will do i skip melvin and concentrate on trying to win one more and equalling junk of each. it's one more right story. we got an awful lot from sundays means final. but what if there's one more in the kit bag of attendance that this year ending to next year? but guess alvarez's coming to the point of reference got one more shot, a story lines every it will watch out for that. thanks for putting it all in perspective. for us, so it was anthony however from dw sports. thanks or or you're watching dw news from berlin up next we've got a documentary film for you looking at how activists are calm batting climate change . but i'm terry martin. thanks for watching the for nearly 4 decades, she is full peacefully for grace of freedom in the wrong nursing suit today. ready children should not inherit science from an age limit to look
2:16 pm
into how nice the 3 dots to lie. 29 on d w. mountains have always been a sole school and donny arnold and his friend direct stream mountain. he is here on a quest for the ultimate swim. the investigating the pitts. peggy at 24000 meters above sea level, once lakes and pacola. i'm my new hammer in your acts and here the attention of cracking and hissing sound as it breaks into the ice blocks. it's just awesome that make a growing number of scientists saying that adventures like this might soon become impossible. level roaming is melting. that makes these
2:17 pm
easy talk. people on the police 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 to europe. i've been else few years, we monitor the impact of climate change, torrential rain, and floods a devastating drought and the ominous stretch of permafrost. so that hope is not enough. thanks to an unprecedented number of people working to come back to climate change from researches 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 know less ice and few iglesias the european outs,
2:18 pm
as we know them now will soon be many a memory the we need to increase the cal times if we do not respond to nature's warnings, we will find ourselves at the brink of the human maids to change the . 2 the world's coldest regions are among the absolute hot spots. this climate change, the optic, the antarctic, alaska, and the vast permafrost regions of russia. 2 the
2:19 pm
nikita's, 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 nice to preserving the frozen layer of soil under the surface. here by the banks of the clergy, my with them in 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 this is the moment forward. not the biggest one, but everybody says 20. so here was
2:20 pm
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 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 large parts of russia. could spell dramatic change to the climate the amount of by a mass line to mention the permafrost is immense,
2:21 pm
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 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 who was that the great everywhere. all these would be we will become available for microstates and they will very soon cause the thing to do. so i was good to a, to
2:22 pm
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 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 2 smaller scale. at the same
2:23 pm
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 a fig. 55000000000 toms. 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 o 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
2:24 pm
that led to growing frustration over the years with governments doing a lot of talking, but taking precious little action of this transition. yeah. and you can just depends. 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 cuts of emissions, to 0 hots with that. and as a me see one. so we can see in the north scientists that 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 sucks adjustments. so that through it says,
2:25 pm
emission intensive to illustrate what that entails will use a soccer stadium as a scale down model of the island 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 30 giga tons. is this even possible now to the source of the issue, the
2:26 pm
new way is faint for its abundance of lakes, fjords, rivers and streams, and o most inexhaustible supply of energy for society if you still the source in rest of twice as the norwegians do the here at the tone started pilot chance in southern no way go to to your home, opens the gate to another world inside of rocky hillsides. he'll be showing us how the country manages to produce more energy than it consumes with the help of 1600 hydro electric facilities. that homestead facility alone generates enough energy to power the homes of a city of one and a half 1000000 people. it's which is plunged to a depth of 440 meters, sierra 3 on the 20 megawatts. it is time to buy
2:27 pm
big on one of the biggest. and where does all that surplus energy go fast to the substation not fall from the pounds. and from that to gemini virus sub c cable. this enables base countries to renee overseas, keen, green energy circumstances, demand one that does a lot of uh, more energy than government use. they can send it to us and we can stuff around machines and save a lot to for the future. when the domain is not throwing in uh, in germany, we can uh produce and send it back. uh so in that way that uh we working together to, to get the best out of it, the direct power links between most of which new away and when swift gemini, went online in may 2021. north link runs between town stats, where the power lines have an old of a buzz to vista in northern gemini,
2:28 pm
where the 1400 megawatts have more of a home in the scenery. 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 is a heating and turbines having to be temporarily shut down a waste of energy with valuable green electricity lost in the wind with node link, at least there's no such profligacy. what are we doing here is connecting gym and wind energy. we own a wage and the hydro power on the, in the process of making the system far more robust and reaping the benefits of both energy so. so that's, you know, i think is a european showcase project and the boost for gemini is energy transition and the expansion of renewables, even if it's just the 1st step you've been developing. save until now the
2:29 pm
transitions, the mostly about electricity. we now have 50 percent renewables, you know, agreed, but they only constitute 10 percent of total energy needs. so with 19 percent to cover over the next 25 years, it's time to speed up to this temple. now. going back to the greenhouse gas cups needed by 20 suzie. what does the 1st and least challenging category of meshes comprise and how would they help postpone illinois binding a game increase renewables production that's called based our in china reductions in india or in few floor nights of greenhouse gases us. so these are relatively simple measures that could be implemented quickly together to mean cutting around $3.00 giga thompson sucker stadium example is showing its fast patches of green a $3.00 giga ton drunk in greenhouse gases, is
2:30 pm
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 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 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 been taken out of school parent. se conditions in the damp and foul smelling class rooms are unacceptable. the
2:31 pm
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 brave 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 people's home. because when the tide comes in, they're sitting in water up with their legs and then the regular classes are impossible. leaving teaches unable to keep up to schedule in 5 or 6 years time, recognize the teacher. the entire school will be submerged, then that'd be nobody left here. the . but how will the worlds be firing in 3 decades from now in 2050. but i bet
2:32 pm
them there will be the most extreme for this is of, of them either forward with our 17000 islands that left us close and that will be 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 well, they've been disturbed by horizontal safe. the one. again that's out there because fighting 5 foot water maybe arrows here that says visit. very sad, fix it 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 . there's flooding or the, sorry,
2:33 pm
it was not farmable just for pretty good guy. 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 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 really so affected permafrost, x, but michelle called plaza from new next 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 between australia and gemini, is so small that the helicopter cannot touch down properly.
2:34 pm
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 done to 2600 meters is a risky undertaking. what could happen if the summit collapses? doesn't bass thinking about these a face possibly be steed or stacy truck mass has a total volume of 260000 cubic meters, which isn't long. it's whoops. so that's
2:35 pm
a send somebody to since we'd be contacting them. as i mentioned, the 2014, i think i'm currently the right, has a few millimeters per moment on the different months. so one is, estimation is a so strong. when so you can change so quickly because it won't be long and it'll comes flying down or does this contention even this year? you know, next the features come in east or 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 to something that residents so when aware of in the village of bundle, in se, 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 house, it's a lot of it's gradually dine. it does make the change, i'll think of it,
2:36 pm
but we're prepared for that. i said, 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 does whose districts do 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 my eyes, water, and sewage, an 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 the another disaster resulting from climate change. the sending
2:37 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 scene 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 a monopoly on the launch lake directly behind his head of all the
2:38 pm
different species of fish. it contains the salmon, like white fish was the most lucrative, always ending him as a 5 heroes per kilo, with an average specimen weighing some 15 kilos. he lived with us but the days of plenty. and that was because his lake no longer exists. the pin used to stretch fee dean columbus has. but this has been reduced to a handful of poems on reaching any diploma for us to frozen and solidified a natural dam. separating the lake from the rizza. the rising temperatures, however, caused the once permanent tice to melt away. eventually the dam broke the
2:39 pm
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 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 of 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 repeat the 1st climate mutual continuance by 2050 is a step in the right direction. and the forgotten advise the mind because of
2:40 pm
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 climate protection in germany. was that nobody else was doing in a thing like that. but that doesn't wash any logical china, as not declared its willingness 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 large part of the comp, a market 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 goss 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, most impala meant by the court. in april 2021, the german government was given a very public wake up coal when the country is constitutional. courts issued
2:41 pm
a historic ruling, requiring legislators to significantly improve climate protection measures. in another landmark building in the netherlands, just one month late to a quote, audit oil 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 class, he find spectacular rock and ice formations. many people have ever been down here. the
2:42 pm
. 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's a 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 feel. no, no. thankfully when he gets 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 reach at all. thank you. the, this is the audit shalicia light cries in the swiss alps of
2:43 pm
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, have natural, one to win, at least this monster. i see close it survive in the truth future, 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 from the 9th. so it means that even if we don't, whatever happened in the future in time of time at to be sure with keep retreat at least 5 kilometers. and what would happen if temperatures will actually to rise by 4 degrees as x that's now predict gms as a has calculated by the end of the century, the audit tracy, i would then have almost completely disappeared. so if we, i mean,
2:44 pm
if we assume that this time it's not always right, we will cure it's most likely that we'd be very new to ice by 2100. and yet, i'll do that here in this sounds k do would be normal ice, no longer ice. adiana was a century the, the the side of the rock. we visit the concord, you alpine house the
2:45 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. the . it can accommodate 155 guests alpine high cuz ski is and place it into the 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 for this and all i know other outside hearts that are lovely. a, to me, this is just the most amazing place to work in and on opposite but often.
2:46 pm
but the on it, she's in long term grave and seemingly terminals 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 no tool to help you out and look at this one. it's retreated about 150 meters owned for the place to place of 150 meters in 140 is a mutual so yeah, the,
2:47 pm
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 russia's far east, about 25000000 people. you know, how serious is the impact of the permafrost melting measurements taken by the global terrestrial networks? the 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. the. this
2:48 pm
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 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 spouts on the streets has begun to buckle on. several buildings are showing signs that the grounds they will once build toned is no longer so solid. just started to sink chowsky on. there is also
2:49 pm
home to the scientist and climate activist leaky 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. 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, i mean they're all that and eventually all that solve you'll come up also. so this
2:50 pm
person's kind of go and then, you know, send to me, there's a day, maybe 10, something, give me the survey with the whole data. so we can see this building the 3rd 4th area and now with climate getting warm and fearful, it is 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 wetlands of them in still and region intensive, foaming and draining,
2:51 pm
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. alice lessons, i hope more, 9 for everything that ends up in the res falls like this is conserved acidic conditions in the absence of oxygen means there's no dictation. 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 the spice. and when you may have you folks grow by just one millimeter a year. this 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. a frost pretends
2:52 pm
to people in 70 cause a 3 percent of the slimy surface book contain 30 percent of all. calvin was of him . which whole thing on a scale of that. if it does little now decompose this and enters the a as easier to. then we'll have a mess of klein and probably not pull the 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 assault connie montana, the indian nation to the island, just born in the
2:53 pm
match 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, missed amount of palm while it's used as a diesel fuel additive and is found 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 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
2:54 pm
a few years ago with just to hacked has rapid profits enables him to buy more land and grow more trees is continually growing business empire now stretches to 300 hacked has not the yeah. there are many perennial crops and i'm but i've not found one that makes more money than palm only allowed $1.00 time. it had been 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 thomas cook robust building blocks made of common, sued biofuels. and indeed also which is something of a scientific sensation since septic polio.
2:55 pm
and there is colossal demand from industry for the palm while substitute the research has now one too 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 quantity that is identical to that of natural palm while the in yeah, i my 1st secret, clark fuel on monday. first of all, n z. all good right here we have the liquid fraction and the solid function which looks similar to purified pamela oil companies. the big difference is dr. process is completely independent of farming activity and clements conditions. so that's the most we don't need to clear on a rain forest when like with a large scale palm while the production was beat us 5. so
2:56 pm
a product is 100 percent sustainable and also commercially competitive with the palm are already available points oh, chrysler competed team meeting private. that's one of our different calls. back in indonesia, the fruits that the trees that produce the tracy, the oil way up to 50 kilo's punch firm. and mohammed ro 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. then when i say i'm going to be there to find out what the problem is, i was kind of without a while. this is a new invention that's foster and simpler than al funding method is about the end. we've huge profits. there is so many advantages in terms of efficiency,
2:57 pm
me profitability and prosperity for everyone. and what kind of cools every palm oil producer is going to be interested in getting got. so that's why they and why don't you get to the store to download the
2:58 pm
resolution for on social re uniforms, they do the full spaces. we're pod cost for unreal multi sounds stuff because modern spiritual feelings and find out what this rate is all about. 77 percent
2:59 pm
using mind power. the brain is our neighboring paraplegics to walk in. is this the beginning of a new medical era? the research team is just getting started. 19 minutes on d w. and how many portion of loads us are now in the world right now. the climate change. if any home story, this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to work on doing flux, this subscriber for morning is like the
3:00 pm
this is the, the news coming to live from berlin brush just as it will pull out of a un deal that currently allows ukraine to export grain from its black see ports that's fueling tears of a new global food crisis. we'll hear from keep tabs, nairobi and moscow condemns what it's calling a terrorist. and.
