china's college graduates to worry about their future. and could liquefied natural gas be the solution to the global energy crisis. russians invasion of ukraine has triggered an energy crisis, especially in europe. for decades, many e u. member states came to depend on cheap natural gas from russia. but moscow has throttled gas exports. a desperate search for new providers as on and africa has large gas deposits. billions and profit ard stake by 2030 germany hopes to obtain 10000000 tons of liquefied natural gas from senegal alone. but we already know that all fossil fuel extraction comes at a high human and environmental cost. is the energy crisis making us forget the climate crisis. we cook with heat with it, generate electricity with it, and also save the climate with its natural gas. it's versatile and cleaner than other fuels. so it's really become the poster child of politicians, something that we don't have to choose between our environment and our economy. and fossil fuel companies, the cleanest burning fossil fuel. the world needs fuels that are abundant, affordable, and lower carbon fuels. like not got the thoughts hang on a minute. should we really trust the fossil fuel industry that's responsible for half of all industrial greenhouse gas emissions since the industrial revolution to suddenly do what's best for the planet? i'm probably not. so let's drill down and see how environmentally sustainable natural gas really is. oh, broadly speaking, natural gas is a mix of different hydrocarbons, mainly methane. it's found in rock formations deep below the earth's surface where it formed from the remains of plants and animals over millions of years. we develop techniques to extract it from there and have done so for decades. and global output has constantly gone up ever since in the early 2, thousands refined processes like fracking allowed companies to access previously untapped reserves, especially in the west, the world's biggest gas producer. this spec to real boom, and behind this boom, there was one big promise that natural gas could clean up the power sector. if you burn gas, natural gas, that is meantime, ah, you get half the c o 2 emissions of burning co. this is james henderson who leads the gas research program at oxford university. so natural gas still emits c o 2 when burned. it's not entirely clean, but it's cleaner than it's alternatives like coal, well generating the same amount of energy. and so the 1st step for many countries is to switch away randasia fuels, such as co, particularly in pa generation and move to gas. you can imagine this like switching a cold stove for a gas heat up just on a much bigger scale. so instead of building a new coal power plant, build a gas power plant or retrofit a coal power plant to run on gas, kind of like the industry is showing up here. so as a lot of clean, natural gas became suddenly available, it turned into more than just the fuel. it was now a bridge fuel making power, our economy with less of the carbon pollution that causes climate change. the thinking was this gas could be the bridge between fossil fuel power, past and future power by renewables. up until today, politicians and the industry pushing this narrative. and that's because it works in this sector in the us. typically, gas has been a boon for the climate knuckle naya is a gas market. the analyst research fun, bloomberg, and yet if you work a lot, us carbon emissions from the power back there from 2000 to 2020. the u. s. is probably in the leads in terms of the carbon to carbonite power and much of that can be attributed to the use of natural gas. it's no surprise spend that much of the western world like the u. k. and the you have been following similar strategies . and there's great potential for natural gas elsewhere. if you move to a country like china or india, black coal plays a huge role in the energy economy. they haven't really gone through that tells you gotta switch yet. gosh, that can grapple play a role as i feel like is a bridge view to a detailed feature. but all that is only half the story because there's one big problem with gas that those in favor of it don't like to talk about so much. ready simply speaking, once gas gets extracted from the ground, it goes into a refinery west process. ready from that, it's distributed usually via pipelines to power stations, homes or businesses. or it gets cooled down and turns into l. n. g liquefied natural gas, and then shipped around the world. and at every single one of these steps me thing can escape into the atmosphere on me. fain is a greenhouse gas. that's 80 times more powerful and warming the planet than c o 2 over a 20 period. it's invisible. that's with the help of satellites or very expensive special cameras. it's possible to spotted move, climate change is happening. and natural gas, which is by the way, also called fossil gas, ultimately is a fossil fuel that will make it worse. the science is clear on this. if we want to avoid catastrophic global warming, we need to be reducing our use of gas drastically. not keep expanding it. in countries that still use a lot of coal, particularly in asia, switching to gas can still save emissions. but on a global scale, we need to start phasing it out. that switch from tulsa, gas can be one of the initial stages towards reducing emissions. but of course, you know, ultimately as and when that switch has happened, gas then becomes the bottle. it becomes the hydrocarbon that emits c o 2 when burned in facts. if gas use were to continue to grow as plans, it would be completely out of line with our aim to limit global warming to $1.00 degrees, according to a recent un report. plus every bit of infrastructure we build now will lock in gas use long into the future. new instructor, things like power, plant, or elegy, journals. i have a typical lifetime of 30 years. this is avi robbie humor research us how to lower emissions in the energy sector. so when you build a plan, right valley plate, 22 ah, it's operational light, then we'll extend to 2015. and the question is, you know, we do need natural gas. now we are using natural gas now. like will that natural gas and will danny constructor be useful? 30 years from now. but despite all these warnings, it seems to be pretty much business as usual. a recent investigation by the guardian revealed that oil and gas companies have plans to massively expand that production. again, we put this to the gas industry. the i o g p said using gas to replace coal is a no brainer. and that it's the job of energy companies to meet demand and the job of governments to change that demand. the agent, you said that gas is critical for an achievable, affordable, sustainable, and secure the carbon ization of the global energy system. they also respectfully disagree that there's no room for more natural gas. that's the thing that the gas industry completely overlooks. this is lauren stockman, who had the research at oil change international, a climate efficacy group that they're, they're locked into this kind of fantasy that their fossil fuel is the one m is okay and, and, and can grow and, and still has room for growth. and that the others will, will, you know, carry the burden of, of getting us to, to our missions goals. and there's really not a credible climate scenario in which gas can grow. but that really begs the question, if we need to use less gas, what should we use instead? well, most importantly, we should tap cleaner energy sources like wind and solar, which are by and large, also cheaper. however, we do it, we need to cross the gas bridge sooner rather than later because that's the thing with bridges. they have a beginning and an end ah, 2 children with one giant problem. and we really appreciate a delay for you. and how will climate change affect us and our children learn more and d, w dot com slash water. most people need a john to be able to afford a roof over their head to buy food, and to take part in social activities. but millions don't have one the u. n. international labor organization, or i l. o reports that global unemployment reached 207000000 and 2022, far higher than the pre pandemic level. mm. young people are especially hard hit. the io estimates that about 73000000 young adults had no job in 2020 to 6000000 more than in 20. 19 in china. about one in every 5 young adults is jobless. a consequence of the government's drastic 0 cove at policy and a job market that's growing too slowly for college graduates. friday evening in beijing tongue tongue is in his element. the home brewed beer is his boss, trademark. the people who come here one time out from the daily grind. oh, what's the total? hello joe, for what we want to create a place that's just like the living room in our house. a place to welcome friends, quoting for the oil carolina. solidarity in hard times is the motto here, jobs were young, people are scarce at the moment of to, for decades of rapid growth. the economy is faltering in almost all sectors. the unemployment rate for those age 24. and under is that an all time high officially? around 19 percent, many overqualified. this is what tongue tongues ball often looked like in the summer staff with no customers to serve. the trained lawyer was only allowed to sell

improve his chances with another degree certain galway like after all, when i see how the number of advertise jobs has dropped in all fields out for. i mean, i'm sure many of us actually want to go to work after we finish our bachelor's degrees . but because there are no jobs, we keep on studying. the belief that only those his study a lot will find a job is deeply anchored in society. yet. the number of those who continue on to higher education has risen sharply in recent decades. in 2010, only 24 percent of school leavers went to university each year. now it's about 58 percent. but china now has too many highly qualified graduates and not enough jobs at the mux plank institute in hannah, profess it's young. b o is researching china's young people. they live in a vicious circle of competition. in china, a word has even been coin to describe the state, radical exploitative competition. it basically means they're the, you're put the more and the more effort and the leslie and it's a very tiring process. but the ways that no real meaning, and often it referred to a situation that you are forced in a pressurized to participate in competition or without to end this end the

think many of them feel large to say well, to add up how he thinks, but it depends on how you deal with it, or do the pa, hi, an antagonist for decades steady growth gave. i won a sense of opportunity and hope. but now the latest gloomy economic figures are hitting the younger generation with full force in the us. there are plenty of job openings right now, but businesses are having a hard time finding workers. many employees quit during the pandemic in the hope of finding a better job. and the prospects are good, as there were around 10000000 job openings in the us and october 2022. the current jobless rate is 3.7 percent. most jobs are in the service sector, including restaurants or in healthcare truck drivers are especially sought after all road dusky way, if you wanted to rub up

retirement, but ben, his former boss, found him looking for help. he was down a driver and couldn't find a replacement. robert heated the call after his wife died, he was lonely. he was at a low point when his boss called it seemed like fate empty, spending a lot of time at all during the fall, but i needed to get out of my house. and then i found when i went back to work, that it gave me of such a purpose since then he's been driving along america's highways sometimes for days at a time. and he's no exception. more than one point. 5000000 american retirees. we entered the workforce in the past year alone. they fill a huge hole right now there are 2 positions open for every job seeker. in the transport sector, the need for personnel is so great that logistics companies are enticing drivers from 6 figure salaries. robert bless and get $300.00 a day, but it's not just about the money. my brother asks me all the time. aren't you sick of driving a so not a lot of john my whole life. how can i stop now? but no. everyone's like him to changes from los angeles was a flight attendant for 40 years, but off to retirement, she couldn't afford to fly any more. like many americans, she depends on a pension, which is financed by shares and the stock market. now the market is low, her pension is worth less, portfolios have diminished considerably. and that does concern. people like me, retirees, because that's the money that we planned on leaving on. recently the 67 year old started working again in a boutique, at an hourly wage, much less than she's used to. she only needs to work part time, but that could change if a person had to depend on that part time job to supplement their income. because of the minimum wage, they probably would have to work quite a few days a week and you know, so at that point dell, it becomes a a full time job. not just part time. like a lot of retirees with like she says she's fairing better than many here. then her lunch break is over and it's time to go back to work. through but blend receives a pension of $2800.00 a month work. he has savings to still he can use the extra income. he's just invested $10000.00 in new windows and a new garage door. the fireplace is next. his house is paid for, but he still has occasional expenses, such as installing new heating in good months, he can double his pension by working for the for the air handle. its just a was jaya in his kitchen. he keeps a calendar where he notes his personal commitments, such as doctors appointments, where joe already takes a picture of the page and sends it to the transport company, which plans his tours according to his calendar. know i said every day of school there you know, was the best thing about working. now i'm working on my terms. i'm working when i'm available. not having to go in every day to the office or, you know, to the trucking company and, you know, work in 65 hours a week even spends his free time driving going on motorcycle tools to places around the world. he made it all the way to new zealand. another reason why he could use the money i might been driving a tractor trailer for close to 40 years. probably 3000000 miles. i can't tell you how many miles i ever motorcycles or even cars and pickup trucks. i just like to move robert bluff and wants to work until he's 80 and then fulfill a lifelong dream. to cross dolemite in italy again, my

happy with them. he was to click on that process. oh yeah. so now you know me where i live and work. oh, as you can see, it's beautiful here. i urge all of our to discover lagrano for yourselves, and i think it's worth it because that is that poor liam. i have to go to work now, but i'll wait for you and lagrano. see you thank you, bye. and that's all from us at global 3000 this week. thanks for
