the on this issue without the very broad green or even a smile because it's just a cloudy gesture on the part of the most extreme right. member of the coalition who always uh come up, but uh we saw some oakland beach ideas. it has uh nothing to do. we realized in the israel now and uh, you know, if 2 people spend 20 feet about waving the flag and the 3rd president comes over. but spencer, for use the policeman leg going to arrest them. obviously, peace is not enforceable. just drug patient, just another street in the face of peace, loving people, either a police geniune always really. but nevertheless, what is riley's can do is booked up the to flex to gather if

they had the sort of an emblem where the police didn't. and these really flags of flying, who's going to take down this double flag, which includes these rally? well, so there are many ways to bypass base mockery of legislation. all right, let's just about rubbing out this program for now. here on off the international from all of us here at the us international headquarters in most go a special haven't even this friendship a share of your time with us. you can catch up with all of us story that all c dot com, but also any number about telegram. the meantime, the, [000:00:00;00]

the pull up shelves is not that bright and he is an even worse german chancellor. though he is self aware enough to understand and acknowledge some nations, the double standards on russian, peo, colonial thinking. it would seem dice hard $2100.00 local governments in $39.00 countries have made climate declarations. this allows the government to take emergency action to reverse global warming. these actions could include natural resource rationing, prohibit development in a severe cases mandatory lockdown sky, now huge. and on this edition of $360.00 view, we're going to look at the dramatic steps and governments are trying to take the name of saving the planet. let's get started,

the ever since a cold, there has been a lot of fear about another round of locked out, but this time it is not for the virus, but for the environment. we're bringing our international correspondent walk center for llano to break down what happened to the planet. the last time the world stood still roxanna scotty. it was only 3 years ago when the whole world was ordered to stay home, to prevent the spread of colbert. while we all thought was for only 2 weeks turned into 2 years. well, this destroyed economies. i'm bad for the business. this. it was actually good for the environment. many people were working from home, which means they were no longer driving in their cars, less cars and the road means less pollution in the air. air high school in field, the plains. i'm some we're the only one passenger we're grounded and canceled many

last few emissions houses were all ducked. cruise lines have been a target up environmental leased for tripling the size of your carbon footprint. the moment you step on deck compared to other typical vacations people see or they were no longer dumping waste into the oceans. the scores were seen golf is closer to source and waters have never been so clear. even training some boxes for public try and see if were halted completely or reduce their service. for instance, here in washington dc, many bus routes were canceled on the metro went from running every 2 to 3 minutes to running every 30 minutes even now as were returning from depends that make the trace only wrong every 50 minutes. with fear of people walking the streets, new york and san francisco, usually full of people, were yearly empty. these also lead to less leader on the ground. here in washington, dc, again, we still grass grow in areas,

usually field with foot traffic. it seemed almost a serious turn. greener, national parts sat down to visitors. now while lives sun beating in the middle of the road, coming out and exploring areas they have never there to before you to mass crowds. many businesses are implementing work from home permanently. this leads to less need for building infrastructure to handle rice and commuters population, meaning less trees have to be torn down to widen roads. but as the world came out of log down and began to return to work, traveling an hour every day live, so came back to pollution. now the u. n. is warning against the times to combat climate change is a quote, rough if a closing window it seems, were worse than we started. but even back in the heights of the pen demik, when the world was saw supposedly much healthier environmental lee,

the u. n. was thing countries were not on track to meet the pirates agreements kind of goals. we have to remember with all these ground flights also came mass layoffs with canceled boss routes. low income workers had no way to get to their jobs. restaurant workers, another customer service industries who cannot work from home, became dependent on governments and stimulus handouts have led to record inflation and i'm in pending recession. we're also now learning probably it was a lot. it isn't that deadly as badly as we 1st believe that that says don't work and governments are not releasing findings. the virus came from a lab leak in well, on the mask, everyone was forced where you started save. they didn't even stop the spread. now icon for 5500 tons of plastic waste. as 1600000000 this possible mask

answer. our ocean seems 20. 20 people have lost faith in their government. a media for making them stay home and destroying the economy. i live so low a middle class families across a globe with people even trust scientists, if they said a lot that will save the planet. and so while i logged on may have helped mother earth for just a moment. i what cost do we pay? have to pay and what would be the price to do it again? i'm roxana solano. 436. the you back to you study. wow roxanne, i mean i still, i'm not holding up that i remember what those lock downs did just for our industry, much less others. but we knew that we could come back out if there were certain benchmarks, freeze with climate change. it's not like there would be those benchmarks that would be permanent, as we've already seen, were already back to where we were preparing demik standards according to climate change activist. would you be willing to stay home again to save the planet scotty? i think it actually might hurt the plan. if i stay home,

i have teenagers. they do roxanna for this story. joining me to shed light on this subject is currently matthews communications director at the american conservation coalition. thank you so much for joining me. carly. thanks for having me. sorry. so the united nations is a warning. the window to take action against climate change is quote, rapidly closing. now, the report details the possible risk of premature deaths across the globe due to climate change. what could cause a desk from climate change as you see it? great, so it's a good question. and i think that the biggest issue that we're dealing with here is kind of the idea of alarm is i'm ruling the conversation when we're talking about climate change. and it's not helpful to tell people that they're going to die in 10 years. it's not helpful to tell them that it, we're out of time to take action. i think there are environmental effects that we should be careful of air quality, of course, and, you know, increase temperatures,

extreme weather. those are serious concerns. but i don't think it's really successful. i don't think it's rational to be telling people that climate change means they're going to die and there's nothing we can really do about it. yeah, fear is something that is used often, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's the most effective way of getting people to understand what is actually going on. so what do you say to those climate skeptics out there? and furthermore, why should the average citizen trust scientist on this one considering the past history from the past few years? all right, so i think that's a great point. i think that we've seen kind of a general increase of this trust of all institutions really across the board, whether they be political scientific, in fact, nature magazine, which is a really up until recently, very respected scientific journal, found that after indoors still buying in 2020 and people started to distrust it and they actually just trusted their scientific expertise because they weighed in on

politics. so i think that we're seeing overall kind of a, a just trust in institutions. but when i talk to climate skeptics and i talk to folks who uh, you know, art sure about, you know, whether or not climate change is happening or whether or not we should care. or frankly, i start with the idea that we all want clean air and clean water. we all want a healthy planet to live on. and then we should be taking steps to make sure that we have that today, but also for future generations. and i think that that's really successful, kind of igniting this conservation eco, is talking about, you know, our shared experiences in nature. why or when it matters? i think that's a really good gateway, and then we can get into, you know, the more granular solutions to the carbon eyes. in order to the effects that we'll see from climate change. when you're talking to the skeptic tractor and i have to ask this based on your last answer, we're talking to those skeptics. do you see a difference from one political side, maybe more liberal versus conservative, or even age, the older versus the younger generation?

who do you feel like is, is most accepting that something needs to be done or most accepting that there are changes happening? sure, yeah, i think this is absolutely in each gap rather than a political gap. and you'll see that young conservatives compared to young progressives both have pretty high levels of um, you know, thinking climate change is real. what a to support politicians who think climate change is real. and so i really do think it's a generational guy rather than a part us than gap, although i will say that. and you know, as you survey to um, get older older um, lots of builders and conservatives. and they tend to be the more skeptical which i think is fair. i think we've seen, you know, climate active us be wrong. i think we can point back to outdoor or um, you know, some of that kind of early, 21st century climate messaging that frankly just didn't come to pass. but i do think that coming back to this idea of, you know, wanting to steward our planet and wanting it to be better for all generations. i

think that that's something that really unites folks across ages across partisanship, across yarber fee then. well then you go to the extreme because we are here and these whispers about climate locked downs. we're that lock downs may have made the planet healthy or during cobit. but what is the reality of this happening now? you know, we've seen protests in hong kong when china tried to lock down for their 0 coated policy and the road actually rally behind them. what are the chances people would be actually susceptible to accepting a lock down for the environment? yeah, it's a good question. i think we did see, you know, kind of an environmental rebound during the beginnings of kobe block downs. people were pointing to that and the rivers incentives and the official returns, and they looked cleaner. but i guess my question to that would be at what cost, right. and when we're talking about climate or environmental solutions, they should be good for people and good for the planet. and i don't think that

a locked down is good for people. so when we're talking about, you know, combat and finally change, or protecting our environment in general, i think we have to be realistic about the trade off and lockdown, frankly. have to hire a trade off. i don't think it's worth it. and for humans, i don't think it's worth it for society. it just seems very dramatic considering the stage that we're in right now and where we're coming back from. you know, i want to get your take on this and cast stove debate that is just recently erupted hot topic right now. in america, 40 percent of households do have a gas stove. other countries that ratio is even higher california pass. there's no new construction. we'll have a guest of new york to save. you worked in the same. how will people cook when the electric company cuts their power due to high wind during the season? you know, i, i keep thinking about to the bottom ministration, attempting to push legislation banding these gas. those has caused an hour. i would love your take on the gas stove band. and if this is really once again, just like the lock down, is this really

a dramatic step that would have that much of an impact on the environment and would be accepting by people to it's a great question. i think it's been really interesting how the buying it ministration has tried to kind of navigate this discourse because it 1st, you know, it was kind of a flooding permanent ministration. official saying that they might consider doing that. and then we were told, oh no, no, no, no, we're not doing that. yeah, that's crazy. that's just can serve this town, say, but to your point, there are states and localities who are being a new gas construction, basically meaning when you construct a new building, it wouldn't have the gas hook up that you'd need to put a gas stove in, in those residencies, so i think the 1st of all, it's in effective climate policy, right? a lot of people are pointing to a study where, you know, having a gas stove in your home. how does childhood asthma or really dramatically decreases the quality of the air in your home freely?

it's just a really negligible difference. if you have an electric stove or a gas to interestingly actually um, it's more dangerous for air quality to come up with olive oil than to cook with a gas stove. again, both are really negligible effects on your health. so i think we're getting distracted with these like bands or top down solutions rather than just focusing on interviewing and, and letting the private sector take the lead on climate solutions, living localities, and really do what works best for them. and i think with the, the gas, so ben, it's really just an example of government overreach that won't have that much of the fact. thank you so much. carley matthews, now stick around with us for the 2nd part of the show. because as governments are placing more climate manage on companies, we see if there is any sort of middle ground, disturbing the environment. i've got out here and you are watching 360

the the

the we are back with calling matthews from the american it conservation coalition on climate locked down. probably thank you so much for joining us. thanks gabby. okay, so we are hearing about e. s g or environmental, social and governance. now this is an infesting strategy. looking at a business is environmental and social risk, all a part of financial planning. so the e s. g investing actually make a difference. and do you see companies really beholden to a higher state or now or does the entire system still live proper checks, verifications? most importantly, accountability is a great question. i think the sd is something that is well intentioned. i think it's frankly, i think it's capitalism working. um maybe the business is investing in what they

think is right with it as a conservative, i think it is good business practice, but i think it that you're right that there is kind of this element as well. as they're not investing in the fees and they're, you know, not the right type of company your, you know, they're not, they're not prioritizing social adjustments enough where, where they think a lot of these companies do. yeah. she investing for kind of p, r and public image. so it's an interesting balance of being, you know, which companies are really taking their values into account and are investing in, in initiatives that they really believe in and making a difference versus, you know, running a p r campaign sticking to finances you know, most of the western world actually lives as a capital society. so why don't they let the paying customers side? you know, if the company wants to go green, if it wants to lower its own carbon footprint, and people are into that, let it succeed. if they don't care about the planet and people don't want their product push to the product anymore, the company will fail. why does the government have to actually get involved? why not just leave it up to the consumer?

absolutely, and that's something we talk a lot about at the see, see kind of this idea of voting with your dollars and supporting companies that, that share your values. i think that the, the intention of yes he is to do that right. for companies to kind of show their values, put their money rather amount there and for consumers to accept or reject that support that company or not support that company. i think that that in itself is capital letter stating that that is the free market working. but i think that the government mandating that business as investors ray is the wrong the wrong path forward. and we, we can really make sure that the government is out of investing. and, but companies like microsoft, like apple and late fees near these large companies that have the capital to do so . i think that they should be able to invest in initiatives that, that their, their employees believe in was interesting when you're talking about conservation. it seems like there's very extreme polarized ends,

where you're either very much this way. they're very much decide, but yet, is there some middle ground, for instance, with a letter in san charlie's? it's such a high, fine. there's one the most pristine beaches that i've ever seen of. it is a fact that literally is bad for the environment. it's also just bad for you as a person to do. while the best times of energy seemed to be up for debate, how can we actually protect the planet for future generations without actually making the government regulate every aspect of our lives? right, and i, i really like that you brought up literally because that's really kind of the perfect example of protecting our planet. and it just kind of an individual action that we've accepted is that we shouldn't litter and there are kind of for that there. there's also kind of like a social aspect of like if, if a friend sees you good ring, that friend is going to think about you differently. and so i think that that's a really good example of kind of an individual action to help protect the planet with energy. of course, it's more complicated and yes,

fossil fuels produce emissions, but they're also the reason that our society has advanced to the level it has today . so there are tradeoffs there. and that's why we advocate for all of the above energy approaching, recognize that different areas of the country are going to be able to get their energy from different sources and, and what works in washington state like hydro power isn't going to work in florida where they really drive off solar power. and so i think that there is a discussion to be had there that there is not a one size fits all solution for all energy and climate issues. and especially in a country as kind of vast and geographically diverse as ours. and we're going to need kind of a password of solutions and that's why my organization, advocates for climate commitment which lays out kind of a variety of policy pathways that we can, we can pursue in order to lower emissions, but also protect the planet with people in mind and yet you're finding right now i think around the world,

people are trying to figure out where they're going to get their energy from at this point and, and hope that there's enough of it there. you're right. the fact that one part of the region you can't and you cannot put rules across the entire glove. obviously the climate is different in various areas. let's take china where there are restrictions on what day you can drive in order to limit the number of people that are actually on the road due to their exported population plus in order to lower pop pollution. that's happening at any given time. shanghai is, are in a cloud of pollution as the air quality levels are over twice the world health organization to recommended safety threshold. there's got to be an effect on health from that. so could this be something other countries look to and for once actually the west get it right? implement in the future. but is it hard to make this one big a global umbrella policy that would work for all right. i don't think that one size fits all silver bullet solution exist, and i think we see that when we look to be you and i mean name

a more dysfunctional bodies in the u. n. and, you know, treaties that we see come out of the un under non binding, right? there is not a way that we can hold other countries like china, accountable and, and in china is really kind of the driver of climate change as we see it today. they're not planning to start reducing emissions until 2030. that's when their emissions will peak. and so i think when we're talking about china and, and the way that they've treated the environment and they don't care about climate change, they care about power. the ccp of the chinese communist party and you know, all they care about is kind of their position on the world stage. and in the united states, in our allied countries, we really care about our people and our planet. and we have to ensure that the solutions that we implement on our soil worked for both of those. and i don't think that china is really an example that we should look too frankly for anything but

especially on the environment. so we've talked a lot about climate limitations, but has any country actually implemented a climate locked down and do you think was a model for others wanting to do the same? i did not know of this quote unquote successful clement walked down anywhere on the planet. and frankly, i don't think there, there would be one i think that the closest thing we can find is kind of restrictions in china as far as driving, things like that. but again i, i don't think that that's something that what should be countries are really going to tolerate. once again, it's one of those things that you're kind of just threatening out. there is almost a fear factor on i don't know if it necessarily helps and receiving your message right now to actually care more about the climate when you have those kind of threats out there. there has been though, a lot of criticism of client activist lately, you mentioned it earlier. you know, for example, you have pat hadley stage arrest of grid, a sunburn and people might think that she's really help the climate change effort

argument. i think she's actually done a lot of damage. it's definitely destroyed a lot of trust that. so i'm having it all over the past months, you've even had her deleting a tweet where she herself and the earth would be destroyed by climate change in 2023. and obviously we're having this conversation right now. her prediction did not come true. lots of celebrities, a late to fly on private jets around the world to events where they turn they preach about and receive wards about their climate change activists. they're telling us what we should do. obviously they're not, don't you think this actually plays onto this a negative perception? the average citizen has of any climate activism and perhaps actually strips away what might be at the core, a sincere message of warning it to take care of our own planet. and i think you're exactly right, and that's a big reason that my organization does not engage in prototypes. people never finance fooling ourselves footballs, or getting arrested. and for protesting. i think that when we're talking about

climate activision, we have to think about, you know, how you're going to weigh people over to your side. and i don't think you're going to do that by interrupting their commute by blocking traffic and destroying the prices, piece of artwork, or staging and arrest. so i think we're really trying to reach you audiences. and it emphasizes the importance of protecting our planet. we have to get serious about the topics that we use to do that and for formative activism, frankly, doesn't work. and even the station rebellion, which is kind of um, you know, the most notorious climate activism group in europe announced earlier this year that they would be laid off of some of these protests because they found anecdotally that they do not work. so i think that we're really seeing kind of a change in that and seeing that, you know, we kind of need to you, we need to show people why they should care rather than kind of throwing us dogs in their face. thank you. somebody to call him matthews,

communication director at the american conservation coalition. a now while the world was a quick to submit to lock down out of fear of a virus, i think it's going to take a lot more convincing for the same to happen over and occurs, which is still highly debated as whether it is man made or just the natural progression of the yours. sadly, as with almost every other controversial topic. when those who make the rules actually abide by them, then maybe any restrictions they offer will be taken seriously. sky, no hughes, and this has been your 360 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching the i own the

russian states. never as tight as i'm one of the most sense. gave me the best, i'll send, send the send, the 65 must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz full neck, keeping our video agency roughly, all the band on youtube tv services for the question, did you say a request, which is the tricky is already in a joint venture keys already doing its share as

a nate on ethics. but it's not going by some of the american ideas of kind of we cannot make them hard goes, i guess rush, i think tricky will continue. and that's only because the relationship maybe beneficial economic rates. but also because russia has to be a partner in maintaining the international or the how brands are fascinating, they control everything from our ability to function to experiencing emotion. in fact, your ability to understand what i'm saying to you right now comes down to the amazing functionality of your brain. and yet there are still so much that we don't understand about how our minds work. so what happens when things go wrong up here? well, to find out the answers, we came here to speak with the john,

here's one of the world's foremost in our surgeons. utilizing state of the art technology and progressive techniques. the, the top headlines right now and i'll see you the national as one civilian is killed and full wounded as a supermarket poplin, that even a children's playground in dawn and bass come under ukrainian shelley as always, all the remains on the front line. this is a residential area around me, a recall that broke there was no military presence here. many of the children that used this playground would've been born off the 2014. so they would know nothing but war. that's what russian security chief claims traces of radiation. they're
