am
a frost pretends to people in 70 cause a 3 percent of the slimy surface book contain 30 percent of our carbon resolving. we're talking on the scale of that. if it doesn't now decompose this and enters the a as a year to. then we'll have a mass of climate problem upholding as well climate champions. light cast in 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 montana, the indonesian parts of the island, just born in the

4:55 am
a scientific sensation synthetic 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 put cuz 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 the same. yeah, i might be 1st to get caught soon. i might be festal console, n z off, cuz i'm here we have the liquid fraction of the solid fraction which looks similar to purified pamela oil companies. a big difference is dr. process is completely independent of farming activity and clements conditions came up with the foods. that's least plus we don't need to clear on a rain forest when like with a large scale palm while the production or beat us 5. so our product is 100 percent
