Philippines braces for a potentially devastating volcanic eruption but nobody knows if it will come now in weeks or even tens of thousands uncertain of what to do. Im phil gal welcome to the program a major new report shows the worlds oceans continue to heat up last year when the war with the warmest theyve ever been and its still happening an International Team of experts is examined data compiled by Chinese Institute to work out changes in open Ocean Temperatures over decades they say this warming is already having a major impact on marine life and on the severity of storms cyclons and hurricanes. As our planet warms up due to the greenhouse effect the vast majority of trapped. Heat is absorbed by the oceans over 90 percent of it the oceans therefore provide a key buffer that helps keep temperatures on our planet stable but their capacity to absorb heat isnt endless and marine eco systems are suffering organisms like corals that cant flee the higher temperatures simply die back to back bleaching and catastrophic mortality has meant weve lost 50 percent of all corals on the Great Barrier reef in 2 years and this is meant weve needed entirely new ways to think about how can we fast track both resilience and recovery according to the new study sense 2010 the oceans have absorbed around 2286 tilia jewels of extra heat to compare thats over 400 times the energy used by the entire human race annually. And warmer oceans are having another major impact on our planets colder regions even a slight rise in water temperature causes glaciers to melt more rapidly from below billions of tons of ice have already disappeared from the ice caps in a nutshell warmer Ocean Temperatures mean rising sea levels the minister Marine Biodiversity and more powerful storms. I didnt run john from t. W. Environment can talk us through this new Research Welcome to the studio have budget dead seems a day doesnt go by without us hearing more bad news about the planets is there anything in these findings that we didnt already know oceans are getting warmer and were all essentially going to die were all doomed so one of the riches of this and i think they have to say we would like to say Better Things on the report sherry the 21000 with the warmest year on record and i mean this is becoming a regular occurrence 2928 in which the one that went to 17 and i mean the whole decade. For the same and one thing that is incredibly striking from the report of the scientists calculated the amount of Energy Thermal energy thats kind of been added to the oceans and said that its essentially the equivalent of having dropped 3600000000 atom bombs into the water into the water thats i dont understand what that means for i mean obviously lets just make sure we understand that obviously 3600000 bombs have not been dropped into the water and the destruction is not of that level but what it does show is the quantity of them and energy by which we have rated the oceans and i mean another study though if the told me the. Essentially just the jump from 2018 to 2019 in terms of ocean heat was roughly 44 times larger. Than the entire direct energy used by humans across the world and thats essentially because of this Greenhouse Gas effect so were burning these fossil fuels theyre releasing dust into the atmosphere and the that then trapping solar energy essentially so its not just the lump of coal that you thats when the oceans rise its the gases released from that trap other energy and so hes the thing right this is happening in the oceans this is what were talking about so if i dont live all macos if i dont live in a small Pacific Island why do i care so one thing all the scientists ive spoken to all the ocean scientists ive ever spoken to have said that this whole thing is really into connected so even if you live in a landlocked country and a far away from things i mean you depend on the global food supply presumably. If i dont know rising sea levels or from warmer water the effect Crop Production in a rice growing in the mekong basin then of course you have them affected by these things on a more sort of maybe direct of these coastal communities in particular and for countries which have a large amount of coastline. This woman water bleeds rising sea levels and that means that people on the. In the city of are exposed to more intense storms. Of the more frequent flooding in some areas and so directly people are affected by this ok so these are old phenomena that we are seeing so where is the good news the good news is that we know what to do about it essentially we need to both mitigate again and this is what scientists are telling us we need to mitigate against Global Warming so we need to reduce the amount of Greenhouse Gas emissions into the atmosphere reducing the warming effect on the planet and that will lower the state of the problem itself but weve already locked in a certain amount of warming because of the emissions weve already pumped out and pick from the oceans because theyre really slow to react to changes in the atmosphere and all that means that we also need to adopt against whats already happened and why is that to come because without sharpton steep cuts in Greenhouse Gas emissions we are for large amounts of woman. I didnt see that as i say that good news but if youve seen the wreckage of g. W. Environment thank you. Well the European Union has announced plans to dedicate a quarter of its budget to tackling Climate Change the European Investment plan will direct a trillion euros of the next decade to climate protection will be funded from the european budget and the private sector the a way is to make the block Carbon Neutral within the next 30 years. This is what the United States moon landing looked like when it comes to climate protection the European Commission is not shying away from drawing comparisons to that earth shattering event. We do not have all the answers yet today is the start of a journey. But this is europes man on the moon moment a green deal for the European Union is worse than a funnel lyons 1st major policy proposals since she took office at the end of 2019 her vision commits the e. U. To achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2015 until then emissions of Greenhouse Gases would have to be reduced stored or compensated. The e. U. Commission says it wants to mobilize a trillion euros from various sources over the next decade to make buildings more Energy Efficient and industry more environmentally friendly as regions all over europe transition away from coal. Funded lyon urges the e. U. To move quickly and take the lead in growing a green economy. But take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world european powers of triggered the dispute mechanism of the Iran Nuclear Deal and response to irans breach of the agreement and you Foreign Policy chief joseph says the has to bring tehran back into compliance but it could spell the end of the accord and the return to sanctions. Avalanches in pakistan controlled kashmir have killed at least 57 people rescue teams have been trying to recover buried victims lots of people missing after heavy rains triggered landslides in the valley. Protesters in lebanon have loads what theyre calling a week. To demand the resignations of the countrys leaders demonstrators set fire to tires in beirut and blocked roads the countrys facing its worst economic crisis for decades with its currency inducing more than 60 percent of its value activists blame government mismanagement and corruption. Police in germany conducted raids in berlin and 3 other locations in the early hours of tuesday in search of suspects for whats being described as a serious crime against the state investigators believe several locations were being considered for an attack including a synagogue and a shopping center. And german chancellor Angela Merkel has invited libyas warring parties to burlington on sunday to discuss efforts to broker peace early today libyan rebel leader ali for half left talks in moscow mediated by russia and turkey without signing a cease fire deal this by this fires out saraj who leads libyas u. N. Recognize government in tripoli it did sign after us forces have been trying to take jeff away for the past 9 months we get more on this from date of the chief Political Correspondent belinda crane welcome milind do more talks make sense when natalie for half the has just walked out. Well i think everyone would agree including berlin that it would be better to go into this International Conference on sunday with a firm ceasefire in place moscow is saying both warring parties did agree at least verbally to a ceasefire but the fact is that the primary objective on of this conference on sunday is not lets say to make peace then and there that would be impossible and its to get people talking and particularly to get the International Parties talking because this is essentially a proxy conflict that going on and that is going on both sides have International Support have to are in fact from a number of different sources ranging from france to the United Arab Emirates and russia the the u. N. To back to government to government on the other hand has support from turkey and the objective of the talks on sunday here in berlin is to get all those International Parties starting to talk to each other and thats a u. N. Objective and germany in fact is hosting this as part of this u. N. Process but that was to be about money especially if you know what is germanys interest in this conflict. Well covered Different Things germanys official function is in fact to be the host for a consultation process that is designed to flank the un efforts to get reconciliation and peace talks going in libya but beyond that germanys own Foreign Policy interest here is a twofold one germany has been saying now for some years that it wants to take a more active International Role it says it wants to do so militarily as well but thats always very very difficult here for this country with its 20th century history including world war 2 but what is clear is that germany does see itself in the role of an International Mediator weve seen it playing that role for example in the minsk process designed to try to get peace in east ukraine and its clear that many other countries do trust germany as a kind of an honest broker in such talks so i think thats whats behind the designation by the un of germany as the host for this consultation process melinda crane our chief Political Correspondent thank you i could happen at any time and what it does its likely to be extremely dangerous authorities in the philippines fear of all kinds of close to the capital bill is about to erupt the government raised the threat levels after the volcano began spewing ash and lava on sunday so far im certain 1000 people have fled but nearly half a 1000000 have chosen to stay in the danger zone. Tagaytay city is a ghost town. Ash from the volcano is everywhere. Even without a major eruption residents have already been hit hard. The ash from the volcano traveled with the wind and unfortunately it blew in our direction it didnt just affect us physically but also our livelihood our business have to close down but it will take a while to clean up and i feel bad for the workers especially those who rely on a business to support themselves. Some are already attempting a cleanup but the filipino authorities a clear things could still get much worse the not the condition of the volcano remains at alert level for that means a hazardous explosive eruption could take place in a timeframe of hours to days. So. This is what the authorities are afraid of as well as the potential danger from lover and explosive eruption could cause part of the volcano to collapse into the lake triggering a tsunami. With no certainty over when disaster could strike residents and their livelihoods are left in them but. Just on to remind you of our top stories Scientists Say the oceans continued to eat up the last year making the hottest theyve ever been i say this woman is already having a minor impact on the marine life and on the severity of storms like hundreds of particles. Rando forces in the philippines are warning that a volcano near the capital could erupt at any time the tiled volcano about 60 kilometers south of manila the spearing ashen law forcing thousands to flee.
