all their credits can then trade with others as part of the strategy to encourage the use of clean energy technology. kind of one of the 1st trades on friday morning . company paid $1200000.00 to pump out more than 176000 tons of emissions. that is about $8.00 a ton. alex brill as a senior fellow at the american enterprise institute, he's joining us live from washington dc. it's good, happy with us is always alex on al jazeera. let me ask you about this system 1st of all, because i find this incredibly complicated to understand. but it seems as though this is a way of people paying cash to avoid doing anything about reducing that emissions. is that too harsh? do you think? well, i think to think about this, it's just to kick off. first of all, i think it's nice to see china moving in the direction of least verbally commitment or acknowledgement of reducing carbon emissions. the largest emitter is

united and so they have got like the rest of the world to find a way to reduce emissions overall. the particular strategy or tactic that's being launched today that was demo in the past and china to it's a policy that we're, it's being used in other markets as well in europe and elsewhere is one that, that is among the most complicated in my view. there they're giving away for free these, these token, these permits to, to the existing emitters and then allowing them to, to, to, to sell or buy those if they're enforced at some, at the market price that at present that price seems to be quite low. and the scope of the program seems to be relatively narrow. the communist party in china doesn't seem to have made any secret of the fact that it's priority is the economy certainly over the considerations of controlling carbon emissions. how seriously

different china is actually taking this? well, it's a great question and for one, the incentives i think are not well aligned in this program, given what you just noted, their, their commitment to the increasing output, which is greater than their commitment to reducing carbon emissions, other policies that could get it. this strategy like a carbon tax, would actually align those incentives would say it would encourage the enforcement of these policies would encourage the tax rate to be higher because then the government would be collecting revenue under this game. the strong incentives for them to perhaps look the other way if a company where to exceed its limits for companies in a sense, cook their bookstore, or cheat, or in other ways. and there is no indication yet about how rigorous the enforcement will be around this program. and when push comes to shove and output is the, is the priority. it's one could easily imagine that this program could, it could be suspended or softened or loosened in some way. you raise an interesting

point. the enforcement of this, this is always a problem, isn't it? how do you police is something that, that's particularly when it's something on the scale of china and the level of industrialization that the country has? it's exactly right. and what we know about what's happening in china developing countries, it's growing very rapidly, is there are new plants coming online all the time. and they're coming online all across the country. and so to, to impose these new programs on a new company, a startup companies could prove very difficult other policies that were more upstream. in other words, if you impose a restriction a rule, a price attacks as your oil comes out of the ground, as the gas comes out of the ground, you have fewer parties that you have to monitor. it's naturally easier to enforce a program like that than a program like this moment. imagine, of course,

that there is going to come a point at which china is going to become a victim of climate change in the way that the rest of the planet is going to. it's going to have to do something, isn't it, is the, is it, or what you, i mean, you touched on it slightly earlier in your, your 1st on so, but is there a way that would be more effective for china given its level of investment in economic expansion to be able to at least controls, to some degree, the emissions that it has and avoid what could be a very dangerous future. well, i think your 1st point is really important. it is in china's interest to reduce emissions, insurance interests for the whole world to reduce emissions just as it in our interest for, for everyone to tackle this very real problem in the interest of their citizens. they're very aware obviously about the issues of local pollution and, and the congestion that they experience in their major cities. and so they are motivated to address this challenge. i believe, you know, a big piece of this will be lowering the cost of,

of creating output of generating energy in a cleaner way. and china is a big is, is part of that solution. there they are, manufacturers of, of clean technology and they should are getting in trouble, rightfully so for, for the means of the production of some of the solar panels that are quite important. but they are also developing lower tech knology, lower cost technologies, more countries should be, should be in that game, but, but china is already engaged and contributing and that will positive way. alex is always great to get your thoughts on this. we appreciate it. i, bro, thank you very much indeed. thanks for having me. green lines, government has suspended all new oil and gas exploration around the island, citing climate change concerns. the countries mineral resources, ministry says the price of drilling would be ultimately too high. the us geological survey estimates that could be more than 17000000000. undiscovered bottles of oil

walker's adamant for games post 0 risk to the japanese public. but we spoke to ab sportswriter, steven waiting, tokyo, and he says people on the ground remained skeptical. i think the japanese public is not buying it. i think it's impossible to say there's 0 risk you just mentioned we're having every day a smattering of cases. it's impossible for mister bob to say it's going to be perfectly safe. 11000 atlantic athletes, 4400 paralympic athletes coming in here. tens of thousands of more officials, judges me abroad casters, it's impossible, things will not slipped through the cracks and he knows that. but he can only say they're going to be safe and secure. and before the pandemic struck, this was, this is, and he still says the best prepared city ever. these would have been magnificent games. a stadium behind is by can go, coma is a masterpiece. it was bits recently built and looks like it's been in the city forever. these would have been wonderful games, but the pandemic took the air out of everything. and then when the japanese organizer had to start reorganizing,

the cost started to go up. people started to get skeptical, and they're still skeptical a week from now. we're going to have 1000 people apparently in the stadium that said 68001000 people to see the opening ceremony of the tokyo olympics. that shows you how desperate the situation is and how the ios see despite everything else has to have this on television. that's the money maker, tv makes the money. and so that's what's driving these games forward. i think when it starts, like all epics, you know, we run up to elliptic games are very contentious or difficult. this is a massive event to put on. there's always problems when the game start very typically the fans get into it. so judo is a very early event here for japan of jazz, japan does well in judo, i suspect the public will start to raise the flag and wave it. these are after all, very nationalistic driven games. so once the games begin, people will get behind that. i think the japanese public will forget very quickly or at least temporarily what went before and they'll get caught up, particularly if they do well. know if they disappoint,

that could be another. another matter. japanese police are looking for a member of uganda. weightlifting team who has gone missing julius quito local disappeared from the themes base in western japan. it's been reported he had not made the final team and was due to fly home on july 20th before the start of the games. the most valuable plane women's n b a basketball nicko gumi k is in danger of missing the olympics. the los angeles spock forward is the only m v p to be left off the us team. she then hope to play for jerry a instead. but according to basketball, will governing body or me k is as well as another nigerian american elizabeth williams have played for the us for too long, or has appealed the decision. this is over 200 days for the winter olympics and venues nearing completion in beijing. china, the hosting of the games has been shrouded in controversy. katrina year reports from a jack jack co, north of beijing,
