The Politics of Climate Change
Ойын-сауық
The World Health Organisation puts the number of deaths from climate change at 250,000 by 2050.
We travel the world to see how the devastation wrought by droughts, wildfires, floods and catastrophic rains - all the direct results of climate change - are a political problem, and require political solutions. From the outback of Australia, to the Pakistani Himalayas and Brazilian Amazon, this series takes us to the front line of the approaching disaster.
Along the way, we meet people and activists trying to find ways to tackle the biggest issue of the 21st century.
A combination of bad policies and political apathy is speeding up climate change. Have we reached the tipping point? Can it be reversed?
00:00 Australia's Coal Conundrum
Against the backdrop of dwindling water resources, ravaging bushfires and high unemployment, a controversial new mine set to be built in Central Queensland is being met with controversy and passionate resistance. Further mining activities promise to exacerbate the region’s already dwindling water resources while raising Australia’s contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. The perceived silver lining in the building of the controversial Carmichael Mine is the promise of job creation. But, at what cost?
50:41 Brazil's Amazonian Battle
Deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon increased 30% since Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro came to power. More than 120,000 square kilometers of the Amazon forest have been destroyed: an area a fifth the size of Wales in the last 10 years. It’s displaced around 400 indigenous groups but has also decimated a vast store of carbon that is vital for tackling climate change. The jungles produce 20% of the world’s oxygen. We go on an investigative journey to reveal the gold rush pushing communities over the edge. Along the way, we meet the Mundurukku aboriginal tribes and activists fighting to stop the destruction of Amazon jungles. We also meet activists seeking solutions for a sustainable lifestyle.
01:37:16 Pakistan's Himalayan Meltdown
The word Himalaya means House of Snow, and is the second-largest icecap outside the polar regions. But it is melting at the fastest rate in human history. One-third of the Himalayan glaciers are projected to disappear by the end of this century due to climate change, threatening the supply of water to nearly 2 billion people across South Asia. We discover how water became a major flash point between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, due to the Siachen glacier conflict, and go undercover to observe the proliferation of water thieves in Karachi. We also examine the impact of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s billion tree tsunami, Pakistan’s bold bid to mitigate worsening climate change.

درود در قسمت ترجمه خودکار قبلاً زبان فارسی در لیست ترجمه خودکار قابل استفاده بود ، ولی در برنامه‌های جدید این کانال زبان فارسی رو از لیست ترجمه خودکار حذف گردیده است. لطفاً زبان فارسی رو هم اضافه کنید تا بهتر متوجه موضوع فیلم بشویم ، چون الان همه ما در مشکلات ایجاد شده توسط قدرت ها و دست های پشت پرده درگیر شده ایم.

second wave corporate colonialism. Adani's webpage is a glossy front. These protesters set the bar for all of us. Even commiting to half of the action they are making is a big deal. hats off.

solar is just a piece of the puzzle - corporate systems monocroping energy the same way they've monocropped our food systems. Interesting decision to build massive solar farms in an area prone to intense wildfires (ash deposition).wonder how that might go into the not too distant future. Who are implementing these practices? What consultants are suggesting these practices? Why is there so little variation in approach?

I suppose they'll just tap into the nonexistant aquifers (they depleted during construction and in other activities) to spray down the 500 hectares of panels.... And these guys have ivy league economists and engineers - its disgraceful.

You can believe in climate change and also understand that chem trails are not a thing if you’re just a little bit wise. I feel as though it’s those who don’t believe in climate change who believe in chem trails.. likely not far off believing in flat earth too. I guess this is what happens when people have traditionally believed in religion.. now it’s social media nonsense
