the president here the energies speech yesterday
in which he promised that within a here
is gonna figure out some rules to regulate industry
or at least rev regulate the release of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases
and that within a year after that
he's going to put them in a place
which is gonna be kinder and up into the end of his presidency
but uh... you know there are some more suggestion ok this could be his legacy
this could be a really great thing others who are saying well you know he's
turned the dog a bone
to the uh...
to the did the green end of his
of his base and i mean i could build an argument for either one i'm and
i'm gonna just wait and see
biomedical
genius here take a shins director with the competitive enterprise institute
c_e_o_ dot org is a somewhat more skeptical of the whole playing
the prior welcome to the program
thank you
uh... he i i have a question
the
only industry the best of my knowledge
that doesn't pay to dispose of its ways
and we here at the top harvard program we generate ways we we
poster paper
but uh... uh... in a week
page as part of our rent to dispose of our waste
uh...
at home where i live by
certainly paid to dispose of my waist
uh... tiana rest right they have your waist taken away or any kind of business
but the only issue is far as i know that doesn't pay to have their waste disposed
of as the fossil fuel industry they don't
paid for the carbon dioxide that they pour into our atmosphere
about you it would only opera carrier
exhale leader would also put
carbon dioxide or no it doesn't when we exhale we are so we are cycling carbon
when we eat were observing carbon
uh... and all of that is contemporary carbon
but the fossil fuel industry is doing is not cycling carbon they're not taking
carbon is currently in the environment the atmosphere
use unit metabolically and and and you hear excreted or observing it
they're taking carbon that was
metabolized three to six hundred million years ago
through the through you know with your process fueled by sunlight and did the
done by photosynthesis
they're taking and then trapped underground for three hundred million
years
they're taking that carbon out of the ground and throwing it into the
atmosphere that's waste that's a very different than the next ailing
it would be url
well now that's that's battles as this then i'm talking about this is this is
fifth grade high school her fifth-grade uh...
you know basic science there's a difference between
detailed the heidi inhale auction excel carbon dioxide
the tree outside my house
in hale's karne oxide excels oxygen
that's a carbon cycle
that's a very different thing from dean you know thousand feet down into the
ground and extracting oil which used to be you know rotted c vegetation six and
a million years ago
pulling the carbon out of that and throwing the atmosphere that's producing
waste
so why shouldn't the fossil fuel industry pay for their waste
open
i am not a uh...
why are we are armed and the question of oto but the president the president well
i think this is such a question i think that the president should be calling for
a carbon tax
so that the the people who are producing this waste which is
internal war mean our atmosphere we've got five percent more water vapor
atmosphere right now than we've had before
we're seeing explosion in fire magnitude
uh... weather events
that that the people who are causing this
helping pay for the remediation of any gay according to the reinsurance covey
swiss re is coming out brought
in a really hysterical there's large portions of this country that are now
uninsurable
you know
admissions are
we've got latch waste
right that there were ten years ago
without wallace in nineteen eighty levels of waste
yes but still the fact that they haven't paid for their weighs two hundred and
fifty years doesn't mean they shouldn't start today
why yaar
why don't we why are we not little adults right
well scott what's really going on here in this position
land applicant whole industry
or if it
filipino altar anything that comes out of a smokestack term incumbent that's
why i'm saying that any carbon the comes out of the ground that's not part of the
norman normal carbon cycle
any carbon comes out of the ground against the ends up in my abbas fear
i would like the person puts their car in the atmosphere pay for we had this
problem was solved for you know back in the nineteen eighties and sofrer was
being sold for comes along with call as well as carbon
and dense offer was being injected into the atmosphere huge amounts from from
smokestacks from coal-fired power plants
and george herbert walker bush
you know good good uh... the heritage foundation republican the wires
took a heritage foundation solution and put into place a cap and trade program
where the bank stirs could make some money off this industry could make some
money off this
consequence was the acid rain went away
i mean they actually you know we've over the last that thirty years we've
we pretty much solve the acid rain problem
with a cap and trade program why not do that with with carbon dioxide
overcoat a carbon dioxide you're talking about portraying
we have determined that's harmful was certainly we had excellant
of the email course we have
black brian virtually every side is the world where can i would say of the ones
who aren't not in the employer the fossil fuel industry all the scientists
in the world uh... there we've got a real serious problem and that they won't
show it heart
all come on
black eyes and just that's patently untrue
that's p_d_a_ put aside
at the end demonstrate carbon dioxide it deployed
if you would have not only will you be a provided what they provided to the
supreme court several years ago when the supreme court ruled explicitly
that the e_p_a_ has the authority under the guise under the constitution
and under the law to regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant because it is
open why won't they show us the paratroop reports
of course they do it so it's a business they have it they have a big
longitudinal study
repudiate what margaret recreate preparing really rohnert
but because i read your book prepared for it
taxpayer paperwork
andrew daughter
but we've been actor for four years sunday that they were all you know good
luck trying to get a piece of paper of the p_a_ that big black doesn't that
doesn't it part of the argue against the the the you know we've got to do
something about this
there he is no disputing the carbon in our atmosphere principally in the form
of carbon dioxide
but also in the form of methane is warning our planet and the consequence
of that is not good for the human race or for all other forms of life by the
way you got trees they can't i'll run climate change
and their enforcer dying off across north america and europe
well bit beat new did you work at home said
uh... it's been twenty years but there's been any warning
no it's not true and it's been twenty years since we have twenty people
the new york are required
now have chris wallace in twenty years it was sixteen years straight
personal was in twenty years was sixteen years of their sense i think it's going
to the three rd of accounting for about the warming after a big actual not going
to take uh...
right nineteen ninety-seven was an exceptionally
it was an extraordinarily high here but the loop but they admit the though the
line
from for the last thirty years
with the exception of ninety eight which popped up a really super hot yes we're
just we're just getting back to where nineteen ninety-eight was but that
doesn't mean the nineteen ninety nine wasn't warmer the nineteen ninety-seven
it wise
and two thousand was warmer than nineteen ninety nine two thousand one
was warmer than two thousand trend as continued in the united states
right worldwide ok no in the united states
go back to work
world hot and do you think trend but look at the trend in the arctic it's
even more radical belden measuring statements
almir maker city
where there's a heating up that
but he added you as the satellite measurements of the planet match up the
arctic measurements pat let match-up the deep-sea measurements pandora signs
indicating that as much as seventy percent of all everyone is ending up in
the oceans come on brian
prepared there's no there's been no warranty or okay you want to say
seventeen-year there was no warning from the peanuts and everything
but this pancakes twenty-year break off their warrant or that's not what
happened here brit pop
that's not what happened here misrepresenting the statistics but look
at it
you're misrepresenting the statistics you had one hundred very hot utica new
york times uh... you didn't know that this is a misrepresentation of the
statistics you have one very hot year nineteen ninety-seven and ninety-eight
and that one very high here doesn't mean that every year after it that was cooler
than that one year
thought was warmer
that all the years that preceded it
are irrelevant
