Extinction and legend nation by no means missed out on a brain creasing dangerous turn. Made. This is due to be a news live from berlin a matter of life or death the u. N. Secretary general on talking to terrorists says the world is not moving fast enough to prevent catastrophic Climate Change calling efforts so far way off course well have the very latest from the u. N. Climate conference in poland also coming up. A surprise announcement from tops our dont stay says it is withdrawing from the Opec Oil Cartel its been
a member of that organization for nearly six decades so whats behind the move. Boston taking matters into their own hands the Indian Government is not doing and so local residents have started cleaning up the beaches and the streets of the city of mumbai themselves. Im brian thomas thanks so much for being with us the u. N. Secretary general says the world is way off course in the fight against Climate Change and turning to terrorist was speaking from the polish city of kut to reach a where the most important talks on Global Warming in new years are now underway the conference officially opened today it airs told delegates that mankind must drastically reduce its Greenhouse Gas emissions to avert runaway Global Warming for
the next two weeks the delegates will be discussing how to implement the twenty fifteen paris agreement. Well the u. N. Secretary general opened that conference with an urgent warning we are in deep trouble with Climate ChangeClimate Change is running faster than we. And we much kept up sooner rather than later be forty two years too late. For many people regions even countries this is already a matter of life or death and this meeting is the most important gathering on Climate Change since the bears agreement was signed if these are two overstates the urgency of our situation a matter of life where death correspondent irene bunyans for reasons i think ought to be free conference for as i read is this the make or break session for action onClimate Change that so many are calling it. In the meeting is essential for Climate Action not that global level so a few years ago climate the theres a great keeping Global Warming there to think about. But this year they have to decide how they will actually achieve that goal the result of this meeting should be the socalled rule book i set the guidelines so in countries how they should monitor their Greenhouse Gas emissions how to report on their climate efforts but then Nothing Port On Topic will be Climate Finance because industrialized countries pledged to look a One Hundred Billion u. S. Dollars a year to help work on to its cope with Climate Change but it remains unknown how they will actually manage to look at that money now in the run up to this conference a number of studies were released indicating a critical point is about to be reached when it comes to Greenhouse Gas emissions can you fill us in where are we right now. Well the situation doesnt look
very well right now just recently the United NationsEnvironment Program published a Report Saying that there is a huge gap between where we should be and where we are actually in regard of c o two emissions so we should. Force if we want to reach that by recycling and goals by twenty thirty otherwise we may end up having three point two degrees above playing by the end of the century so you know President Trump has of course pulled out of the paris accords is taking United States out without the u. S. Is it even possible for the world to meet the c o two reduction goals of the been laid down in the paris accord. Well its important to remember that despite. Of pulling out from the parties have agreement these one take one really happened until twenty twenty twenty twenty things may have changed on
the other hand other countries are increasing their time and im vision as well as local actors and the Civil Society the Civil Society isnt giving us and they will take the lead in their fight against Climate Change so i think around here we can feel the optimism that we are still on track to reach the parasite remained despite their with regard from. Us resource thanks very much. Markets here now and as the world in kind of a she focuses on Climate Change theres been some surprises of the cartel that produces so very much of the fossil fuels we use in our cars and the fuel our economy well i dont not so much as a price the first one but certainly in use of brine the price of oil has surged after russia and saudi arabia agreed to reduce output as part of an effort to curb oversupply in a separate development and that really is a Surprise Cutoff has announced its leaving the worlds most Important Group of all producing nations after almost six decades the countrys Energy Minister says
the decision will enable qatar to move more on focus more on developing its exports of Liquefied Natural Gas but some analysts believe that the move could be political. As far as break ups go this one was abrupt and seemingly Out Of The Blue heres how could tars Energy Minister delivered the news that his countrys fifty seven Year Membership of the worlds most Important Group of Oil Producing nations was coming to an end the state of qatar has decided to withdraw its membership from the organization of Petroleum Exporting countries effective january twenty ninth teen this decision was communicated to operate this morning opec is made up of fifteen countries it was founded in One Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty with the goal of helping members benefit from a steady rise in oil prices so just how big a role does it play globally not present opec nations hold almost eighty two
percent of the worlds reserves qatar by itself controls one point seven percent of the stockpile it might not sound significant but for a country of just two point Seven Million it punches above its waist. The decision to withdraw from opec will enable the country to increase production outside of the cartels constraints but its also being read as a slight to the Group Leading members saudi arabia which last year instigated a boycott of qatar accusing us of supporting terrorists qatars Energy Minister denies theres a political motive that has nothing to do with the book is ok. If you look at the. Status of the opec if any country wants to withdraw. What it has to do is basically put in writing its request or its decision to withdraw and it basically was in the next calendar year qatar is decision to leave opec may not cause major
damage to the group but it certainly calls into question its reputation for pushing shared economic interests above politics and for more on the qataris move to pull out of opec im joined by spencer welcome Director Oil Markets and downstream energy at i. H. S. Market in london good to have you with us of course qatar is not a Major Oil Producer we just heard that in our report but does its exit from opec have any impact on the cartel itself its inevitable that it will have some impact although i think that impact is relatively small qatar produces around Six Hundred ThousandBarrels Per Day of oil opec produces around thirty to Forty MillionBarrels Per Day so so in terms of Production Qatar is a small part of opec so i small impact but not
a Significant Impact but in terms of Reputation Image or unity. Again maybe a little bit but a couple of years ago indonesia decided to withdraw and then decides to come back come back in again i think its i think its logical what qatar is doing their priorities on gas thats not thats not something new that has been like that for a few years so Oil Production is not their main area of focus and so i guess theyre saying they dont need to be part of of opec they they want to just carry on producing what they camp of focusing on on developing more gas youve mentioned gas i mean liquid natural gas of course that is where catalyst already the world leader when it comes to exports how much of the potential is there well
some sort of gas is a growing markets the worlds demand for gas is going up the worlds demand for oil is going up as well but gas demand is rising faster gas is seen as a cleaner fuel and therefore the medium term future of gas is looks better im more optimistic than the oil its almost inevitable that the worlds demand for oil will peak the question is is when is that going to be certainly if theres going to be a peak in gas demand it will be a long time further into the future than any peak in oil demand right Spencer Welch there from h s a market in london thank you so much thank you. More business coming up later but first brian has got some well hopeful developments for the people of yemen in that way monaco around says it will be supporting the peace talks aimed at ending the conflict in yemen those talks could
