to johnny and one's 3 saw me quite sure. just verify everything on your stuff. find out about some on storage, info, migrant, reliable news to migrate. the how i remember in the past, like 20 years ago. they're like, no, but now they hear what it is that of the companies that are advisors, which on every single are they to get. i was here and if 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 cloud. the rivers dry. well, i don't know how many good. it's no nasa. what can we do to save all kinds 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. was open on that i'll 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 of the 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 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 involved 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. so 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 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 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. 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 that 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 our 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 50 s one. 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, or the policies of producing countries are headed in the exact opposite direction. the

oil co get 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 12 in southern poland population around 50000, many of its residents moved here in the 1970s to work and the power pounds in the mcknight. coal mine these days 1st belong to the po miss energy group. pga pilots. the power plant behind me is the biggest demetria of greenhouse gases in the anti europe in union segments. pumps out over 30000000 tons of carbon dioxide and yellowstone. and cool. it's a symbol of problems. traditional dependence on call defend got shut it down about $30000000.00 tons of home, full c o 2 each year, making bell hot, tougher loan,

bigger producer of greenhouse gases. the island also vakio a situation that green piece wants to put them into to decades that's been calling for the closure of coal fired power station. lots of other people got sometimes for months improving. we have to phase out called by 2030. if we really intend to implement the power, so agreement, then got your system there with another 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 that's complete the past, the government finds what the last 4 months and they've got that's now. europe's biggest brown coal fired plant produce as opposed to 5th of polish energy needs. the operate to p d says it will be shut down in stages under the coal phase, out between 20302036. that also comes to close. open cost mining has shortly off towards up to now pilots has not hit the climate policies. all types of unable debt to continue subsidizing its cold pumps. pg refused to talk to us on

camera, or let's just visit the power plant hops because of the environmental pollution and its impact on local residents. health. tall soap said, well yeah, man, looks as a alex we've noticed on invisible enemy in the area that is shortening the lives of the people who live here hoping to get elected albany, which is some previous spend. the dust itself can spread over many kilometers. get is being so it's taking years of people's lives, lose 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 that, despite the health risks, the majority of residents and bell hotels remain opposed to the shut down of the brown co pump of the number. we are very much against the mind being closed and it accounts for lots of jobs. here the economic situation could deteriorate, was i'm interested in something without the mine bel hopped off, would be a village with 2000 people. is that much of a gun? so you know, it's a bad idea. what about the people who came here,

who i'm worried that no one has a plan for the future of the town afterwards. that a some yes, and one of the minds that recessed employees lives here. they owned for no escape. 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 that but i wanna ship a little puzzled like because my little problem. well, the engine. yeah. the lock then a group of young engineers got together from across poland. the, um, cincinnati is, uh, they were full of enthusiasm for the project with them. no bootable, nice rentals. yes. and he still has a passion for mining today. and so the community spirits and customs such as the annual festival with it specially designed bellmarks working at the mind was the best time of his life. a bunch of these

houses zix on the and it makes me sad to think that the customers will vanish when the mind closed, the vertical voltages and they've been sick vehicles and they were very few concrete plans for the future if 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 research to be a success. how is currently being discussed and 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 from the environmental issues. so and social cohesion are all important to them if you could log or to sorta lock to

support. 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 badly 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 the without trains and buses. we load a truck and a new staff, the highly specialized sector. slide i t i t to a program associated why was it the lick not 5 power plant and bell house of do support the coal industry? it's not for ideological reasons. many have solar panels on every. the solar energy business is booming. also thanks to state subsidies because a couple this mom sells photo voltaic systems with revenue doubling every year and see the one of the for almost everyone around here has bought a solar power facility, including those who look in the mine on

a power plant or is it just makes economic sense. so now they'll have to still depends on your biggest and dust. 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 and these couple rings all exist because of one element, sofa, the yellow 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 dining fossil fuels means we're spewing it into the

atmosphere. the story of sofa is bus, the looming 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 toxic atmosphere of venus. it's also the 3rd most come, a mineral in our bodies. they contain around a 150 grams of sofa, and it's on a 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 it's crushed. another sofa compound gives broccoli and kind of allow that distinctive tastes. and if you find yourself with a particularly smelly onion, that's because of sofa to it's 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, map missed here. can serve as what we call cloud condensation nuclei, essentially. little platforms for clouds to build around the cal spa, the is a climate scientist and research and clouds that can be more reflective and 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 fun level . the sofa coaching is what keeps match, has been a long enough to light a candle. burning sofa can look like a health scape, like a dis, indonesian volcano. ready ready ready mighty a much creates a small quantity of a sofa gas and this much is a mini version of the sofa pollution problem. ready those gases fall into by the

self of molecules with other elements, a toxic one of them is hydrogen sulfide salt, which to hydrogen atoms. it's found naturally in wetland swamps in hot springs. another enough to be solved a gas is sulfur dioxide. something we've been, holman, yourselves, with on a large scale for a very long time. so software relation is meant liquids by bidding fossil fuels, edwin's son, gun jada, researches, chemical pollution in the environment, and also industrial activity such as refining petroleum and snow to mid thoughts. fossil fuels is naturally contained sofa, the extraction leads to some of the sofa escaping and forming those gases. toxic gas is also released when fossil fuel was a band. another source of sofa pollution is from metal production. some metal oles contains sofa purifying the metal combat for released sofa into the atmosphere. fossil fuel use took off around the 1950s before all this information was available

. that 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 cost it 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 density, inspect the temperature in regarding a ph. he's also going to affect how the plants i'm going to add. 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 it, 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. a lot of

that sofa pollution is caused by burning coal. it's responsible for most self 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 sulphur 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 reduce sol for emissions. ringback in other countries, the amount of coal being button is actually going up. when you electrify, you wrote it, they need to be some energy source in what is the weak 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 are significant part of global air pollution. 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 8 or 3, 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 due to exposure to suffer dockside pollution from shipping

. removing solver from fuels has cause the dropping world wind pollution. but the still more sole for an atmosphere than this should be. so 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 funds some little than 50 slack. and how much is insights comprising millions of solar panels? that size isn't everything. in germany, this is rita viewed a delegation from

a law. we is visiting an agricultural project in high 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. and we have the model for measure. but that just depend on uh, using the whole, you know, so we can do much because we don't have the capacity to have machine out of the and everything like to put up the sea. so i feel like if, as a government, if we can 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 i 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 looks dollars less. it's a 100 percent steel and glass enabled the last 50 years in africa. and it can all be recycled high 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 need to all the materials and the modules can be used to build houses or storage shelves from baldwin high. and i'm good, that's good. and kind of think you, all this kind of high wind water flows 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 subs o l. so the ground stays moist even in dr. periods after i'm assuming you offered in africa. we also have to use drip irrigation to a vegetable cultivation. so when you will help companies pick

a certain regions are 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 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 protection rainwater will do in the 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 one to 2 degrees warmer under the modules. and we found that during dry spells, it's significantly damper under the modules in the open air voice 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 lake 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 for me who will be able 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 in italy, kitchen, we were plenty. it's the readings. totally because it did because she knew up into

wonder flow. and 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 winter's in the northwest region are dry and cold while in the summer violent thunderstorms and hail storms wreak havoc on crops as does the increasingly fear sun. here, agri, well takes, or agri, p v can make a real difference in the
