5:15 pm
means and has in recent years, been celebrated for her political activism. well, that's all the news we have for you. for now, we will leave you with some water sports from the canary islands. the wing for world cup was contested on sunday, in perfect conditions for competitors to sail and take flights. enjoy and thanks so much for watching the interest, the global economy, our portfolio dw business be here's a closer look at the project. to analyze the flight for market dominance
5:16 pm
with d w business beyond the mountains of always being a source of 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 are in your acts and here the attention of cracking and hissing sound as it breaks into the ice blocks. it's just awesome to make a basic reading number of scientists saying that adventures like this might soon become impossible. level roaming is mounting the can. i see,
5:17 pm
as you said, tall people on the cliff t you 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 europe. i've 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
5:18 pm
soon be many a memory the we need 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,
5:19 pm
[000:00:00;00] the nickie to the muff trained as a mathematician. but once he observed here in the far east of russia, prompted him to change cools on 10 climate activist. he's now dedicated to his life to preserving the frozen layer of soil under the surface. here by the banks of the clergy, my 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 a growing number of wrathful souls to reset this. so it's use of the most word not the biggest one,
5:20 pm
but it really size 20. so here was 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 later on $600.00, it's cute, it's got it done. so every once in a while there in every way you look the hillside siding down into the river, the results of permafrost mount 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 spelled dramatic change to the climate the amount of by
5:21 pm
a mass line to mention the permafrost is immense. is the carbon dioxide and me saying accumulates, didn't the ground with to escape into the atmosphere? the pace of climate change with increased dramatically the live growth 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 loosely doorbells and put them on the one side of the bones. and on the other side of the bill and put all the above ground, which they should have to put in. and 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 start to degrade everywhere. all these would be,
5:22 pm
we will become available for microstates and they will very soon go to do because it's due to a method for 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 gathered most since it was shut down at the end of 2021. that's positive, gemini, some u. k. of phase out,
5:23 pm
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, 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 $55000000000.00 times, and by the end of the century, the us, which he taught 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
5:24 pm
arrive at 2 decades. now, professor nicholas, who now has been tracking the environmental policies of the biggest and mrs. a task that led to growing frustration over the years with governments doing a lot of talking, but taking precious little action designs. if you give us a pen, there are signs. however, a slight reversal of the international community has actually been getting serious about phasing out call or these guys have the the powers climate agreement was signed in 2015. but we now seeing a growing number of countries, staffing 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 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 to this would require emission savings
5:25 pm
that society giga comes by 20 such a say the expos sucks adjustments so that you get those 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 job. so 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 30 giga tons. is this even possible now to the source of the issue,
5:26 pm
the new way is famed for its abundance of lakes fjords, rivers and streams. an almost inexhaustible supply of energy for society if you store the soul in rest and 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 device, and that must be here for you. offensive megawatts. it is
5:27 pm
a 100 times and all the way until by reflecting 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 those countries to renee overseas 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 that we working together to, to get the best out of the direct power links between most of which new away and when swift gemini,
5:28 pm
went online in may 2021. north link runs between tons that with the power lines 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 illegal 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 y 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 far more robust and reaping the benefits of both energy source to let you know. thank is a european showcase project. and the boost for gemini is energy transition and the
5:29 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 renewables, you know, agreed. but they only constitute 10 percent of total energy needs, hyphen and so with 90 percent of cover over the next 25 years. it's time to speed up. yep. that's what these templates are going back to the greenhouse gas cops needed by 2030. what does the 1st and least challenging category of meshes comprise and how would they help postpone illinois binding the increase 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. so, i mean, cutting around $3.00 giga comes from soccer stadium example is showing its fast
5:30 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 searching global inequality and injustice of being exacerbated by the on the presence 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 equator in countries such as indonesia. this middle village, by the indian ocean, is called pens high behind you. rising sea levels and to rent shall 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. se conditions in the damp and foul smelling classrooms are unacceptable.
5:31 pm
the teacher 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 braves the elements with his lessons. he tells us about the 1st time his classroom was started in 2013. but i have a mazda fidelity, extremely difficult for all of us here in the, in. we often have to send the people's home. because when the tide comes in, they're sitting in the water up to their legs and then the task 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 since much, then that'd be nobody left here. the
5:32 pm
. but how will the world's be firing in 3 decades from now in 2050. but at that time, there will be the most extreme vicious off of the forward with our $17000.00 islands that live 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 every place. and they come to make groves off the hook. i'm a little bit of a disturbed by horizontal safe. the one again, the sale the because fighting 5 foot water, maybe arrows here that says easy, very sad picture 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
5:33 pm
. there's flooding or the, sorry it was not farmable, it's hopefully good to you out 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 to persecution, but 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 prepare for permafrost melting away and no longer holding the soil together the european out. so we've so affected the frost stacks, but michelle cote plaza from unix technical university is 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
5:34 pm
between australia and gemini, is so small that the helicopter cannot touch down properly. right next to the summit, 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 a 2600 meters, is a risky undertaking. what could happen if the summit collapses? doesn't bass thinking about the, the face possibly be state or space?
5:35 pm
rock mass has a total volume of 260000 cubic meters, which isn't long. it's weak. so that's he send somebody to since we'd be contacting the measurements and the 2014 or i think i'm currently the right has a few millimeters come out with all the different ones that one is estimations of so strong when so you can change so quickly that it wouldn't be long, infinity will 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 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 been demolished here to my house.
5:36 pm
i'm shy when i look at my house, it's so long, but it's gradually dine. it does make me feel john dials, think of it, but were prepared for that. i said, in the summer of 2017, i must have land snyde starting on the pits, changed a low mountain brook 3000000 cubic meters of rock, crushing down into the valley. doves whose desperate, stiff sewing in the hose, and i suddenly 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 destroyer. another disaster resulting from climate change.
5:37 pm
the sending 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 siberia and the far east of russia cannot be compared to equally to that in africa or south east asia. but he had 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 need. nowadays, health has been living a secluded existence. he if of a 3 decades the nearest town is some ac. columbus has a way and keeping firing just fine for all of those. he is official by trade. he had
5:38 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 for the way ending him as a 5 heroes per kilo, with an average specimen weighing some 15 kilos. this 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 originally depend the frosted, frozen, and solidified and natural dam separating the lake from the river. the rising temperatures, however,
5:39 pm
caused the once permanent tice to melt away. eventually the dam broke, the breach occurred just a few weeks ago during yes and as a hot summer. does it mean? yeah, so to move as much, we're building, 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. but those are still, the fishermen was far from the only one to have underestimated 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,
5:40 pm
the use greendale launch to make you read the 1st climate mutual continents by 2050 is a step in the right direction. forgotten advise the mountain view because of a man's gigs the much. what's endorsement does microsoft touch the 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 watch any logical china, it has not declared its willingness to go climate neutral, was on phase out coal. and gosh, c s has the us sticking together with the and these countries cover a lot of parts of the capital market like that. so the rest of the world has to join those is the question is no longer on whether we phase out causal and, and gas. when it costs outside, as the fact of the fun, such and major players in the global climate game has been dragging that heels, including gemini in recent years, but just form a chance that ungrammatical found out. policy is sometimes defined, no seem complement, but by the quotes. in april 2021, the german government was given
5:41 pm
a very public wake of coal when the country's constitutional court issued a historic ruling. requiring legislatures to significantly improve climate protection measures. in another landmark willing in the netherlands, just one month late to a quote, audit oil multi national show to drastically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 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, donnie arnold, is embarking on a very precarious descent today in the content of fan in switzerland to explore the plan multiply, see it from the inside. deep in this curve ass, he find spectacular rock and ice formations. not many people have
5:42 pm
ever been down here the of the device when 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. the smoke least not through the show milk. no tang, please. when you get stupid 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 through all things. yeah. the,
5:43 pm
this is the audit shalysea. likewise, in the swiss, out of a 20 kilometers 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 he closed it, survive in a cruise for sure we can really do anything because no, the glacier is reacting to the shift and the climate was the increase of the 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, up to be sure with keep or treat at least 5 kilometers with and what would happen if temperature is what actually to rise by 4 degrees as x, that's now predict gms is a, has calculated that by the end of the century,
5:44 pm
the audit garcia would then have almost completely disappeared. so if we, i mean, if we assume that this time it's not always right. we don't cure it's most likely something we'd 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 was essentially the size of rock. we visit the concordia outline house
5:45 pm
the 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. this is all i know other outside hearts that are lovely. a to me,
5:46 pm
this is just the most amazing place to work in and not all but what's often but the on it, she's in long term grave and seemingly terminal danger. kristof that goes down to 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 hot 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 of 150 meters in 140 is a mutual so yeah,
5:47 pm
the, the ice is mounting as a growing pace. sometimes 2, sometimes 3 mates has a the, even this giant of iglesia is days on them, but 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 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.
5:48 pm
the. this poses a danger to base people and infrastructure pipe times for 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 optic city 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 are showing signs that the ground they will, once build toned is no longer so solid,
5:49 pm
just started to sink. chaskin is also home to the scientist and climate activist the tubs, 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's a huge news going underneath it there for us. the way this is,
5:50 pm
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. so we can see this building the 3rd or 4th area and now requirements getting warm and pamphlets is also getting warm. and we think of the base and it will feel like that. so all the infrastructure 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
5:51 pm
in central gemini cast and vision is fighting to preserve the last remaining 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 as well. so i hope more 9 say everything that ends up being a raised volt like this is conserved 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 cent moore 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
5:52 pm
a common boom in similar style to the russian. a frost pretends to people in 70 cause a 3 percent of the slimy surface book contains 30 percent of i'll call the numbers of him which working on the scale of that. if it doesn't now decompose this and enters the a as easier to. then we'll have a mass of climate problem. i pulled him 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 engine nation parts of the island,
5:53 pm
just born in the 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 our renew. most amount of palm while it's used as a diesel fuel additive discount in countless products. you know, seeping lockets everything from cosmetics to cooking oil, soups and candy. ready indonesia is by far, the world's biggest supplier is calm. well, it's not covered in plantations as far as the i can see. and beyond.
5:54 pm
among them those belonging to mohammed rossi. he started out certainly a few years ago with just to hacked has rapid profits enables him to buy more land and grow more trees like his continually growing business empire and now stretches to $300.00 heck tazz is not the fine young man. there are many perennial crops or long, but i've not found one that makes more money than tom. only like i was having more money means more deforestation. almost. 11000 kilometers away from borneo, researches are working on the way out algae and the strains of the secret weapons that distance that take biotechnology research department at unix technical university. they can be used in a huge range of products, says professor to must plug robust building blocks made of common, sued biofuels. and indeed also which is something of
5:55 pm
a scientific sensation. since that takes palm while there is colossal demand from industry for the palm, while substitute the research has now one too rapidly scale up production from a 1000 liters to 10 or even a 100000 liters. together with his duck trow, student cook has the code it i use to 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 and the zip of design. here we have the liquid function and the solid function, which looks similar to purified pamela oil companies. the big difference is doctor process is completely independent of farming activity and climates conditions. so that's the slowest we don't need to clear any random forest. when like with
5:56 pm
a large scale palm while production was beat us by, so a product is 100 percent sustainable and also commercially competitive. the palm are already available points, all costs which competed chief, admitting private. that's one of our difficult of the back in indonesia. the fruits of the trees that produce the treasure, the oil way up to 50 kilos pub bunch from i know how to draw g has how this of up to a 1000 times per month and no shortage of bias. demand seems to be insatiable to me and it was such as they want to destroy jobs and 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. then when i say i'm going to be there to find out what the problem is, i would kinda without a small this is a new invention that's foster and simpler than l farming method. so at the end
5:57 pm
we've huge profits. there is so many advantages in terms of efficiency, me profitability and prosperity for everyone. and what kind of cools every palm oil producer is going to be interested in getting got. so i, so how do you and what do you get to the store to download
5:58 pm
the . ready ready the . ready the content bursting with creativity, need to design is and cultural icons, aspartame, lifestyle,
5:59 pm
as complex as diverse and exciting as the content in itself is free back in 30 minutes on dw, the, the schedule issues or thoughts say, well, crazy the, i'm not that i love and that's really i've loved her since the beginning because of her character because of her courage and how she thinks. ready this reading suit today for nearly 4 decades, she's thoughts peacefully for grades of freedoms in their home, then they run in spite of bump,
6:00 pm
very government reprisals and income. if you look into how nice the 3 stats july 29th and d w. the, you're watching the, the news live from berlin heats and wild weather sweep across the gold globe seat warnings have been issued across the united states, but the tourists are flocking to death valley, hoping to see a new record. high temperature climate activists are sounding the alarm,
