itself out on the pitch. in the longer term. saudi arabia is perhaps one of the few countries that has the appetite and the resources to one day rival europe's best teams. but for now, ram madrid have continued their continents dominance of global club football and richardson, algae, sarah, rebecca. ah, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. the earthquake death toll across to kia in syria continues to climb more than $29000.00 now. confound dead! 6 days on from the disaster hopes of rescuing any more survivors from the rubble are beginning to fade in. we'll talk as president rash applied beto on. so step 2 will be taken to rebuild broken cities within weeks. he's denied accusations that building codes were properly enforced. bennett smith has more now from intact. yeah . one of the challenges for the government is it wants to move people away from these areas because it needs to stop this disaster turning into a public health catastrophe. the air is thick with smoke and dust. there's no sanitation. people are still buried under the rubble and people are sleeping out in the open. so they need to provide the tense. there are some sense here on the outskirts of and talk about that is they are beginning to arrive, but still aren't enough yet. but the government needs to get people out of this area in these areas so that they can start trying to rebuild and try to clear the deborah deborah, but also so they can maintain a public health or aid is now trickling into revel held parts of north syria rescue efforts were hampered in the war to one region with many they're saying they felt abandoned another i'm identified object has been shut down over north america. an air space this time over northern canada. and the country is prime minister. just introduce says the object violated canadian as base. both canadian and american forces were tracking the object before a usa craft, then shot it down over the yukon. this comes a day after a flying object was shot down over alaska. and just one week after a chinese balloon was down off the coast of north carolina. well, those are the headlines. they'll be much more news for you here on out there after people and power to stay with us. talk to, i'll just 0. we. where should they not be more oversized perhaps so found ations like yours? we listen when it comes to diversification. we don't do it in order to get wrinkled directions, energy sources. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stall restock matter. on al jazeera, i think stream storms, wildfires rising sea levels. the results of global warming have become ever more evidence in recent years. but how different might things have being had an industry which knew about climate change. long before the rest of us acted on that evidence, instead of trying to deny it. in the 1st 2 episodes, a team of swiss filmmakers examines big oils unhappy relationship with the true. the ah, climate change is an established fact. a now undeniable truth. the world is getting warm a year on year and from many the consequences all ready, devastating. belatedly, governments are reacting and solutions are being sold and pursued with varying degrees of success. but why can we pay more heat to the warnings? what if we that to probably on what was known about global warming decades ago, why didn't we do something about life threatening carbon emissions when we had the chance? the answer to those questions and now becoming clear. but for decades, they've been concealed behind a curtain of deliberate deceit and willful denial. the tragedy is it could all have been avoided. i feel like there's always a connection with my ancestors here. i know that every piece in the bar care, every strip of it, every layer that inside every ring of the tree, there is a part of their dna as a part of their energy here. because they were here with this tree stood where grass and things were around. it has stead of now where it's holding on to it looks like it's wine all day each time that i've been here it's, it's changed something that was standing isn't standing anymore. mm. until a few years ago, this beach in the southern united states was densely forested. today, the trees are dead and dying husks poison by salt water. queen quit is the leader of an african american community in south carolina. they've lived on this land for centuries on the now very vulnerable to climate change. your need only get to the or line anywhere here to see how climate impacts us. we have seen the sea levels rising, we have experienced more intense, hurricanes, and we've ever experienced them my entire life. and so for years, we were saying to people, to politicians can look at what's happening. there is something wrong in the land as a road into fath at trees, the whole lay down. okay? so if the trees are laying down, you should accompany attention to them. they hear me. nothing in this inexorable rise in sea levels. is one of the most dramatic consequences of global warming. but similar effects can be seen everywhere. ah, even the glassy is on our highest mountains are melting from the alps to the himalayas. the planet just keeps getting hotter. humanity is now at risk, but it's also responsible for this catastrophe because of its addiction to fossil fuel. it needn't have been this way. 40 years ago the world's major oil produces new. their products were threatening our climate. they could have changed course, but they didn't. and so neither did we the most shocking thing we've learned in the last 5 or 6 years is that the oil companies, the biggest companies in the world, had their own science programs inside the company. they had a very deep understanding of the climate crisis before the rest of us did really for more than 20 years, could davis has been investigating the role played by big oil in the climate crisis . they were aware that the issue was going to get worse. and yet they did not tell anyone else about this knowledge. they didn't tell governments, they didn't tell the public, they her said it publicly. so that's where the, the crimes this is the shocking story of that disregard. a story of full waste did decades of denial and misinformation time that could have been better spent helping his old transition to a fossil fuel free world. ah ah far art over the atlantic flying observed in the early 1990 is the shell oil company produced a film about it? scientists that explained why they were taking gas samples from the air and measuring the temperature of the oceans. it was all to study the climate shell was looking into the impact of its products on the atmosphere, its competitors role doing the same. so towel b. p, chevron, and especially the american all giant ex we tracked down one of the key members of the exxon research team from that time now retired and living in florida. the weather is unusually bad in a place better known for its sunshine. even here it seems. climate change is making its presence felt. martin hovered, a former professor and atmospheric physics now spends his days building muddle aircraft. but at new york university in the late seventy's, he was one of the 1st scientists to model climate change. i had enough evidence that i thought the greenhouse effect would begin to warm the atmosphere sometime in the late 19 eighties. in the 1990s. we would start to see the effect are based on our calculations. when we ran our models, we were able to show that a continued business as usual use of fossil fuels would lead to unprecedented climate change, at least unprecedented. for the period of time that humans lived on the earth. in 1981, exxon hired professor hoffa as a consultant alongside albert scientists. his special field was atmospheric projections and one of the most astounding of them dates from 1982. in a few words, can you tell us what it shows? well, the script basically shows the build up of 2 quantities. what is the concentration of atmospheric c o 2 and parts per 1000000 and the other is the average temperature increase of the earth. we had prepared this calculation for internal review and it was a calculation basically of how the earth would warm if we continued according to a scenario called business. as usual, the graph projected the increase of c o 2 in the atmosphere calculated in parts per 1000000, or pete the m on the right is the projected increase of the earth's temperature. remember these calculations from 1980 to the graph at later transpired full parts of a much larger, confidential filed on greenhouse gases, only recently revealed in the u. s. median. together. the documents prove that even 40 years ago, exxon you all about the risks related to the combustion of fossil fuel. to fully understand the significance, we showed them to swiss professor sonya so never rotney, one of the world's most respected climatology. give up on the 2nd half 60 cassiano gap on plenty to mid advantage of walker on the at the place. yeah, of course we'll touch on to the cat. solvent the pin. is it a plesk executor? la castle high san katie. i thought a commander and if i say, when i type in causal tyson to cut on his neck at the p. m skill, i miss you on that pretty or jimmy as your dad and also has also to it though she will. again, it's not bad to keep the previewed uncle shep upon to invent until its order under glare. now 2 people would sit south fed dancler and daniel had for jacqueline colanda. daniel, this in your night time for batch of that the cloud ponder claim professor never retina is one of the authors of a landmark report from the u. n's into governmental panel on climate change. the i p c. c. that 1st confirmed the increasingly devastating impact of human activity. now it's no longer a matter of projections, but the exact measurements of what's happening. so self evidently causal hassan to see whether don atmosphere says he did measure mask on an image or the pre a, a propeller for this. and if i called the way you call mansfield and i don at montana community on that tampa play gets on his no. for bpn lynette basil. when i visual no glass tick sensitive pin skis, i have a preview is false. good. sky of hey, arsic was sent. settlement there, sorry, nick. so harbor 5th. i me. i plan him. ah. in the us, the revelation of the exxon documents caused a political stall. adding to the growing determination of many democrats in congress to find out more. back in 2019, some of them had already begun to hold hearings into the oil industries hitherto secret research. do you swear were affirm that the testimony you're about to give is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. so help you god. dr. her for your, for she, the star witness. professor martin hoffer to the panties graph i to mourn in doctor have you worked with exxon was focused on the card in cycle and climate modeling. i had a slide up here and so 1982 is 7 years before i was even born. exxon accurately predicted that by this year, 2019 the earth would had a carbon dioxide concentration of $415.00 parts per 1000000 and a temperature increase of one degree celsius. dr. hoffer is that correct? we were excellent scientists. yes you are. yes, you are. so they knew they knew and i presume they knew what some of the consequences of that one degree celsius change would be. some of them, not all. absolutely. i would like to have an opportunity to discuss that if someone asks me. martin hoffer confirmed to us that his disturbing projections were passed on to exile management at the time. but in 1987, 6 years after being hired, he stopped collaborating with the oil giant, realizing that it wasn't going to be deflected from its main aim, making money. i was there because i thought that i could, i mean this was very naive of me. i thought that i could influence them to change their business plan. but you must understand that an exxon was producing quarterly earnings of tens of billions of dollars in the stockholders. we're making a lot of money. however, we're destroying the planet. the people will say, well, i won't be here in 20 or 30 years. was this cynicism or simple greed? perhaps we'll never know exactly why exxon and other old companies didn't listen to their scientists. what we do know now is that they launched a gigantic parallel campaign to undermine their science. could davis is the founder of the climate investigation center in washington, and he's assembled dozens of documents on this disastrous strategy. in private rooms, multiple companies, multiple industries are taking this on like a war. they really are fighting a very serious battle and there are war against science. it was a war against science. exactly. they, they were fighting the trend that people were starting to look at the health impacts of climate change. they were very upset that people were talking about whether extremes connecting it to climate change. anything that anything that raised the public awareness or raised political energy around this issue, they tried to kill it as fall back as 1988, they began sewing the 1st seeds of doubt. for example, in this internal memo, an exxon executive acknowledged that the greenhouse effect was a crucial issue, but recommended that in public, the company highlight uncertainties about climate studies. emphasize the uncertainty and scientific conclusions regarding the potential enhanced greenhouse effect. it would be a regular tactic of big oil in the years that followed. this is will exxon c e o said to a 1996 conference of his peers, leaders that the oil industry's largest companies. proponents of the global warming fare say that higher levels of greenhouse gases, especially c o. 2 are causing world temperatures, the rise and the burning fossil fuels. as the reason what scientific evidence remains, in conclusion, as to whether human activities affect the global climb. so there is simply no reason to take drastic action now. meanwhile, the oil jaunts were quietly taking action themselves. one of the things that's come to light is that at the same time exxon and other compass, they were actually fortifying their own facilities. they were trying to make their own oil rigs stronger to guard against more extreme weather events. we only know part of it where if the truth is, is fully told, we'll understand that more. but you know, if they were protecting themselves and leaving the rest of us unprotected, that's a terrible act. then in december 1997 came a fateful date for big oil in kyoto, a 192 countries, including the united states and many european nations, signed a landmark agreement committing themselves for the 1st time to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. the trend is clear. for our part, the united states remains firmly committed to a strong binding target that will reduce our own emissions by nearly 30 percent from what they would otherwise be a commitment as strong or stronger than any. we have heard here from any country for the american oil executives, kyoto, posed an existential threat, implying decreasing consumption of that product, and eventually the end of their business model. so they began questioning the basic legitimacy of climate science. that was the objective of this action plan produced in 1998 by the american petroleum institute. it was a blueprint for battle with 2 main targets public opinion and the media victory will be achieved when everidge citizens understand recognize uncertainties and climate science. recognition of uncertainties becomes part of the conventional wisdom media understands, recognizes uncertainties and climate science over several pages of what's now called the victory memo. they sent out that tactics and requirements for funding the launch of a major dis, information operation. within this campaign, they target politicians of course, but they're also targeting every, every one, all of us they're targeting the media media outlets trying to influence the way the issue is covered. and in some of these documents, they're even targeting school teachers. they put out their own lesson plans to try to get balance into the school systems. so they know that the concern about climate change starts very young and they want to manipulate children. they want teachers thinking about it. they want people debating whether this is a problem or not. eventually, the lobbying campaign would cost the fossil fuel industry hundreds of millions of dollars. but according to environmental activist richard wilds, it was to prove remote could be effective over many years. they succeeded with money, right? i mean, the number of ads that they run is just mind blowing. they started in the late eighty's early ninety's, bombarding the public with either of the notion that climate change is uncertain, that it may not happen. now. it won't be that bad. we can't survive without oil and gas. if we don't have oil and gas, you won't be able to drive a car. they won't be able to heat your home, both of which are patently untrue, obviously. but you know, with enough money and enough advertising, you can convince people have just about anything and that's what they've done. probably the worst thing is that they were deliberately manipulating facts to protect their profits. and they did not want to be blame. they did not want to be regulated, they did not want to be controlled. seeking a response to these allegations. we approached the american petroleum institute in washington, the u. s. oil and gas industries, main trade association. after numerous emails and requests for an interview, we finally received one short statement. the record of the past 2 decades demonstrates that the industry has achieved its goal of providing affordable, reliable american energy to you as consumers, while substantially reducing emissions and our environmental footprint. any suggestion to the contrary is false. the statement didn't answer any of our questions about the industries disinformation campaign, which appears still to be ongoing. it's certainly spread everywhere else, even to switzerland. here it's permeated public debate and influence the media, giving undo credence to those attempting to undermine scientifically established facts. professor martin rebecca, a at the university of no chatelle has been a climate ologist for 40 years. she's been on the receiving end of disinformation many times in her career, revert every them all set by the federal, soft cur, ah owner, sasha may or will go choir. kristen, so her chauffeur. make her own they are set down to to put on a plan bar. lee lee missouri case. um pause la palmer for customer 12 fasa de la. this is for my sure. she had the pleasure of christmas. gov. it said the name is short. february kim, avi. contacted almond, i'm on dos ish, revenue rex predicament. compared to her aunt. all she said on launch shady wing a pre illusion. alistar medina, amir eskoville, can the ticket delicate a more setting their best son padilla, caught her assess of while perpendicular caught her from the this she kiss or kisse or so. mia?
