2:33 pm
countries joining forces to work out what calls april's plane crash which killed president lech kaczynski. with less than fifteen minutes from now in the meantime extreme weather conditions have affected the lives of millions this year each has been raging here russia and floods devastating pakistan so what's behind these catastrophes well ought to have been talking to we're now and russian physicist alexander ginsburg who says the only force to blame is mother nature herself. 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.
2:34 pm
about those problems dr going to thank you so much for talking to us now these conspiracy theories that have recently flooded the internet about how there's a geophysical weapon that somebody is testing that is causing all of these problems the icelandic volcano the 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 it's all been affected by disasters this in se asia in hungary
2:35 pm
whistleblowers came up with a different theory and they are saying these disasters are results of retaliation from the u.s. that perhaps the u.s. 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 streams as a weapon that i have no scientific evidence that the disasters could have been caused by climate weapon or geophysical weapon with 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
2:36 pm
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 that weather is good at red square parades i suspect this isn't only practiced in russia but in other countries as well. sylvia to authorities used where the control techniques and quite successfully to cause avalanches and hail storms and places where they needed them or drive focus away from airports it's easy to see from what i said that all weather control technology is anyone that controlling clouds and fog liquids in the atmosphere. the latest trend in weather control of is to use finely divided cement loads of cement cause rain when dumped into clouds and can be used to settle for. the physics at the core of those two persons 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 effecting weather other than enlarging
2:37 pm
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 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 got them back. where did the summer disasters in russia europe and pakistan come from well they didn't really come from anywhere the 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 in is a massive air spinning one way and producing to standing streams of air. in summer
2:38 pm
and winter this gives a clear sky it also makes the summers hotter now when we have a pack insisting of a strong cycle 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 certain 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 are not actually created by anything it is the cycling itself that is the reason for a change in atmospheric person since the cycling is the reason not a consequence of the consequences of the site learn i want we are dealing with now
2:39 pm
. so to the people who would say that. those conditions are a result of global warming would you say that they are mistaken or that they are correct in their new little neither this nor that and there is solid ground. as 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 to learn as for global warming people are arguing now whether it is natural or manmade it exists 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 woman at high or polar latitude depending on the hemisphere in the north or in the south but if temperature difference decreases the
2:40 pm
force which could get cyclons and anti cyclons apart and eliminate the blocking decreases as well. so in this respectable i cannot insist that it's a direct consequence of global manmade warming but as we see it 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 thought dealings but 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 emitting greenhouse effect and so on very much
2:41 pm
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 well as solar energy and wind energy because infrasound affect animals and fossil fuels are simply out of the question. but they are 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 naught 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
2:42 pm
showed us that climate problems should be discussed at summits copenhagen was the first port into knots and. well you mentioned cup and. the fact that leaders of countries need to 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's 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 there are also difficulties for example big fields of energy windmills producing infrasound that is not heard by human beings
2:43 pm
but sometimes small rodents and other animals leave these places so sometimes we are 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 room 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 while goods sold mission but that is global warming. it's been said so many times it's been
2:44 pm
blamed for all kinds of different things and then recently there were russian 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 but i would say that of one of the world centers of meteorology in climate science is in great britain it's the most ancient and great 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 by 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 cohn and under a lot of you enough to distinguish councillors of two distinguished leaders one of them was arguing that there was no global warming or the other was saying it exists
2:45 pm
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 appeared. to be brighter. from.
2:46 pm
for instance on t.v. dot com. they faced this is not a prohibition but warned. that we should just everybody is sure to support free trade because they have no idea about the hardships that we face. wanted. to do these things for the army. is the most precious thing in the world. uses of self-sacrifice and heroism with those who understand it fully but you have to live a. real life stories from. the trees nineteen forty five. top stories this hour naughty investigators say a blast in southern russia that injured thirty could have been the work of the al qaeda linked militant. metro bombings police in the capital have been put on
2:47 pm
a heightened state of alert that. russia brings together afghanistan and pakistan to discuss how to tackle drug traffickers and terrorism in central asia the afghan war seen as the major cause of instability. and human rights group publishes new photos of israeli soldiers humiliating palestinian prisoners comes off reform israeli officer posted pictures of herself posing with prisoners on facebook. and the u.k.'s first coalition government since one hundred forty five is lucky one hundred days in office tom has been characterized by massive cuts in public spending and comparisons to such as government. polish president pledges better relations with russia as investigators from both countries joined forces to work out what caused april's plane crash which killed president lech kaczynski more news more developments would mean i should say
2:48 pm
fifteen minutes from now in the meantime sport is next with. you're watching the sports news in our two thanks for joining us this hour a look at the headlines of ours. says prepare for that two legged play off against cypriot side on our tosses. meanwhile real madrid welcome a new star as all still completes a move to the galapagos from the bremen. and ukrainian heavyweight came behind it is set to defend his w.b.c. title on october sixteenth against american shadow that can embrace. all began with the latest summit transfer there is a new kid in town over in madrid. joins ryall for the bremen on a six if you're a dale price not really comparable to the one hundred fifty million the club paid

he's able to play on thursday when he got the injury a day and a half ago there were there is some time left before the game to come to the final conclusion you must first thought it was already me and the song was there much vaster international experience along with a pretty good knowledge of their opponents only swings the only man hard favorites for the tie although it's a safe bet on their ducks last aussies will give their all to make a splash how much money on r.t. moscow region. well liverpool are also two games away from the group stages they face a turkish side. in the opening lag at anfield the much as sandwiched between two big premier league games their head start of the season when they won all home draw against alston on sunday and next monday they travel to man city expected to be one of the main challengers for a top four finish and roy hodgson freely admits he is prioritizing the premier league games ahead of the europa league. but i think if you had a toilet choice you would have to. you'd like to do both but if one was
2:54 pm
forced to say you can only choose one to play. the premier league and let the availability even go for teams that are playing. now the scandal which in golf to the french national team out world cup to any town finally looks to have come to now and with some i open in punishments handed down the most severe of which being eighteen match ban which affects only as the chelsea man's international korea it all stems from a call flicked with them manager i'm on doesn't add during the group stages of the finals on the call was subsequently sand hell where they are remaining scored the refusing to train captain patrice evra received a five match ban on tuesday for his part there evolved from very well be out for three games while sharing the long misses just one new manager had already suspended the entire school prior to a friendly with no wait last week. and it seems to me that the players are
