don, the phone, but this is derek. g leads to higher unemployment and slows down. the economy was a card, you've reached the 300 trillion that trump stuff. december 9th, on dw, the how i read members in the past, like 20 years ago. they're like, no, but now they're here. what are the big templates of revising which i'm effecting the what's the kind of the rest of was drawing out will be left without energy. they 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 kind of 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, taking place in dubai. white stilton on it of java as 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 of the more than $130.00 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 is also funding the transition to renewables. at the same time, the goal for reaching has 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 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 emissions. but the gulf states aren't the only ones investing massively, a new fossil fuel projects. 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 temperatures to $1.00 degrees 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. exxon mobil for example, reported 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 the imperative of 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 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 since yes, when actually it won't solve the problem. and we do need to focus on other, you know, solutions that can really reduce emissions. no 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 fossil fuels to make up a whopping 80 percent of the global energy mix. and despite the glaring downside, so many countries remain firmly committed to them so, so to us and southern poland, population around $50000.00, many of its residents knew tearing the 1970s to work and the power pounds and the mcknight, coal mine these days burst belonged to the po, shandra, gee group, p g hi electronic knows i'm the power plant behind me is the biggest demetria of greenhouse gases in the anti europe in union. it pumps out over 13000000 tons of carbon dioxide in yellowstone. cool, it's a similar problems. traditional dependents on call, the vanguard, shut it down 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. for decades it's been cooling for the closure of coal fired power station. lots of other people got tons for much improving. we have to phase out call by 2030 if we really intend to implement the power. so agreement and got your system and then let them look at what's happened over the last few years. is human. so should that us a j? yeah, the energy transition away from fossil fuels has completely passed the government fine as well. and that's what i'm not 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 in stages under the coal phase, out between 20502036. there were also problems to close open cost mining has shortly afterwards up to now pilots has not hit the climate policies. all types of enabled it to continue subsidizing its co 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. thoughts upset of who am it looks as a alex, we've noticed that even visible enemy in the area that is shortening the lives of people who live, hey, hope and get elected albany. what's your son? who you spend? the dust itself can spread over many kilometers, get this being so it's taking years of people's lives was 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 a lot or despite the health risks, the majority of residents and bell hotels remain opposed to the shut down of the brown co pump. and i'm here very much against the mind being closed. 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 mis console here? the object 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 minds very 1st employees lives here. my own boy, no escape. now retired, he devoted his life to the coal industry. the engine is story began with the ticking of the coal mine and 1974. is that but i wanna ship a little puzzled like because 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 rentals. yes. he still has a passion for mining today. um. so the community spirit and customs such as the annual festival with it specially designed band max working at the mines was the best time of his life. but jimmy's,

i was the zip code on the to make the scientists think that the customers will vanish when the mind close. the vertical voltage is, or isn't there 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 why we work with young people. with business people, with local officials and community organizations, the board improve transport infrastructure from the environmental issues. so and social cohesion are all important to them. you can log in odessa, velocities,

fortunately. one problem is that the jobs 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 was muffled not we'll have to change as new companies to move to bel cutoff. 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 2 why was it the lick not 5 power plant and bell house or do support the cold 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 look in the mind or

a power plant or is it just makes economic sense. 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 this and i said like this blue fire on these couple rings all exist because of one element sofa. the other substance can be both completely homeless. i'm extremely 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 and burning 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 and the toxic atmosphere of venus is also the 3rd most common mineral in our bodies. they contain around a 150 grams of sofa, and it's 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. and the 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 2 is also found in water from wells or springs. another

place you'll find sofa is in the sky a little bit so, so for doc set up mat, 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 support. light 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 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, sulfur with 2 hydrogen atoms. it's found naturally in wetland swamps, in hot springs, another enough to be solved, the gases, sulfur dioxide, something we've been harming all cells with on a large scale for a very long time. so software relation is meant liquids by bidding fossil fuels, edwin's son, gun yacht, researches, chemical pollution in the environment, and also industrial activity such as refining petroleum in snow to mid thoughts. fossil fuels is naturally contained sofa. the extraction leads to some of the sofa scraping and forming those gases. toxic gas is also released when fossil fuels of a and another source of self pollution is from metal production. some metal always contains sofa purifying the metal combat for 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 temp of june 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 and 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, cold 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 and 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 ask for room 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. but it is an old bad news in recent years that has been a very big effort to stop us, a drain 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 turned into pesticides, fertilizes 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 8 or 3, there's been more studies about the health impacts and burning the steel in ports with a couple studies suggesting that somewhere in the range of 226-0000 people globally, you may die prematurely due to the exposure to soap or dockside pollution from

shipping. removing solver from fuels has caused the dropping world wide pollution, but the still more self in the atmosphere than this should be show while regulations are important. 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. you rip in asia, in particular, a building more, a move off. so the phones some little than 50 slack. and how much is insights comprising millions of solar panels but size isn't everything. in germany. this is either butte,

a delegation from allow we is visiting an agricultural project and how to know a town outside berlin. growing on this farm crops are being grown under solar. and also the visitors from africa are here to see exactly how it works. yeah, and we have a 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 natalie and everything like to put up the sea. 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 will take 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 let's in plenty of daylight,

but blocks potentially harmful direct sunlight. another advantage of the system is that the building components can be recycled. this is lewis darling plus. it's a 100 percent stealing glass enabled the last 50 years in africa. and it can all be recycled ties because the structures can be dismantled and a 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 thing. 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 subsoil. so the ground stays moist even in dry periods after i'm assuming you offered 10 africa. we also have to use drip irrigation to a vegetable cultivation tool. and you know,

it will help companies to pick a certain regions now just completely arid. and so we collect the rainfall there is and 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. 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 got us into some debts and see at regular intervals. they also measure the rain that's been collected in these containers, wisconsin,

so i can see how much the solar panels expand, the surface area for catching rainwater will do in the, on 50 state. and we've noticed that encoder times of the 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 damper under the modules in the open air points to f as off the 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, light field sheds 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 once the countries want water. but when we go to

a neighboring countries, for example, between that one i don't even have like. so if we're going to do a lot of this kind of from me who will be able to sell to a neighboring countries and make money into both sell 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 sun farming has been exploring how food, cultivation, and solar energy production can be combined. the researchers have been experimenting with different soil bases with the plants. yeah, it is an image and then the kitchen, we were plenty. it's the readings. totally. because it did the kitchen up into

wonderful. and here we are using quick afraid of us and then raising the solar energy 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 winter's in the northwest region are dry and cold while in the summer, violent thunderstorms and hail storms. rec, haven't gone crops as does the increasingly fear sun here. agri, well takes or angry p v can make a real difference the, the,
