1:14
welcome to your to quiz.
1:17
It's not the climate
1:19
question. It's the climate
1:21
quiz climate quiz. World Service
1:23
BBC world service host, Greyer
1:26
Jackson! Hello, we're much our teams
1:28
Thank to much. you the
1:30
test, going to be putting our teams
1:32
to the test much like we're testing the
1:35
limits of our planet three degrees of... are
1:46
the the sparks, okay. Jordan presents the presents the
1:49
climate question with me as regular
1:51
listeners will know and Rose been on
1:53
the programme on the times now. I
1:55
mean we're not counting probably more,
1:57
I'm a friend of the show.
1:59
more. from the energy. for Growth Hub and
2:01
competing against them we have team
2:03
Akshat Rati and Jackie Wakefield. Yes.
2:06
Team name? We've got our team
2:08
name is very creative it's called
2:10
Awak. Explain it. Well there is
2:13
a climate emergency and you have
2:15
to be awake to that fact.
2:17
So Akshat, friend of the show,
2:20
is a senior climate reporter for
2:22
Bloomberg and Jackie is a climate
2:24
disinformation expert at the BBC. Are
2:27
you feeling confident that you can
2:29
take these guys down? Are you
2:31
here to win? Well I'm just
2:34
here to tip part. I hope
2:36
everybody has a good time. I
2:38
would have a good time and
2:40
we want the planet more importantly
2:43
to win. Yeah. Oh. Right, let
2:45
the games begin. This round is
2:47
called Just a Minute. You will
2:50
each have just a minute to
2:52
talk about a given topic. But
2:54
unlike a politician answering a climate
2:57
question, you must not deviate, hesitate
2:59
or repeat yourself. If you do,
3:01
and your opponents notice, they will
3:04
be able to steal the topic
3:06
away from you by blowing their
3:08
whistle. Someone give me a blow.
3:11
Beautiful, thank you race. They will
3:14
then steal away the topic and
3:16
if they complete the whole 60
3:19
seconds, the remaining amount, they will
3:21
win the point. So just to
3:23
be clear, whoever is still talking
3:26
when the minute is complete wins
3:28
the round. Happy? Yeah, as happy
3:30
as you can be. All right,
3:33
action. Come on. Team awake, I
3:35
hope you are awake, you're the
3:37
first. And your topic is... positive
3:40
climate stories from 2024. Off you
3:42
go. Oh, there are so many
3:44
of those. So the amount of
3:47
money that is going into clean
3:49
energy versus fossil fuels is now
3:51
two to one that happened in
3:54
2024, which is quite a big
3:56
deal, right? In the number of
3:58
solutions that you need to deploy,
4:01
you have to deploy a lot
4:03
of clean energy, but the other...
4:05
other things that you need to
4:08
do is also do carbon capture.
4:10
Carbon capture investments have reached a
4:12
record level in 2024. I know
4:15
it's a controversial topic and not
4:17
everybody likes carbon capture, but that's
4:20
happening. The other solution that again
4:22
is quite controversial. He also said
4:24
so and carbon capture at least
4:27
twice there as well. I don't
4:29
repeat words. I mean, that's an
4:31
argument. Is nuclear power, nuclear power
4:34
in Austin. No. You take up
4:36
the nuclear power. Also, you're so
4:38
good, I was mesmerizing. It was
4:41
nice good news. Is it over?
4:43
So you've got 25 seconds. You
4:45
left. No, no, no, no, no.
4:48
Jordan. Yeah. Blue that whistles are
4:50
therefore Jordan from Team Spark is
4:52
on positive climate stories in 2024.
4:55
Off you go. Looking at what
4:57
China's doing is very interesting because
4:59
obviously it's one of the world's
5:02
largest car markets, cars as we
5:04
know are one of the biggest
5:06
problems that we have in terms
5:09
of transport emissions and so it's
5:11
wonderful to see vehicles slowly moving
5:13
away within the transition. The green
5:16
solutions that we have been... on
5:18
the clock off the air. Nuclear
5:21
is also controversial and this year
5:23
is the first year when the
5:25
goal to triple nuclear energy came
5:28
to force the first small modular
5:30
nuclear reactor is going to be
5:32
built in China. Well done action!
5:35
You have won a team awake
5:37
a point. Very good. Developments in
5:39
renewable energies. Off you go. So
5:42
esteemed listeners of this podcast are
5:44
good afternoon to you or good
5:46
morning wherever you are in the
5:49
world. There's an other. No! No!
5:51
I think that's a bit mean.
5:53
That is mean. Rose. Incorrect interruption.
5:56
Continue please. Where was I? I
5:58
was sending warm greetings to listeners
6:00
of this podcast all over the
6:03
world. I hear we have listeners
6:05
in countries like Kenya, Senegal, South
6:07
Africa, United Kingdom. Is that relevant?
6:10
I'm going to agree, deviation. You've
6:12
taken the point, Jackie. I mean
6:14
a whole 15 seconds. I mean
6:17
a whole 15 seconds. I think
6:19
that's a little bit cheeky. I'm
6:22
a Jackie. Hello to every other
6:24
country. Could you remind me of
6:26
the problem? Development in renewable energies.
6:29
Off you go Jackie. 45 seconds.
6:31
So there have been many developments
6:33
in renewable... It's a correct interruption.
6:36
I'm going to give it back
6:38
to you, Rose. No more talking
6:40
about countries and welcome to the
6:43
program, all right. 40 seconds left
6:45
on the clock, off you go.
6:47
Okay, so this was a hot
6:50
year in renewable energy technology, so
6:52
notably everyone is really excited about
6:54
fusion energy. People are talking about
6:57
recreating. Correct. I'm sorry Rose. It's
6:59
over to you so. Oh my
7:01
goodness. You act like that. You're
7:04
saying ruthless. You too. I'm enjoying
7:06
it. Oh, I'm sorry. Actually, you
7:08
have, there's just two seconds left
7:11
on the clock off you go.
7:13
Well, solar energy has been setting
7:15
record after record after record and
7:18
this year is going to be.
7:20
repetition. Wow, this round is brutal.
7:23
Back to Euros. 26 seconds on
7:25
the clock. Off you go. I
7:27
was just talking earlier about solar
7:30
energy. Um, ah. You take the
7:32
whistle. You play the whistle. You
7:34
get it. I'm going to keep
7:37
going. Nobody with the whistle. I'm
7:39
going to keep going. Nobody with
7:41
the whistle. Oh, did you both?
7:44
Oh, you did you. Oh, you
7:46
did. Oh, taking this. Okay. Off
7:48
you go. Actually. 21 seconds. So,
7:51
solar energy has said record. Year.
7:53
and we have to... Oh no!
7:55
This is not going to work
7:58
if every work. Back to me
8:00
and... And 16 seconds on the
8:02
clock grows off you guys. So
8:05
we're currently seeing a solar revolution
8:07
in Africa and also in Asia
8:09
so Pakistan just put the equivalent
8:12
of six months... Oh no! Go
8:14
ahead! Jackie! You stole it! There's
8:16
six seconds left on the clock,
8:19
off you go. Meanwhile my parents
8:21
have added a solar panel to
8:24
their roof this year which is
8:26
unheard of given Australia well done
8:28
This is so hard. I just
8:31
for the record. I'm the only
8:33
non-journalist in this room and so
8:35
I'm not as polished I just
8:38
spoke about my parents solver This
8:40
next one is one of your
8:42
favorite topics. One that you tried
8:45
to make sexy in a program
8:47
recently. It's energy efficiency, one minute
8:49
off you go. So interesting is
8:52
it that we talk always about
8:54
green par, how we're going to
8:56
make electricity, but not how we're
8:59
going to save it. Look around
9:01
your house. For instance, let's go
9:03
to your kitchen. What have we
9:06
got in there? You've got a
9:08
fridge. You've got a kettle. You've
9:10
got a toaster. Ooh! Look at
9:13
your big TV! But if you
9:15
ever thought about how much... Energy
9:17
moves. Energy. Energy but also there
9:20
was a fair bit of hesitation
9:22
there. That sounds just my voice.
9:25
That is, come on, we know
9:27
how smooth you are. Correct and
9:29
incorrect. You're allowed to repeat the
9:32
word. I mean energy efficiency he
9:34
can say energy efficiency as many
9:36
times he likes but he did
9:39
hesitate so I'm going to say
9:41
that's a correct interruption. You have
9:43
38 seconds! Energy efficiency. 38 seconds
9:46
go. Meanwhile my parents have adapted
9:48
to a electric car this year
9:50
everyone once again something that is
9:53
insane to think about given they
9:55
used to be Avids. This does
9:57
nothing to do with energy efficiency.
10:00
They've transitioned. The electric cars are
10:02
more energy efficient than cars. She
10:04
didn't set up. She was getting
10:07
to it. You talked about finances
10:09
for a little while there. What
10:11
is the sense in the control
10:14
room? Was that deviation? Deviation is
10:16
the ultimate decision. So Jordan, was
10:18
that you? It was Rose. Yes,
10:21
it was Rose. All right, Rose,
10:23
you've got 27 seconds. Go. Yes,
10:26
so many people are afraid of
10:28
conserving energy. They do not want
10:30
an austerity approach to their energy
10:33
use. They want to enjoy all
10:35
of the services that energy can
10:37
provide. And so energy efficiency has
10:40
a tricky messaging problem because people
10:42
want... to not, people do not
10:44
want to, oh, so close, at
10:47
that. The definition of energy efficiency.
10:49
No, no, we have to say
10:51
why you play your whistle. And
10:54
hesitation, two things. Well done. I
10:56
will grant that. Okay, 10 seconds,
10:58
ready, go. The definition of energy
11:01
efficiency is being able to do
11:03
more with less energy every time.
11:05
And what has happened over the
11:08
history of energy efficiency is that
11:10
we have become more and more
11:12
efficient at using energy. You guys
11:15
are good. Right. I'll just say
11:17
a more eloquent when I type.
11:19
For the record. Now for the
11:22
scores, beaming like a solar panel
11:24
in direct sunlight, it's teen awake
11:27
with three points. But failing to
11:29
live up to their potential like
11:31
a cop conferences in fossil fuel
11:34
states, it's teamless sparks. No points
11:36
for you guys. That was just
11:38
warming up for back. Okay, well
11:41
the competition is hotting up, hot
11:43
enough to burn a polar bear's
11:45
bum. The climate question is, can
11:48
team the sparks catch up and
11:50
save themselves from being as useless
11:52
as a carbon credit? That's all
11:55
to come on the BBC World

13:03
plus terms. your
13:06
quiz master, Grea Jackson. Our
13:08
next game is, name that
13:10
climate thing. Each team has
13:13
a pack of cards in
13:15
front of them. On those
13:17
cards is the name of
13:19
a place, a person or
13:21
an object. One team member
13:23
has to describe what's on
13:25
the card without using the
13:27
actual word and the other
13:29
teammate has to guess the
13:31
word. Each team only has
13:33
30 seconds to get as
13:35
many correct guesses as possible.
13:37
Words only, no actions and
13:39
sound effects are positively encouraged
13:41
and you can pass once.
13:44
Okay, team awake. Jackie, you're
13:46
going to go first on
13:48
your marks, gets that go.
13:50
Oh, very cold, big ice.
13:52
A big ice, and they're
13:54
dropping off. Yes. Okay, so,
13:56
oh, president of the United
13:58
States. Trump. The other one.
14:00
Biden. Yeah. It's a conference
14:02
every year. Oh, this is,
14:04
oh, it's, you've got oxygen,
14:06
what's the other one? CO2.
14:08
Yes, well, the name, the
14:10
foreign dioxide. Yeah, and then
14:13
we've got a big, big
14:15
carbon sink, massive carbon sink,
14:17
big one. Amazon. I think
14:19
we'll count that one in.
14:21
Well done. How many was
14:23
that? We got. glacier Joe
14:25
Biden to cop three carbon
14:27
dioxide for Amazon rains forest
14:29
five points well done right
14:31
Jordan do you want to
14:33
go first I'm right I
14:35
do ready yeah go go
14:37
It is a youth organisation,
14:39
it famously had a Swedish
14:41
girl who became one of
14:44
the most... Oh gosh, it's
14:46
a day of the week.
14:48
It's a day of the
14:50
week. It's the end of
14:52
the week. Oh my god,
14:54
Friday striking. I have no
14:56
idea passed. And it's the
14:58
large bit of ice, the
15:00
coldest part of the planet
15:02
in the north. It's got
15:04
a pool. This
15:06
is a global weather! What are
15:09
they to see? I've got to
15:11
prove, please, please! What is that?
15:13
The future. Well, you've got it
15:16
with school strike, because they're also
15:18
known as school strike, aren't they?
15:21
We're going to allow school strike,
15:23
okay? So how many did you
15:25
get there? Friday's for future or
15:28
school strike, permafrost, Arctic. So that's
15:30
three, three points. All right, actually,
15:32
it's over to you, 30 seconds,
15:35
starts now. President of China. The
15:37
thing that goes in your smartphone
15:40
that runs out all the time.
15:42
A battery? The thing that your
15:44
parents bought that moves them. A
15:47
car? Yeah, but what type? Electric
15:49
car? Electric. Electric. A different vehicle
15:51
car? Yeah. The thing that I
15:54
told about a controversial climate solution.
15:56
Carbon credits. Carbon capture. There you
15:59
go. that happens in the Amazon
16:01
that is burning and it's cutting
16:03
off deforestation it was burning at
16:06
one point so how many did
16:08
you get there we could come
16:11
and capture electric vehicle battery and
16:13
she's in pink for right rose
16:15
are you gonna save the day
16:18
for the sparks on your marks
16:20
get set Okay, this is when
16:22
you're flying to the US, sometimes
16:25
you go fast on the plane
16:27
because of the current. Jet stream?
16:30
Yes, this is in the Amazon,
16:32
there are lots of these things.
16:34
Trees? Yes. She was a climate
16:37
striker. Credit, Greta, Sinberg. Yes. Oh,
16:39
this is when you make clothes,
16:41
but in a sustainable way. Oh,
16:44
no, unsustainable way. We buy them.
16:46
First fashion. Yes. Thank you. The
16:49
opposite. He, you know, the vice
16:51
presidential candidate. Oh, gosh, Al Gore.
16:53
Well done. That was great. You
16:56
put the spark back in spark.
16:58
Okay, which ones did we get?
17:01
So, Tree, Greta, Jetstream, Fast Fashion,
17:03
Four. Nice, that's great. Which one
17:05
did you get out of interest?
17:08
Peepbog? Peepog? Peepog? Ireland's full of
17:10
peephogs. For a special subject. Where
17:12
are you from is all of
17:15
them? Exactly. And some men? Peepbogues.
17:17
All right, the results are in
17:20
dragging their feet like a Saudi
17:22
climate negotiator is team spark with
17:24
seven points, leaving team awake in
17:27
the lead with 12. We're catching
17:29
up, we're catching up. Yeah, yeah,
17:31
yeah. So
17:36
Team Spark, time is melting away
17:38
just like the ice caps. You
17:40
have one last chance to get
17:42
it together. Are you ready? Yeah,
17:44
absolutely. Are you confident you're going
17:46
to stay in the lead? 100%?
17:48
Could not be more confident. There
17:50
we go. So round three is
17:52
headlines. I'll play your headline, but
17:54
we'll dact out one word or
17:56
maybe two. And you have to
17:59
tell me what those words where.
18:01
Points will be awarded for humor
18:03
as... as well as the correct
18:05
answer. Team the Spark, so that's
18:07
Jordan and Rose, you have a
18:09
beltering when you think you've got
18:11
the correct answer, so let's hear
18:13
that. So polite, both saying, you
18:15
do it. And Team awake, Akshat
18:17
and Jackie, you have a ball-shaped
18:19
rattle, give it a shake. Okay,
18:21
so fingers on bells and balls.
18:23
In May, Bloomberg published this headline.
18:25
How Sewage is helping along the...
18:30
As a transition. Nice and
18:32
especially nice rose given that
18:34
actually works for Bloomberg. Did
18:36
you write that? I would
18:39
know my headlines. So it
18:41
turns out sewage water that
18:43
leaves your sink shower or
18:46
even toilet is hotter than
18:48
water than when it came
18:50
into your house. So this
18:53
is the story of one
18:55
Canadian town that's generating thermal
18:57
energy from sewage and in
19:00
2022 it generated enough energy
19:02
to heat three thousand residential
19:04
apartments. year which is quite
19:06
hard. Isn't it? That's good.
19:09
So well done for point
19:11
there. In the final few
19:13
days of February the BBC
19:16
published this story. Costs rise
19:18
as climate change hits crops.
19:20
Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Is that
19:23
what we want to go?
19:25
What are you going with?
19:27
Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee.
19:30
Cocon. Easter Eggs cost, right?
19:32
Oh, so close! I was
19:34
going to say dark chocolate.
19:37
It is. Heatwave in West
19:39
Africa blasted cocoa crops. Cutting
19:41
yields and causing UK Easter
19:43
egg prices to rise by
19:46
50% or more. Gonna get
19:48
half a point? No. That
19:50
was a headline published in
19:53
October in... Euro News. Any
19:55
ideas? What do Scottish people
19:57
like? Haggin? Oh, okay, Jordan
20:00
from Team Spark. Lunchrel wood.
20:02
Incorrect. Woodfire ovens. So random.
20:04
No. So we have a
20:07
second version of this with
20:09
only one word bleeped out.
20:11
Let's hear that and see
20:13
if you can get it.
20:16
Glasgow is triling eco-friendly electric.
20:18
To heat its aging homes.
20:20
Team awake, Jackie. You looked
20:23
at me like, you knew
20:25
it. You two are looking
20:27
each other in the eyes
20:30
so intensely. It is incredible.
20:32
It's too intensely. I'm going
20:34
to give you three seconds.
20:37
Mira. Mira. Mira. Incorrect. Electric
20:39
furnaces. Incorrect. What is it?
20:41
Glasgow is triling eco-friendly electric
20:43
wallpaper to heat its aging
20:46
homes. Mirror wasn't too bad.
20:48
Mirror wasn't too bad. Electric
20:50
wallpaper is being tried out
20:53
in 12 properties in the
20:55
Scottish city of Glasgow to
20:57
see if it's viable as
21:00
a gas-free heat source. I've
21:02
heard it all. I mean,
21:04
it's electric blankets work. Why
21:07
not wallpaper? So this is
21:09
the final one of this
21:11
round. On a warm August
21:13
day, Bloomburg penned this. California
21:16
is turning to... for wildfire
21:18
prevention. Jackie! Oh no, I...
21:20
Team awake? This is so
21:23
the wrong headline! prisoners. But
21:25
it's because they used prisoners
21:27
to put out the fire.
21:30
Jackie tell me a bit
21:32
more, prisoners, wildfires. So I
21:34
believe that they were using
21:37
prisoners in the US when
21:39
the wildfires were really kicking
21:41
off to help firefight. So
21:43
they were out with firefighting
21:46
crews helping to get rid
21:48
of the fire. Oh, okay,
21:50
well that's interesting. didn't know
21:53
that. Team, the spark. Goats.
21:55
Was it really? Jordan Goats.
21:57
Goats. Are you saying that
22:00
in a comedy sense? Would
22:02
you actually mean that as
22:04
an answer? I mean it
22:07
would do both. Why would
22:09
a coward go out of
22:11
fire? Because they eat the
22:13
foliage. Yeah, around it so
22:16
that it doesn't have the
22:18
kindling and it's a natural
22:20
fabric. I'm going to watch
22:23
your phone because that's very
22:25
creative. And I'm going to
22:27
give you one, the prisoners
22:30
as well, but actually both
22:32
of you are incorrect. wildfire
22:34
prevention. California now has a
22:37
burn bot to carry out
22:39
controlled burns, a way of
22:41
clearing vegetation, much like a
22:43
goatwood Jordan I guess, to
22:46
reduce the amount of fuel
22:48
available to potential wildfires. Very
22:50
cold. They always forget the
22:53
goats. Just
22:56
like coal power in the UK our
22:58
time is up a final tally of
23:00
the schools and the real climate leader
23:02
is team awake with 13 points And
23:05
I have your climate question crowns here
23:07
for you you go at Shat climate
23:09
royalty. Yep. Oh, how exciting? One for
23:11
you Jackie and also a very Carbon-friendly
23:13
gift. This is so sweet! They're very
23:15
well-renowned flour at Christmas. They've got red
23:18
leaves. Ponsetas, I think they're pronounced. So
23:20
nice. And you don't have to share
23:22
it, don't worry. Here's one for you
23:24
too, actually. The BBC budget did stretch,
23:26
I mean, amazingly, who would have thought.
23:28
And team sparks. A close second with
23:31
nine points or really four points behind
23:33
in the end and thank you so
23:35
much taking part. I have got a
23:37
crown for you as well. Are they

After the yoga classes, I

felt amazing. felt But soon, But
25:39
that calm, welcoming atmosphere leads
