in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, ah, the world is now engaged in a massive real live game, a moved on it, who is responsible for the attack on russia, north frame one and north from 2 pipeline. today we can answer that question, but we can take a look at the cost of the actual damage done. is the attack on north freeman act of eco terrorism? absolutely, if we base it off the definition of eco terrorism, which is quote, a deliberate act of environmental destruction meant to further political and regardless of the culprit, the rupture of the norm frame pipeline is the largest single release of climate
10:32 pm
damaging methane ever recorded. i'm christy i and you're watching the cost of everything. where today we take a closer look at the destruction of the north stream pipelines and the cost will place on the environment and the surrounding nations. i you members, days are day thing to investigate. the sabotage of the north stream pipelines attacks that are now flash points in an escalating energy war between europe and moscow that has global gas prices. soaring data has announced that quote, all currently available information indicates that this is the result of a deliberate, reckless and irresponsible acts of sabotage. neither pipeline was pumping gas to europe at the time of the league, but the incident removes expectations that europe my receive gas from non stream
10:33 pm
one before winter. so what is the cost of this act of eco terrorism? an estimated $200000.00 tons of methane has been released from the 2 pipeline since the rupture that is equal to the annual carbon emissions of 5200000 cars. it is also equal to the met. they produce from about 480000000 pounds of beef cows . now that's enough meat to supply israel for a year. methane is a very potent greenhouse gas, so even a little leak has quite a large climate impact. let's talk about the cost of this attack and bring in a larger magni, a, a political risk analyst, a veteran war correspondent. so olaja, how much damage is done in total? we're talking about environmental damage, infrastructure, damage and international relationship damage. can we quantify that? when all this is called collateral damage,
10:34 pm
when it is in the interest of national security, and we had president biden chain a few months ago that no stream too is going to be suspended and he is capable of doing so don't try and try. but the chancellor angela merkel in germany was very firm in preventing b united states from cutting the guides at that comes from russia. however, i didn't manage and succeeded. and he announced from the white house from washington this is pension of nor stream to. now this is and then the victory for the united states. so the damage to the environment that's going to affect the whole planet is always called the justified by the big picture, big gain that the americans are getting and they have manage. indeed,
10:35 pm
to cut the relationship between russia and europe when a europe used to buy guys in energy from russia to the amount of more than $400000000000.00 a year. so suspending all this relationship with russia is extremely beneficial for the united state. and now we are turning towards right toward tonight states asking the americans to sell as god that is 40 percent more expensive than the russian guys in when the price was in its normal stage. today, it's much more expensive than that. and now this car comes at a time when there is already quite a bit of tension between russia and europe. so what is their relationship now as there's a lot of finger pointing and suspicion on both sides? unfortunately, the relationship is very bad today because this is a decision that we have can hear in the repeated continents to resign ourselves
10:36 pm
with the americans. because the american story, european leaders at the beginning and here not 14 myself, but i'm quoting, the prime minister of hunger. ready said the american stole that, that in the 1st month, russia is going to be defeated, that president put in is going to be removed and we going to win. and nate will prevail, and the economy will be flourishing. and we getting none of all that. however, we have decided to align ourselves with the americans to increase the power of native when we considered, particularly the president mcconnell said that nature is a brain dead. and suddenly, nato is dominant and we have decided to shoot ourselves not in the foot, but also in the head with the booming effect of the economic crisis. that is a thing. and the inflation due to the sanctions that we had decided to impose on
10:37 pm
russia and the stunning against us. so we have taken our decision to step aside and stand behind the united states again. russia yes. now even before the nor in stream disaster, there was still a lot of anger and disapproval of this project with several group citing that this pipeline would cause masses, c o, 2 emissions of up to 100000000 tons per year, and methane leaks. so how do you balance the global goals, like the paris agreement and limiting global warming with geo political needs and europe growing demand for gas? what is laughable because we are back to using the or the factory that produce cold and we back to the nuclear energy we back to the dirty energy that we said we putting on the side. and we have worked for the last decade on clean energy, and suddenly we decide to spoil the planet to spoil the air that we are breathing
10:38 pm
to go against. every principle that we said, we believe in, just because we want to impose sanctions on our sentence and russia and in politics, politics and is not always meaningful. and it is most of the time damaging, but not as damaging as we are closing today. so we no longer looking at the atmosphere, we no longer looking at the global warning. we no longer looking at the clean energy and nothing of all that. we buying the liquid guys we establishing new time . and there's because we don't have that, we're going back to call 3800 factory that are back now to produce energy when they were shut down more than 10 years ago. and now the current rate of emissions were produced. st. what will happen to the environment?
10:39 pm
obviously you have global warming, but what will it mean for individuals and how will that impact the average citizens life when it does go into effect as tremendously we've seen this year, for example, and the weather in europe was unbearable. we had $45.00 degrees celsius, we cannot fire night, and we had there, at least for 3 to 4 months. we had no rain whatsoever. the weather is changing, the global warming is affecting the whole planet is going to increase and it goes by cycle of 3 to 4 years. and i think what we are doing is we are increasing that damage to the planet. we cutting more pre, because we need to work to warm up, particularly in the mountains in the, in the north of europe. and we just creating one habit after another just for the sake of allowing the policy to pervade we're all nations are scrambling to cut
10:40 pm
carbon emissions, but is enough to just solve the problem. or are we stalling and pushing the problem out further to the future generations? we know, leaving anything to the, to the following generation. really but destruction and our bad decisions is going to affect the whole planet and the new generation, of course, because we're the way we are pushing for war. we are investing for where in war we are producing more weapons. we are turning all the industry from mass civilian to minute tree productions only to because there is a fight between russia and the night and state and the united states is not willing to step up on its. ready word a gemini and because of the americans are going to defend themselves and to do
10:41 pm
everything destroy everything. if that is the cost to remain on the strome. and this is going to affect the generation everywhere in the world, including united states. because this war is going to have the ripple effect on every single continent, including the united states, even if the war is happening on the european soil in ukraine. neisha life, the u. s. a met massive amounts of pollution with their military. but at the same time, they're trying to fight climate change isn't. there's some hypocrisy here. they don't justify anything really because they control mainstream media. they can manipulate the information. it's spread this information and make sure that they prioritize whatever day one day to day. ukraine is occupying the news everywhere was like the problem of europe is the word problem, which is not the case. so that's why the control of media is very important. and in
10:42 pm
this case, the control of media is very efficient for the waste. that is indeed in control of the media, is in control of what kind of information to inject and the population is mine, how to prioritize their life and made them think about, how are we going to supply your grain with more weapons know how going to educate our children, how we're going to look after the problem. how are we going to look after the planets? how are we going to look after the environment? how we can make the word a better place, but not what kinds of weapons were going to supply ukraine. so he can bomb russia and increase the rhythm of war and push russia to further retaliation. this is what they are pushing us to think about. and we refuse to think neither in this them, but we are the minority. we not the majority. and finally,
10:43 pm
the way to stop messing waste and capture at a low net cost. because today the industry is focused only on how to manufacture weapons to ukraine because they the lack of weapon grain because they thought the with the we in the west. we believe that the war is not going to last for the last for very long. so what we have done is we started to send all our weapons and reserves to ukraine, thinking is going to and quickly. now we are tackling the strategic reserves and that the dangers, every single nation, including the states because the war is still going on. so we have our industry 1st because we don't have enough energy in europe to give it for civilian use. so in the u. k, they talking about cutting down the rate in for 3 to 4 hours in germany for 2 hours
10:44 pm
. here in france. they cut it from time to time. today the r o q on guys, any stations. so the priorities that shift it from becoming the continent where industry is one of the 4th and the was and to produce industry is sell it around the blow to turning this industry into aman and feeding the corporate feeding. only the giant companies that are just selling weapons across the world, but they need a war to do that. so this is where we have focused and we have forget about we are forgetting about the well being of individual, the well being of human mind and the we're being of the planning. and finally, is there a way to stop messing waste and capture at a low net cost today? we know looking really about how to create less damage or to reduce the
10:45 pm
weights in the industry because we talking about is the industry going to survive or not at the the that that is going, the industry is not going to survive. so everything else is going to be permitted for the industrial waste or whatever because the industry is going to struggle and most of the industry is going to shut down, particularly in germany. so that is the main concern. people are going to lose their jobs. they're going to be 1000000 in the street. they're all going to manufacture against the decision of the government and where these government are taking us. so we are, these are the waste in the industry, the global warning, the hand of the damage. the planets are going to come as a secondary, on the secondary level, not on the 1st level of priority. thank you so much,
10:46 pm
elijah magneer for your insight. throughout history, armed conflicts has impacted the environment. when we come back, we'll take a look at that one. we'll discuss how the a task on ne pipelines would have a huge impact on climate change. we'll have more when the cost of everything with her the oh, i'm like 41 percent of us adults have enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical debt. in america. we do have a well 1st system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's a conditional system. you have to prove to the government that you truly need help
10:47 pm
. the simplest way, like explain the basic income, is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payments that would go to everyone. just a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. i would like them name. i don't know, i just won't go crazy. the reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it. and just by virtue of your being here with ah. ringback ready because she spent with us
10:48 pm
10:49 pm
with lou, welcome back to the cost of everything. armed conflict is a tragedy both for the people and the environment. land, air, water, plants, animals, and all living organisms are affected as war causes of pollution. oil facilities are deliberately attacked, more fumes from fighter jets taking off release gases and scorched earth tactics
10:50 pm
lead to the contamination a rivers and fees. so let's assess some of the environmental damages from previous conflicts and world war one damage landscape through large scale trench warfare and erosions have resulted from the massive force logging to expand the network of trenches. then in world war 2, chemical contamination in area warfare contributed to the reduction in the population of global flora and fauna, as well as species diversity. then during the vietnam war, the once prestige habitats transformed into an almost apocalyptic nightmare, especially from the carpet bombing tactics and the use of chemical agent orange. the oil spill in 1991 from the gulf war was perhaps the largest in history. among other impacts over 30000 see birds died when their feathers were coated in an oil. with this latest attack on non stream $1.00 and $2.00,
10:51 pm
the impact on the climate is undeniable. so let's go deeper with the honest been a toll glue remote sensing policy manager, clean air task force. so 1st of all, at the current rate of emissions, we are producing what will happen to the environment. obviously you have global warming, but what will it mean for the individuals and how will it affect the average citizens life globally, if you go on this time to be watch 3 words, most of routes are everybody in the
10:52 pm
world. nations are scrambling to cut carbon emissions, but is it enough to just solve the problem or are we just stalling and pushing the problem out further to the future generations, blah, blah glances. we need to gustavo, greenhouse gas. ah, and going to hopefully clean doesn't bring us with us. oh, so it won't. recent monster got the only reason to mean scrubs and bottles. gases. ah, the should be enough to so that the to class. but this is only we go and your husband scheduled. and to do that, we need to do all 3 super. so we need both forgot, assume is what before so many years of he also got a song cannibal and he mas, reduce it who got ha,
10:53 pm
shut them for the 1st of we can see, you know, and this will buy this one though the so they are able to reduce also c o, 2 emissions, which will take it much longer. i movies, combined in, on my, on my whole southern wig know sushi, very thoughtful. i think scientists think that i'm sorry. oh, can be reached. there is arthur the oil and gas industry. the oil and gas industry supply chain emit huge amounts and methane every year. so tell us about the noise stream disaster and also explain why there isn't more attention put on the oil and gas industry in general. they're not really oh, leaks, though, the machine disaster is actually the beast. the andy. 00, one good pressing. inspire options. oh lucy mostly give
10:54 pm
her the biggest lions actually. oh, you totally love santucci back to the one. ah, but his name said sue was if we could very blog we and gossip the streams, which are you. um. i dusty we if we will and what rolling us in just um. so i really was b is a d just after since miss dean. oh, holly you laura. gus she's so you said sue, oh oh shoot, luke. oh, how her? the nazi not so least but the bottle of use, the better the customer. ah, those 40 you english. oh, there are english now source spaniards them about the
10:55 pm
option to steal r t block. so any relation to make the one us malice? ah, chicken lee and then emissions planning waste and want to go look um kristen will be using just a if you want to get us. and finally, is there a way to start methane waste and capture a low carbon net cost within wastefulness? use the softener? can be done or up locally with us. um, what is it a good while actually is ah, good use technologies of living? no. applied and literally and with some overalls. and then was other reasons we only have use of industry computers based on me replacing osama whitman
10:56 pm
. it's not bizarre, broken machine, it's written by design. ah, other features or textbook specialist cameras to select that we've moved already exist in the market. and this will help reduce the dramatically the image is water a little more difficult or most of these forms are recently discussed. is barbara brought to live in a little bit by a glass and the concern itself is well as the course of my district. if we want to see, you know, what broadly, and what we leave. and what can you, to achieve is an odd to shifting the wellness, knowing us, you know, ah, as in the previous years 60 james carter james, who? oh mama, 41 unsecure, written safety. ah, we need to sing. lottie says mother of seeking vanity. so he's taking things seriously. ah, and his son, this can be achieved by a division the whole city center because as we said with acknowledging sister
10:57 pm
acknowledges really ah, and with both hostile on 70 percent of this to be met. so actually there are no x, t 's, or wait long such thank you so much. no honors, bennett toggling for inside. so in the end, who profits from pipeline terrorism? europe is not imparting gas, russia is unable to sell and deliver gas. so is there anyone coming out ahead? well, it looks like poland isn't doing too shabby. the baltic pipeline in northwest, poland opened almost simultaneously with the sabotage and this pipelines whole purpose was to cut europe dependence on russians. energy supplies, the timing of the opening with the destruction of the north stream was very coincidental. this all but ensures that germany will not walk back from the
10:58 pm
conflict as there is no incentive now for ending sanctions. which means we leave you with a very important question. who says to benefit the most by ensuring that germany cannot make decisions or insulting. i'm christy i. thanks for watching. we'll see you back here next time on the cost of everything. ah ah, what else seemed wrong, i just don't mean. i mean you have to ship out this thing because of the ticket and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.
10:59 pm
lou needs to come to russian state to never tied us on the most landscape with eclipse in 55 with the speed anyone else with we will ban in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state aunt, rush up to date and school r t spoke that given our video agency, roughly all brand on you to a, with
