and state said, most leaders of the attack, which he called an attempt to destabilize the state, had been arrested. you're watching the news from button and don't forget those, even when you're on our website at dw, don't com. that's it for me. and jeff park, thanks for watching the show, the these places in europe stepped into a bold adventure the treasure map for modern globetrotters. describe it as some of us wriggled, bragging sites on youtube and also in the west coast. i know i might just do it and i'm hosting dw new podcasts. things straightened out,

but it's actually about move join us as we travel around your, facing the history of every day of that. and that's something right around the world. and i need to talk to you back, just a subscriber id, listen to park, gosh. then we'll take you along to the right. the how i remembered in the past, like, 20 years ago. they're like, no, but now they're here. what are the, the template of revising which i'm effecting the? yeah, that was the kind of the rest of was drawing out will be left without energy. the thought i used to live a good life. now there is no farm to plot the rivers dry. well, i don't know how many good. it's no nasa. what can we do to save all the time? the

the 2023 is on track to be the hottest year on record. the consequences of climate change can no longer be overlooked with heat waves, droughts, and floods, destroying livelihoods around the planet. and one thing is clear. planetary heating can only be limited by rapidly phasing out coal, oil, and gas. so this man was perhaps not the obvious choice as president of this use. un climate conference, top $28.00, taking place in due by white stilton on that of java is minister of industry and advanced technology in the united arab emirates. and also happens to be head of the states oil company video, but energies are not and cannot be the only on more than $100.00. 30 political representatives from europe and the us have

demanded to be dropped as president of the climate conference to no avail. saudi arabia is the 2nd largest producer of oil after the u. s. u, a. e. iraq. iran and kuwait, also in the gulf region, are likewise ranked among the world's top 10 oil producing states. between 20162020. the fossil fuel accounted for over a 3rd of gross domestic product in the gulf states. that revenue helps pay for economic development, but it's also funding the transition to renewables. at the same time, the gulf region is already been impacted by the consequences of climate change from drought to flash floods, and rising sea levels, saudi arabia and the u. a. e. have seen huge expansion and renewable energy use in recent years. just recently the emirates announced their net 0 target for 2050. those plans involve new, clean energy investments,

totaling $54000000000.00 by 2030. that's a positive move. um, but we see that the policies to actually meet their target all are, are still not there. and we see they're actually planning to increase still, for example, fossil gas consumption. and they're still massively planning to increase their oil and gas production, which will also lead to higher machines. but the gulf states aren't the only ones investing massively, a new fossil fuel project. in fact, almost all of the top 20 fossil fuel producing countries plan to produce more and 2030, then they do today. the international goal of limiting global average temperature is the $1.00 degree celsius above pre industrial levels could be buried once and for all. that's despite both the oil states and fossil fuel companies, nothing short of money for more investment and clean energy. excellent, mobile, for example, recorded record revenues of 399000000000 dollars this year,

and profits of $55000000000.00. the company is continuing to invest in oil and gas . so what's preventing more active climate protection? you ask, what is it that's, that's in a way that imperative? the status? well, the way money works, the numbers of people who are pressured, some of the oil and gas companies because they weren't doing as well as the ones that weren't doing stuff on the climate. look at the pressure, you know, a bunch of asset owners and managers in new york and elsewhere in the world of been under to make more money. so put it down, degreed g r e, you do agreed. instead of phasing out fossil fuels, companies are favoring investments and carbon capture and storage systems, or c, c. s, comp president job or is also promoting the technology. c, c, s will definitely be needed if the world is to reach net 0 because the systems can

remove c o 2 from the atmosphere. but the technology is still very expensive and not yet sufficiently scalable. critics like use oil producing countries and other proponents of green washing, the aim to secure our profits, while smoking hopes that efficient climate protection is possible even without a quick end to fossil fuels. it's clearly a distraction and we think countries, you know, sort of bearing their head in the sand, you know, behind you know, the promise of 50 s one actual the loan sold the problem. and we do need to focus on other, you know, solutions that can really reduce emissions. new international climate conference to date has ended with an agreement to phase out fossil fuels. in the long term. the issue is set to take center stage and this year's political debates. while the policies are producing countries are headed in the exact opposite direction, the

oil co gap, fossil fuels to make up a working 80 percent of the global energy mix. and despite the glaring downside for many countries remain firmly committed to the sale. so 12 in southern poland population around 50000, many of its residents knew tearing the 1970s to work in the power pounds in the mcknight. coal mine these days 1st belong to the po miss energy group. pga cut off now as i'm the power plant behind me is the biggest demetria of greenhouse gases in the anti europe in union. so gomez pumps out over 30000000 tons of carbon dioxide and yellowstone cool. it's a symbol of problems traditional dependence on calls and you define glass, shut it down to about $30000000.00 tons of harmful c o 2 each year. making bell hot

offer loan a bigger producer of greenhouse gases. the island also vakio a situation that green piece wants to put an end to. to decades, it's been cooling for the closure of coal fired power station. lots of other people got tons for months, improving. we have to phase out call by 2030 if we really intend to implement the power. so agreement and got your system it with another look at what's happened over the last few years is human. so should that us uh, j yeah, the energy transition away from fossil fuels that's completely past the government by has with us. what am i saying that a good that's now your biggest brown coal fired plant produce is about the 5th of polish energy needs. the operate to pd says it will be shut down and stages under the coal phase out between 20302036 that were also close to close. open cost mining has shortly off towards up to now pilots has nope, that hits the climate policies. all types of unable debt to continue subsidizing its cold pumps. pg refused to talk to us on camera or left us visit the power pump

hops because of the environmental pollution and its impact on local residents. health. tall soap said, well yeah, man, whoops. as a alex, we've noticed an invisible enemy in the area that is shortening the lives of people who live, hey, hope and get elected albany, which is something we have spent. the dust itself can spread over many kilometers get is being so it's taking years of people's lives will go increasing the incidence of asthma as well as the number of heart attacks and strokes. little bit protect us. my bill got back to the photo but by law despite the health risks, the majority of residents and bill hotels remain opposed to the shut down of the brown coal pump. us. we are very much against the mind being close. it accounts for lots of jobs here. the economic situation could deteriorate, was i'm interested in something without the mine they'll have to of would be a village with 2000 people. is that much of a gun? so you don't get to that idea. what about the people who came here to each other?

i'm worried that no one has a plan for the future of the town afterwards. that a some, yes. one of the mines that researched employees lives here. they owned for no security. now retired, he devoted his life to the colon destry. the engine is story began with the ticking of the coal mine in 1974 is about one of sugarloaf out to the potatoes. my group. um, well the engine. yeah. the lock then a group of young engineers got together from across poland to the um, sunset and he is uh, they were full of enthusiasm for the project with them. no, they will not until he has a he still has a passion for mining today. and so the community spirit and customs such as the annual festival with it specially designed bellmarks working at the mines was the best time of his life. but jimmy's,

i was his zip code on the to make the scientists think that the customers will vanish. and when the mind closed, the vertical voltage is usually a bunch of articles. and there were very few concrete plans for the future of both of 12 and it's residence. this much is clear, one big company will not be able to replace the mining industry and attracting new businesses to the area costs money, which is why the e u has been supporting the transformation process since 2019 the private sector official agencies and n g a is need to work together, we're supposed to be a success. how is currently being discussed in a host of workshops that's available to so we work with young people with business people, with local officials and community organizations, the board improve transport, infrastructure, environmental issues. so and social cohesion are all important to them if you could log in or else i'd like to support. one problem is that the jumps in the cold

industry paid so well that many families and bell hotels could afford to run several calls with public transport valley use. the train line with must, old dot will have to change as new companies to move to bell hotels. you please use one of the major investors will only move a if the very good transport links of it without trains and buses. and then we load a truck and a new stuff, a highly specialized sector, slide i t i t t. so for the stuff in the why was it the lick not 5 power plant and bell house or do support the coal industry? it's not for ideological reasons. many have started a panels on every the solar energy business is booming. also, thanks to state subsidies because of this month sells photo voltaic systems with revenue doubling every year and see the one of the, almost everyone around here has bought a solar power facility,

including those who work in the mind or a power plant or is it just makes economic sense of trends. so now they'll have to still depends on your biggest induct. he has power plant. brussels wants to get people here on board with the use climate policies. it looks as though they come be persuaded. the reason i said like this blue fire on these couple rings all exist because of one element sofa. the other substance can be both completely harmless. i think strongly poisonous. it's found in our bodies of food and also in volcanoes. if you've ever smelled a rotten egg or a fox, the culprit was sofa, but unfortunately, he can't up also makes a highly toxic gas. it's also responsible for acid rain. it contributes to millions of debts every year. extracting dining fossil fuels means we're spewing it into the

atmosphere. the story of sofa is both the lumen crisis and an environmental success . so far is one of the more abundant elements in the universe. you can find it in the oceans. the crust on the talks, it got must be a venus. it's also the 3rd most come, a mineral and not bodies. they contain around a 150 grams of sofa, but in its solid pill form. it's both tasteless and odorless. the compounds of it are found in broccoli, cauliflower, eggs, and onions. sofa is actually responsible for the strong smell that garlic makes when he is crushed. another sofa compound gives broccoli and kind of allow that distinctive taste. and if you find yourself with a particularly smelly onion, that's because of sulfur too, is also found in water from wells or springs. another place you'll find sofa is in

the sky a little bit. so for doc set up, matt missed here. conserve is what we call cloud condensation. nuclei, essentially, little platforms for clouds to build around. the house fonda is a climate scientist and reset you. clouds that can be more reflect is an inbound smartlight back to space sofa actually slows down global warming. but sofa also has a dock side. is one of the most reactive elements on the periodic table. so it changes form easily when in contact with other elements. it's also super flammable . the sofa coating is what keeps matches spinning long enough to light a candle. burning sofa can look like a health scape, like a dis, indonesian volcano. ready ready ready party a much creates a small quantity of a sofa gas. ready and this much is a mini version of the sofa pollution problem. ready those gases phones by the self

of molecules with other elements, a toxic one of them is hydrogen sulfide sofa with 2 hydrogen atoms. it's found naturally in woodland swamps, in hot springs, another enough to solve the gases, sulfur dioxide, something we've been harming ourselves with on a large scale for a very long time. so software relation is mentally quits by bidding fossil fuels. edwin's son getting you out of research as chemical pollution in the environment and also industrial activity such as refining control, you know, to me at all times, fossil fuels is naturally contained sofa. the extraction leads to some of the sofa gaping and forming those gases. toxic gas is also released when fossil fuel was a band. another source of self pollution is from metal production. some metal oles contains sofa purifying. the metal can therefore release sofa into the atmosphere. fossil fuel use took off around the 1950s before all this information was available

. but in the 1970s, people started noticing that the rain was more acidic than it used to be. too much cell for in clouds, can react with other elements to form. sophia accosted, and i said, right, oceans, lakes and rivers become more acidic, hunting, aquatic life. it also affects the ph of soils. we know plants the free and reduced and inspect tim content th, regarding a ph. he's also going to affect how the plants are going to up, so the nutrients that they need to grow. but it doesn't need to rain down are nice to have devastating health effects. if you light a match a couple times or if you like, sitting around a campfire, you know they are placing but it isn't good for you. but if you're not doing that all day every day, it's not going to be that bad for your health. whereas, you know, if you're living in beijing and your air looks like a piece, oops, that's where it really starts creating various severe medical problems. and

a lot of that self of pollution is caused by burning coal. it's responsible for most silver pollution than any volcanic eruption when burned in power plants, the sofa can be removed from the emissions by devices called scrubbers. but in sufficient money or infrastructure, that means that often doesn't happen. worldwide, china has been the largest emitter of sulfur in recent decades due to its heavy reliance on call. the resulting air pollution is responsible for over a 1000000 deaths per year. china has recently taken major steps to be, you saw for emissions and other countries. the amount of coal being bond is actually going up. when you electrify, you wrote it, they need to be some energy source in what is the image source? that is what it. so that's called sulfur pollution from coal contributed to the near constant london fog of the 19th century. people died from acetone. bronchitis, which still playing those living near oil refineries and coal plants today. and so

for particles, also form pm 2.5 fine particles that our significant part of global air pollution a. but it is an old bad news in recent years that has been a very big asset to stop. i sued rain on sofa gases. much of the sofa is removed from oil and gas during the refunding process before it's sold to consumers. the extracted sofa is tended to pesticides fertilizers on. so if you're accosted as a result of symmetric sofa gases have decreased significantly and regulations of getting 20 to 2020. so the 1st restrictions on shipping fuel but in now the last decade or 2, there's been more studies about the health impacts and burning the steel in ports with a couple of studies suggesting that somewhere in the range of 226-0000 people globally, you may die prematurely, you do to exposure to suffer docs. i pollution from shipping. removing solver from

fuels has cause the dropping world wind pollution but the still most sole for an atmosphere then there should be show while regulations are important. a shift away from fossil fuels is the only thing that will tackle toxic sulfur gases for good. the so expanding renewable energy sources is key if we want to have a safe, clean future. the shift has already started europe and asia, in particular, a building more, a move off. so the phones some lower than 50 slack. and how much is insights comprising millions of solar panels but size isn't everything. in germany. this is really the beauty, a delegation from

a law we is visiting an agricultural project and how to know a town outside berlin, growing on this farm crops are being grown under solar panels of the visitors from africa are here to see exactly how it works and we have the model for measure, but that just depend on uh, using the whole, you know, so we can't do much because we don't have the capacity to have machine out of the and everything like to put up to see. so i feel like if, as a government, if we can, uh do, uh, you know, the sort of from me can 10 things for beat the i agree voltage company, son, farming has been cultivating fruit, vegetables, berries, and herbs here for 2 years now. so nearly anything can be grown under the solar panels. the modules are positioned at a height that lets in plenty of daylight,

but blocks potentially harmful direct sunlight. another advantage of the system is that the billing components can be recycled, a new economy plus it's a 100 percent steel and glass enabled. the last 50 years in africa. and it can all be recycled. types of structures can be dismantled and result of the material has good salvage value and is always in demand. steel isn't always made to all the materials and the modules can be used to build houses or storage shelves from baldwin high and good. that's good and kind of things you, i'm just trying to find when water slows over the modules, if it's raining or if they're being cleaned, it collects in a gutter system. this distributes the water evenly in the ground. it also enlarges the size of the water droplets which allows more liquid to get into the subsequent . so the ground stays moist even in dr. periods after i'm assuming you all for 10 africa. we also have to use drip irrigation to a vegetable cultivation to and you know,

it will help companies because certain regions are now just completely arid. and so we collect the rainfall. there is dispenses in small doses using a pump powered by solar energy and all the summers are also getting dryer in germany. here. 90 percent of the crops are grown with the help of a drip irrigation system. that saves water. the electricity needed to power the system is less than one percent of the amount produced by the solar array. the students from the brandenburg university of technology are also monitoring the project to learn more. they're using sensors to study the micro climate. under the modules, they measure light intensity humidity and the temperature both in the air and the soil around the plants, roots us into some debts and see at regular intervals. they also measure the rain that's been collected in these containers,

wisconsin. so how can see how much the solar panels expand, the surface area protection rainwater would, would be i'm 50 state and we've noticed that in colder times of year, it's significantly warmer, under the modules and in the open air, on average, it's $1.00 to $2.00 degrees warmer under the modules, and we found that during dry spells, it's significantly danver under the modules in the open air force, the effects of to off, and then they have animals also feel comfortable in the shade of the silver modules. the piles are driven into the ground and are sturdy enough to withstand changing weather. so there's no need for a concrete floor. the structures serve as airy, lights sealed, shirts for the animals, sheltering them from rain, hail, storm, birds of prey and scorching sun. the visitors from allow we are impressed with the environmentally friendly set up. that's why it has good fresh water like throughout

the country. one 3rd of the country is what water. but when we go to a neighboring countries, for example, between up routes, one i don't even have like. so if we're going to do a lot of this kind of fun, me who will be able isn't to sell to a neighboring countries and make money into both cell economy. in the supermarket and punch of strong south africa customers can buy vegetables and herbs produced by some farming split. for now, only small quantities are available as they come from a small facility built for research purposes. it's located only a few kilometers away. here some farming has been exploring how food, cultivation, and solar energy production can be combined. the researchers have been experimenting with different soil bases for the plants. yeah, it is an image and then the kitchen, we were plenty. it's the readings totally. because it did because she came up and

do wonderful in here we are using quick afraid of us and then raising the solar image and the plant the both we could get a combination no need for diesel generators to produce power. here there are 2 vegetable seasons a year in winter, broccoli and cali. flower are grown and in summer tomatoes build peppers and cucumbers. herbs and spinach are grown all year round. but drought is a growing problem in rural south africa to the winters in the northwest region are dry and cold, while in the summer violent thunderstorms and hail storms wreak, have it gone crops as does the increasingly fear sun here. agri, well takes or angry p v. can make a real difference the,
