The tree constantia from the World Wildlife fund took us out to sea the disappearing place in. The alps a bore me more than twice as fast as the rest of europe over some of it was unprecedented drought. Yeah thats really special for us to farmers dont notice to show yet. The grass growing stage there is a shortage. They actually started to slaughter their cows much earlier. After it does so theyre really dry summer i can feel a renewed sense of urgency especially also because the farmers now its really accept that they are directly affected by it. 3 hours from superrich we come to what used to be the start of the giant motor rochdale ac. To be thought to traffic at 100 think 3 years place they came up all the way to. All the way to the station near. Me since then its retreated by 3 kilometers the other with factories and 600 metres of that in just the past decade. I mean theyre building this ancient place here is expected to disappear entirely within a lot of time. So all the places in switzerland receive protections shared by end of the century most of them build disappear completely on the few will remain in the very top of mountains. The changing climate is already pushing the connally. Many ski fields are now bare until after christmas. This is the situation we face is not going to last 10 years said couple a translator they have to do a lot of establishing to prepare all dragged out here slopes. Even at higher altitudes ski resorts are laying giant insulation sheets over places to preserve snow. From may to october more or less they cover it like that and they remove it in october and start to ski again. They cover iglesias with blankets trying to stop the building while its actually just slowing down the process so its not a solution its. To fight the symptoms of Climate Change. We have been doing to engineering now for many many decades in actually burning so much fossil fuel and altering the climate by humankind that we have to look now in a similar scaling to solutions to the problem. As we are here some believe the real added to Climate Change is 20 kilometers up their next stop will be scientists who dont want to put blankets on places they want to blanket the atmosphere. Unalloyed holes of Harvard University research is theyre looking at just how practical and dangerous geo engineering. Saying here we have one of the big pieces of test equipment that we use. In preparation for putting instruments into the stratosphere engineering professor frank is preparing for the 1st test Mission Later this year. Ok and so we can put instruments into the vacuum turn and then we can simulate the stratospheric pressure so you have a 20 kilometers. Belt use a High Altitude balloon to scatter the sun reflecting aerosols across the upper atmosphere. Right now theyre fine tuning equipment to measure the effect. Without the spice race in a way it does on a much smaller scale. They fly up into the stratosphere high above us the white board theory is that tons of tiny sulfur particles delivered by specially modified planes would lower the earths temperature. Would result in cooling the planet. Its what happened naturally in 991 after the philippines mount pinatubo but i know. And this gas then reacts in the stratosphere with accidents and turns into a soft euro acid and for the few years after mount pinatubo the temperature was noticeably lower and it cooled down the planet that was one effect that he got from what degree it was you know it was probably the range of about half a degree celsius. Trouble is a quick fix like that could have side effects and what was also apparent after mount pinatubo and other volcanic eruption is that these particles in the end reduce the amount of ozone in the stratosphere so you know weve been trying to do a lot to actually fix the boat on land and here you now have the idea of introducing something that could destroy it again. And its not just those risks the bank this project controversial its the fear held by many of us saw it as themselves that just the suggestion of a magic bullet gives governments an excuse to keep pumping up a missions. So good youve been running the numbers on this i mean is it economically feasible part of the problem is just how much cheaper these geo engineering would be than switching to a new city if anything is to chief economist there is the projects executive director its so cheap that to be talking about single digit billions of dollars to potentially influence entire planets climate now if i was running a fossil fuel corporation abhi thinking great this can solve the problem and we can keep digging up coal and frankly thats the problem right so i guess you might consider that to the vested interest not in fact be very. In Something Like this as you know yet another excuse not to cut scene to. Very often compare stratospheric drink to pain killers this does not fix the problem right it does nothing about see what to do 1st of all. Were just reducing symptoms and then human nature can kick in and say well you know its hard to deal with changing the Energy Infrastructure which is very true its a huge problem so in the end any decision will always have to be based on imperfect knowledge do you ever feel like this is playing god it is theres a huge amount of hubris in this idea of saying wow oh weve caused a problem lets fix the problem and i know how to do this were going to do this and we know exactly whats going to happen to the whole planet yes it has a lot of that its actually quite unsettling and quite frankly makes me quite anxious. These can provide a list of possibilities whatever geo engineering can achieve the i. P. C. C. Says the most carbon intensive fuel should still be phased out by 2050 at our next stop well see how the industry is fighting back because the tools its a mission to 40 percent. Who said is a city built on carbon. Mining fossil fuels is as much a part of texan culture as raising cattle or boots good. But these days big energy is trying to sidestep demands to cut production. Its response is a much touted technology to cut the carbon footprint. For today were heading out to texas is the biggest pal plant its a pioneer of what the industry likes to call playing call. This is patron no. Its a coal fired generation with a 1000000000. 00 absorption to our unit a that last that after the coal is burned be emissions of pumped through it and solvent collects much of the c o 2 before it hits the atmosphere. Its early days to get excited. The tower captures carbon from just one of the complexes 10 generating units. Whats more it doesnt actually reduce emissions over all. The captured carbon is pumped in liquid form enjoy the oil field. They put c o 2 in an oil field and you get more oil out right as Company Spokesman david knox explains it breaks up stubborn deposits so they can extract more oil but he. Too has a tendency it bonds with oil and when it launched it makes it look prettier and when its slippery or it comes off of the rock that last bit of oil in there but if you capturing c o 2 but to get more oil out to actually increasing the amount of c o 2 overall it would if we were increasing the amount of oil thats being used but we dont actually have any impact on the amount of oil thats being used the oil is the same amount being used were just increasing the Domestic Production and we dont have to import as much oil from foreign countries. The industry is looking at other options like superheating coal that still produces a students without coal stove sits. This unit said the small one in canada of the only ones that coal fired plants using Carbon Capture the personally. There is such a thing as clean coal but it is only that these 2 years. The economics are very challenging when will there be another one bill im not good at predicting the future but we now know that we can build one on time on budget. The uncertainty hasnt stopped politicians insisting the industry is sight. We have and the war on beautiful will lean coal. Even global to some time consulted to begin a g. Is skeptical clean coal has been a rush for very many years it would be wonderful if you could actually have all the benefits of the cheapest fossil fuel and cut the Carbon Emissions but it turns out its fairly expensive to do on the on the coal fired power plant that is actually takes out some of the energy that you would otherwise produce so it has real cost and of course you also have to store it securely and theres been a lots of conversations about that weve not really seen it right. And we certainly havent seen it running cheaply so again its one of the things that we should investigate but were not ready to do it any time soon. Back in copenhagen ordinary citizens continue to do their bit for the virus. Dr lobel doubts his compadre its whatever except the real cost of the bad thing fossil fuels. Most people are not content to only be able to charge their phones or have have their t. V. s running or indeed their operating terrorists and and hospitals running when the sun is shining and when the sun is not shining the cost from solar panels is infinite and likewise with with Wind Turbines when the wind is not blowing. Its not true this idea that when the suns not shining the winds not blowing were not getting that energy because when the sun is shining in the wind is blowing you can charge batteries and so the frontier is battery technology. No matter how fast the world switches to Renewable Energy the age of untested high risk of geo engineering could soon be a bonus. We dont get there by go youre told for better or for worse geo engineering is part of the mix Going Forward because we cannot get to where we need to be by conservation alone. He could be the last throw the dice to save the planet. After decades of governments ignoring dial warnings simply going green may not be galley. Chief office a photo of the china tea for many. And big profits for a few the disc tourists flood europes must see destination tensions are rising. With local communities paying a heavy price for popularity. Power asks what are the true economic and environmental costs europes tourism overload on 0. Across the United States indigenous families are searching for their loved ones for relatives of people who go missing finding closure is often impossible people are meeting here to raise money for the search efforts of the young woman advocates and family members have started to raise awareness about the high rates of violence that disproportionately impact indigenous communities most Tribal Police departments are understaffed and under resourced another factor is that tribes dont have jurisdiction over nonnative americans for all crimes there but a lot of concerns of the federal agencies dont respond that they dont take these crimes seriously a lack of evidence is the main reason federal officials give for declining to prosecute crimes on reservations that shouldnt be the end of the discussion. There should be then a ok lets see what went wrong in this case why the is no evidence or why the evidence isnt good enough and make sure that doesnt happen again.

There are warnings about situation in yemen after weeks of fuel shortages the countrys own minister is blaming the Saudi Led Coalition for imposing restrictions on fuel tankers the Ministry Says one tanker was allowed in 2 weeks ago but only provided fuel for 5 days Officials Say the shortage is affecting everyday life. Gotten lucky when it does the ban on fuel imports has brought life to an your standstill it is paralyzed hospitals factories and other vital institutions that are related to Public Service this is an unlawful ban of a commodity that does not represent any harm to the Saudi Led Coalition but its restriction impacts everyday life it makes ordinary peoples lives even harder. Jordans government says its reached a paid deal with the Teachers Union to end a one month strike the protest by thousands of teachers was the longest Public Sector strike in the countrys history that affected more than one point 5000000. 00 students in Public Schools the deal will raise teachers allowances from 35 to 60 percent from next year the government says the move will strain the countrys heavily indebted finances in ecuador protesters took to the streets for a 3rd day demonstrating against cuts to fuel subsidies that blocked roads and put up barricades in the capital spite the unrest president marino says he has no plans to reverse his decision to scrap the subsidies he said he wont bow to those he called criminals only 370 people have been arrested during protests.

Those are the headlines the news continues on aljazeera after Jamal Khashoggi murder in a saudi consulate stage and thats a watching i found. The bodies. Back then cut it into pieces to be finished with the sector fishel animal iran has the right. Were. Back again are trying to find out what. Saudi arabia from farmers are determinative on her show. She is from up. Some form of closure foreign minister saying this was all a terrible and the execution of Jamal Khashoggi your frequent critic of the shots on the regime and the fied of the saudi consulate. Trying to. Hell have josh if she was a premeditated foreigner monday the 1st of october 28th. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary in the belgrade forest in the northwest of the took a city of istanbul. It was the start of the week so there were only a few visitors. Just before sunset surveillance cameras picked up a car belonging to the consulate of saudi arabia in istanbul it passed through a security gate before moving through the forest it would later emerge in the turkish outs about newspaper that it was carrying the saudi military attache. Xeni what took his intelligence would call a surveillance mission. According to. Elma xeni had returned to istanbul from jeddah that day with a deadly plan. To eliminate the saudi journalist jimbo showed. A little you know signal with i dont we i dont want to believe you were the one. Whatever that was on the 21st of june 27th teen mohamed bin selma was made crown prince of saudi arabia. 2 weeks later a major diplomatic crisis blew up in the gulf between saudi arabia and 3 of its allies and qatar. Also that june another writer close to be in selma on advised either to take part in the campaign against qatar or to leave the country. Chose to leave saudi arabia he flew from jeddah via london to the United States. The pressure increased i believe into 14 or to 15 when he was writing minister of information decided to publish the letter from writing and i think you found that very insulting you should remember the germans banned from tweeting and the i think article white. Because hes done a lot of speaking of. Weve met the governor and. The concept of the cross and the freedom of conciliation and we did what. I think 107 money is there in. Version 213 no he just has to do it right i showed you had studied journalism at Indiana State University in the early eightys and worked for the saudi diplomat took feisal while he was ambassador to the u. S. I show shes for children also had us nationality isnt this some. More but its the election guarantee before its there. All those number targets you know this is the arctic. Leader length all of a bath or you are you see there are. Probably mixture of us live without the formulation whats to. Do isnt very happy he was worried he one time told me his 2 sons complained to him that they are held hostage because of him they couldnt travel since they were both bankers and their work requires them to travel and they could not leave the kingdom their passports were confiscated and they were blaming him and that really caused lots of guilt. He told me he felt guilty that is causing the. Stress and suffering. In august 27th seen a show she tweeted for the 1st time from his self exile in the us i returned to writing and tweeting grateful to his highness the minister of information for his kind efforts gratitude and loyalty to the royal crown prince no free pain is broken and no tweeter is silence under his reign. The tweet seemed confusing and contradictory and posed questions about his relationship with his native country. The saudi authorities had banned him from writing in a phone call from an adviser to the royal court so doubt qahtani. Later referred to this ban in a b. B. C. Interview shouted be a little. Low probability that it. Must be a real hard if you will live any longer be. In september 27th teen a show she started writing for the Washington Post. This enabled him to communicate with a far wider audience and sphere of influence. For the saudis i think this was the scariest thing the guy writes for a paper thats already all over the world that are driven by this is the makers in the us. Also my feminist in mind enough to fight a famine ecofin in them for many many men do a lot of the thought. That i am the mother wasnt the most because a more. By this time she wanted to legalize his status in the us and in december 2017 was granted political asylum that offered him a degree of stability and he began to create a network between washington is down bull london and other World Capital khalid elsa fori took the producers of this program to his friend jamals apartment in Tysons Corner virginia. They managed to contact a show she saw on the dollar but the call led nowhere. As we speak today there are intellectuals under notice jill no nobody will dare to speak and criticize. Saudi intelligence was closely monitoring her show she and his movements and briefing the new crown prince and heir to the throne of the horn of the world. I mean. The saudis tried to tempt the journalist to return a source close to her show she said that the adviser to the roll call. Contacted him twice by phone. He allegedly said that mohammed bin selma and trusted her implicitly and that the doors of the rule court were open to him whenever he chose to return. The same source said that the saudi government maintained communication with her. And made him several offers including managing a prominent saudi funded media network. Has. Been serving. The Saudi Embassy in washington. And i think his knowledge of the added credibility as a journalist when he spoke out. For show she kept up his criticism of bin salmond in the Washington Post demanded spoke to me through this before because. He is working with friends to establish a foundation for democracy in the art of war promoting backed out of democracy amongst those who. Also think some form of society consideration
