it's a mosque a this is a scene investigators say a long list and something wrong with the engine. could have been one of the alkaloid in link to militant buckling mulches months to metro bombings police in the capital and on the station from the. russian brings together. to discuss how to tackle drug traffickers and terrorism in central asia with the who is the major cause of instability. the new polish president pledges of better relations with russia as investigators from both countries joined forces to work out what was called state plane crash which killed president lech kaczynski. a growing number of u.s. nationals and becoming disillusioned with the american dream seven hundred people were nonsense digits in two thousand and nine and three times it moved in the year
10:33 am
before. the extreme weather conditions that affected the lives of millions heat raged in russia and floods devastated so what's behind these catastrophes talks to an island russian physicist alexander ginsburg who said the only force to blame as well the nature of. recent climatic chaos has caused many conspiracy theories to wonder what could possibly be behind the climatic events that are causing worldwide attention to talk a little bit more about whether there is any truth to the serious and what is really causing our planet to behave in such a way i'm now joined by dr alexandre ginsburg who will be talking to r.t. about those problems talked but thank you so much for talking to us now these conspiracy theories that have recently flooded the internet about how there's
10:34 am
a geophysical weapon that somebody is testing that is causing all of these problems there icelandic volcano. floods in pakistan the heat in russia is that true. so it's an interesting question that comes up at least every few years five years ago when hurricane katrina struck the u.s. sure there was a lot of noise perhaps more of it in the western hemisphere than in europe in russia but people started saying that katrina was the result of russian geophysical weapon tests and that nothing would have happened if it wasn't for the evil empire which meant to the former soviet union and wouldn't be russia this year since europe russia pakistan and china to a degree all been affected by disasters this incision hungry whistleblowers came up with a different theory and they're saying these disasters are results of retaliation from the u.s. that perhaps the u.s.
10:35 am
wanted to strike pakistan and accidently hit russia and europe. in any case my answer to your question is no it was not caused by geophysical weapons with them i say this because so far there is no evidence in open media sources or licensed scientific magazines that mankind is capable of using nature in such a way the amount of energy. the exact is far too small to affect energy streams in the atmosphere and the oceans so as to use those claims as a weapon that i have no scientific evidence that the disasters could have been caused by climate weapon or geophysical weapon at the shasta but it is true that countries are working towards somehow controlling or affecting the weather isn't that what scientists of many countries have always been interested in the. yes we do work on projects of that kind ways to use where the control techniques can be different there are peaceful applications such as dispersing clouds and making sure
10:36 am
that weather is good at red square parades i suspect this isn't only practiced in russia but in other countries as well. servia to authorities used with the control techniques and quite successfully to cause avalanches in hailstorms and places where they needed them or drive pulled away from apple it's it's easy to see from what i said that all weather control technology is aimed at controlling clouds and fog liquids in the atmosphere. the latest trend in weather control is to use finely divided cement loads of cement because rain when dumped into clouds and can be used to settle for. the physics at the core of those two person says at the same cement causes the water particles in the clouds and folk to become bigger now for better or for worse we have no means of affecting weather other than and launching water particles in folks and clouds and turning ice particles into water to turn hail into rain these methods were introduced to most one hundred years ago and we have
10:37 am
not made any breakthroughs since although what we do have we use successfully. so then what is causing all this climatic chaos the volcano in iceland the abnormal heat in russia floods in pakistan what is the cause behind all of these things that . where did this summer disasters in russia europe and pakistan come from well they didn't really come from anywhere situations like this develop in the atmosphere once every few years we call them blocking situations like they are characterized by a cycle and the cycle and pair of equal strength facing one another and the cycle and as a massive air spinning one way and producing to standing streams of air. in summer and winter this gives a clear sky it also makes the summers hotter now when we have a pack insisting of
10:38 am
a strong circular and a strong anti cycling as the case is this summer over russia and europe this leads to a so-called blocking situation during which that pair can become very stable this pair will sustain itself until it gets tired and we'd have to either wait for that of autumn to come so that the strong and the selection would run out of the solar energy it is sustained by. my point is that there is nothing extraordinary about what we are seeing this summer from the meteorological point of view the only thing that is out of the ordinary is how strong the anti cycling in the cycling are. what's important to understand is that cycling's are not actually created by anything it is the cycling itself that is the reason for a change in atmospheric process since the cycling is the reason not a consequence of the consequences of the site learn what we are dealing with now. so to the people who would say that. those conditions are
10:39 am
a result of global warming would you say that they are mistaken or that they are correct you don't you little neither this nor that and there is solid ground. for that sidelines in europe and the cyclons in russia are not direct consequences of global warming it's a regular phenomenon. but as i mentioned before the situation is lasting too long as for global warming people are arguing now whether it is natural or manmade it exists out of natural global warming is pretty much the same across the globe it should be getting warmer everywhere and more or less equally or at least proportionally but if global warming is due to the greenhouse effect warming at low or tropical latitudes is much less than warming at high or polar latitude depending on hemisphere in the north or in the south if the temperature difference decreases the force which could get cyclons and anti cyclons apart and eliminate the blocking decreases as well. so in this respect i cannot insist that it's
10:40 am
a direct consequence of global manmade warming but as we see it the resolution of such booking situations becomes more and more complicated it's on that they mentioned the so-called greenhouse gas emissions do you think that the kyoto protocol actually helps with curbing greenhouse gas emissions and should everybody sign it like countries that have so far refused to sign it for example do they need to does it actually help i've asked and we've gotten dealings with it all day as we are doing something to nature which nature itself has not been doing before we have to fight it therefore all the efforts to cut greenhouse emissions to fight there's a time zation to growth forests eliminating greenhouse effect and so on very much welcome. on the other hand sometimes excessively enthusiastic green activists and other ecologists shout from the rooftops that nuclear energy must not be used as
10:41 am
well as solar energy and wind energy because infrasound affect animals and fossil fuels are simply out of the question. but they all flying to convince his dr to conferences and sit in their offices not in villages and they fight against all these factors there was a summit in copenhagen that didn't produce any particular results i was asked a good question about it once they told me it came to know what to which i replied that it actually produce great results what results they ask me the heads of one hundred twenty countries came together to see that they couldn't do anything this is a great result some of them started thinking about it differently they went there to sign documents and reach agreements but they couldn't. they certainly haven't agreed on anything what this showed us is that we need to step up our efforts it showed us that climate problems should be discussed at summits copenhagen was the first port internets and. mentioned cup and. the fact that leaders
10:42 am
of countries will too. solve the matters themselves but there have been people that have said that it would be economically. not beneficial for them for example some say that already an alternative fuel source has been developed by scientists but it's economically unfeasible for countries that are dependent on oil like the united states like the arab emirates like russia so do you think there is any fact to to these statements or is that all theories and talk. unfortunately what you are saying is exactly the case advances have been made in renewable energy technologies but they're also difficulties for example big fields of energy windmills producing infrasound that is not heard by human beings but sometimes small rodents and other animals leave these places so sometimes we are
10:43 am
simply unaware of the possible effects of alternative energy production. in addition it's a very slight effect but there are two ways to warm up the earth to increase the greenhouse effect or to consume more solar energy currently an increase in the greenhouse effect is predominant but if the entire earth is covered with solar batteries then more solar energy will be consumed and there will still be warming with those light. and what will happen in china is very interesting because china is a special case it doesn't have much oil but huge coal reserves but now coal energy is too shameful to use especially for a country with ambitions to become the leading world economy. therefore they are likely to actively pursue alternative sources of energy by goods sold mission but that is global warming. it's been said so many times it's been blamed for all kinds of different things and then recently there were some russian
10:44 am
hackers who broke into email correspondence between some european scientists that actually said that there is no global warming so is there or isn't there doing this that i would put off one of the world centers of meteorology and climate science is in great britain it's the most ancient greek meteorology service that's one thing another thing is that over the past five or ten years or maybe move the country which has been most concerned about global warming is great britain in the summer of two thousand and four i was present at and one of the organizers of a meeting between tony blair's counselor david king and under the learn to distinguish councillors of two distinguished leaders one of them was arguing that there was no global warming while the other was saying it exists and that it is man made all this is political climatology both points of view there is global warming because temperatures have risen over the past one hundred and fifty years of

observations and over the past decade they have been increasing quicker than during the first one hundred years of observations it is a fact we cannot deny that it's. extracting black. dangerous. why demand pushes the limits to catastrophe. is the price. is it possible to prevent such disasters. and can the aftermath be dealt with quickly clam defectively. oil spills and through all she. said she joined the

military because i thought that it was my duty most of it was something that i do to help my country i believe my government bought that this is necessary for americans to feel no it was a lot of drug abuse there was a lot of murder of american officers by american soldiers there were a lot of. problems by. the pool the way i always thought i wanted to live a lot of medals only to have a lot of decorations but afterwards i realize that they don't mean anything. that importance. i don't i don't i never kept the medal. investigators say up loans to sell them longer the engine pussy could up in the

worth of the things minutes and behind launches most a metro bombings anything in the capital have been put on the state it's. also brings together on down as towns and cities down on the scales how to tackle drug town for kids and terrorism in central asia with young families seen as the major polls that leads to this. let me polish president pledges of better relations with the us and best of gates's from both countries join forces to wipe out all poles it was plane crash which killed it's been collected. and a growing number of us nationals are becoming disillusioned with the american dream seven hundred people renounce their citizenship it's found in the line. cities when smooth and you know. all the nations in the way next with you know.
