>> this is a bloomberg exclusive. a bipartisan group warned that the u.s. is in for deadly flooding and dangerous heat if something is not done about global warming. we will talk to one of those behind a startling new report. polaroid wants you to get the picture. the company is a lot more than

those instant cameras these days. we will be talking to the polaroid ceo. welcome to "market makers anarcho --." erik schatzker will be here with us shortly. before we take you to mid town manhattan, we have to take you out to the newsroom with some breaking economic eta. here is michael mckee. >> hold onto your hat. we have a holy cow number out. the expectation was for a small increase, new home sales go up 18 .6%. this is in the month of may. this puts us at a 500-4000 annual sales pace. billed as a been telling us that they have been growing more confident about people coming into the market. this seems to support that view. much of the increase in the northeast and in the south, we

saw it increase all across the nation. housing seems to be back after the big increase in existing home sales. these numbers will increase the amount of supply out there. the number of homes for sale is not changing. consumer confidence is up. there is a chance of those things go together. from 83er goes to 85.2 even. to 82.2.vised down that is three points and a better-than-expected. some really good economic news to start your show, stephanie. that while, for holy cow number, michael mckee. i want to take you to erik schatzker. he is standing by with hank paulson. they are speaking about climate change. >> i am here in midtown with the

former secretary of the treasury paulson. we have known about the relationship between carbon dioxide and atmospheric warming since before the second world war. many people do not realize that. scientists have been predicting climate change for 50 years. research is overwhelmingly conclusive. i know you share that opinion. nothing has been done. plan.rld needs an action give me three practical steps that we can take to deal with this problem now. short term is the enemy we all face. it clearly is. we face in all facets of life. we face it on a wall street and in washington. steps that i think have come out of the study we the firstsed is

attempt and i think it is a good one to quantify the risk that climate has to our economy. the steps that come out of that are things that i think business needs to do. study.ll be a it is a first attempt. arethe first time, we quantifying the risk. risk andthe immediate not just the most reasonable cases, but the outside risks. the really perverse outcomes. what i would call the big risks. demand thated to businesses make disclosures.

make disclosures about the risks. make disclosures about carbon emissions. make disclosures about the risk of stranded assets. secondly, i think business leaders in the united states are the best i have ever seen. u.s. companies are the best managed companies in the world. u.s. businesses need to lead on this issue. the investments they are making today are going to have a lot to do with our economic future. businesses need to do more in terms of investing in resilience. we need toantly, take out a national insurance policy. we need the federal government to take action. and city, businesses

governments are way ahead of the national government. businesses need to do a better job of lobbying and pressing the national government to put the kinds of policy in place that would let us avoid the most adverse outcomes. >> transparency, disclosure, business leadership, a national insurance policy. you cochair to the risky with michael bloomberg. you talk about the quantification of economic risk. put it in blunt terms. if this country does not take action on climate change, what happens? >> i think it can be catastrophic. the risks and the costs are already baked into the

system as it were. adversevoid the most outcomes. really averse are in terms of the impact that they can have in the environment in which we live and on our economy. the real value of this report. this report does not say that this is the most likely outcome. this report looks at best cases and worst cases and uses modeling to really understand the rest. >> the worst-case scenarios are in the hundreds of billions of dollars. >> very much so. timee maintained for some that there really is

unpredictability. are of these outcomes centuries from now coming much sooner. but scientists are doing, they are very conservative and looking at facts. extrapolating historical data. we are living in a new world with man-made co2. just take a couple of examples. 15 years ago, scientists were predicting that the polar ice caps might melt at the end of the century. this in theeeing next decade or two. who knows what they will be forecasting 10 years from now. i think when you're dealing with something that is unpredictable, you need to take out an insurance policy. >> what about the political

question mark? if you asked the republicans how much do you believe in climate change, none of of the hands would go up. how do you create a safe space for these people to participate in the discussion about solutions? let me again with the fact in the study that we just did. this is bipartisan. we have two republican former treasury secretaries and a democrat. we have republicans and democrats and we agree that there is a common problem. we may disagree on some of the solutions, but we believe there is a common problem. that is where you need to start. i am a part -- proud member of the republican party.

i know many republicans in business and in government that want a fact-based discussion of this. is going lot of this to start with the american people. when it takes to get congress to act and what it takes to get our national government to act is for the american people to demand it. what do you do in the interim? let's take marco rubio as an example. he has a promising future. he changed hise, position on climate change. he says he does not believe in it. what do you say to senator rubio? what do you say to all of these people who for the time being ?re in office

-- i willam doing tell you what i am doing -- i think actions speak louder than words. paulson institute. i spend a lot of time in china. chinas going to happen in is going to drive economic and environmental outcomes all over the world. >> do the chinese get this? >> they get it. i think americans get this. and the young americans get this. i think the chinese have an urgent need to deal with dirty air. it is killing people. there is a great opportunity for our two countries to work together. only if they work together are we going to be able to solve this problem. the u.s. needs to lead. in terms of what i am doing in the u.s., i am supporting the

study. this study is not aimed at the broader american population. this is aimed largely at the business community. it quantifies the risk and we are going to try to energize the business community to put more pressure on federal officials do give them more cover to the sorts of things that they will need to do. approach that one support,the one that i some way of pricing carbon and change behavior. i think that is what it takes to change behavior. others would have a different approach. >> part of the problem here is a lack of incentives. why would anybody not build a beach house on a piece of sand if the government will pay for

you to build up after a hurricane? how do you incentivize people to change behavior? >> let's come back to incentives. oppose the people who changing the national incentives, that believe that a carbon tax is all about the government, are missing the point altogether. it is rather perverse. here, they areg guaranteeing that the government is going to have to come in repeatedly. when we have a hurricane or a flood or a killer tornado or a fire or a drought what happens? the national government comes in. that is the role of the national government. we all pay. that is a recipe for bigger government. that is a very large hazard.

>> is there a way of achieving without a change in government policy? born?et-based solution >> there are a lot of things we could do. there is not a one-size-fits-all. there are risks that are very immediate. what is a whole lot of businesses should be doing. they want to minimize the damage that is going to come from the and thend the storms debts. >> that does not address the problem at its core. a very deals with immediate problem. we're going to need to take more extraordinary action. >> one less question. you spoke passionately about the work that you are doing.

how do you reach the people whose minds you need to change? >> in terms of reaching the people whose minds we need to change thomas --, i have a lot of things i do well. i am not an order. or.orate what i think it is going to take to reach their minds is young people already care. just go to the universities. young people care. i think it is going to be very difficult for any politician over time to deny that climate change exists. there'll be so much tangible evidence in terms of the weather events, they will not be able to do that. that is not my concern. people wills acknowledge that it exists but

won't be prepared to take the strong measures we need to take now to take out an insurance not only protect ourselves but our children and grandchildren from a very different world and one none of us would want to live in. >> thank you very much for your time. that was the former treasury secretary hank paulson. this was a passionate conversation about climate change. >> a fantastic conversation. thank you eric. thank you mr. paulson. alan mulally sits down with our own matt miller. it is a bloomberg exclusive. how polaroid it reinvented itself. it is not just instant cameras anymore. we will be speaking to the

>> welcome back. hackers are targeting hedge funds. there was an attack just last network. one fund's just one of the many recent hacks. it is a troubling issue for the financial sector as a whole. threat isscuss the ken benson, the president and ceo of the securities industry and financial markets association. welcome. security and the threat of a cyber attack is one of our industry's number one priorities. this is a growing threat that the industry is spending a great deal of time and money to

prepare for and defend for. to theally goes integrity of the financial system in the united states. we know that there are an increasing number of attempts to infiltrate the financial system by several criminals. -- cyber criminals. there are potential risks from terrorist groups as well, or others. this is a top priority. it is something we need to work closely within the industry, and we are, and also with regulators. >> is the fix for this issue the. secure proposal? you could have a secure domain that would apply to the financial services industry? >> i think it is bigger than that. >> is that a step toward it? >> that can be a step. technology can be a step. it is more than just that. it frankly goes beyond

technology, even to the power sector. what are we doing to connect the power grid? if you do not have power, what do you do about that? it is a holistic approach that we have to take, not just to defend against an attack, but also to have and be prepared to do with the recovery, if and when there is an attack, if we have to close the markets. how do we stand them back up? within been doing a lot the industry and with regulators and we have elevated it to a much higher level and need to do more with the government. >> what do hackers want? out?ey want to pull cash do they want info? whohe motivations depend on the hacker is. in some cases, we know they are people trying to get into it information to sell that information into the broad public. others want to steal money. what we are particularly concerned about -- and those are are those who come

in in a very malicious way to destroy information. if you are trying to destroy how do werecords, protect against that? our concern is not just those who are looking to steal, but those who are looking to really bring a devastating attack on the united states through the financial services sector. do you have any idea how many other hedge funds have been attacked or whether they are even aware of the fact that they have been hacked? >> that raises an important question and something that congress needs to address and that is the sharing of information. portalsve information within different sectors, including financial services. liability protection,

which congress needs to pass. we are seeing movement on that this week. concerns whenacy they are sharing information among different firms and sharing information with the government. rightfully so. there is client privacy and the trust they put in us. but if we have to share information that a firm is being attacked and that information could get to another firm or that we want to share with the government and have the government share with us, we need protections so we can have that two why communication. theow underfunded are protections? >> the industry is spending a tremendous amount of money. >> the industry is? >> but we need better protocols with the government and the industry. we cannot do this alone. the government cannot do it alone. it is something we need to do a jointly. it is something we are working on. >> the government needs to tweak the safeguards that are in effect for the safeguards of privacy?

>> the government has tools the industry does not have, but there also has to be clear communication with the industry. particularly if we get into a situation that involves the markets. government needs to be involved. if we have to close the markets, when we should reopen the markets? it is a two-way street. >> some of your member organizations want to share more information. understand that there are those who are terrified of the idea of the government sharing more information. >> nobody cares more about privacy -- >> they might be terrified to find out what the government knows. >> know because more about privacy than the financial services industry. but we have to find the right balance so that we can defend against these attacks, and recover if there is an attack. there is no question about it. it is something we are working on an something we will continue to work on. it is a top priority for our

industry. we are putting tremendous effort behind this. we view it as the next big risk. >> thank you so much for joining us. tent.hen -- ken bensen >> you can still get first-class treatment at the airport. ♪

>> live from bloomberg headquarters in new york, this is "market makers." with erik schatzker and stephanie ruhle. >> welcome back to "market makers." >> it is 11:30 in new york city. >> indeed it is. time for us to talk about a $48 billion takeover of direct av by at&t. it is under scrutiny on the hill today -- directv by at&t. it is under scrutiny on the hill today. >> there was no significant competitive overlap between at&t and direct tv in the product that consumers are overwhelmingly demanding and

that is a broadband video bundle. the consumer benefits to this transaction are significant. directvle to offer nationwide is a game changer in terms of the economics for deploying broadband. megan hughes is on capitol hill news now and bloomberg media reporter alec sherman is here to break it down for us. macon, let's start with you. what are lawmakers concerns -- megan, let's start with you. what are lawmakers' concerns? >> there is a lot of concern about what we are seeing across the board in the communications industry. one thing to point out that we heard from stevenson, he is mentioning that there is not overlap when it comes to bundle services. it is the key phrase here. when you hear from the opponents, they say, randall that weon's argument is are strong and broadband and

directv is strong and pay tv and these two things complement each other. opponents say at&t is in pay-tv as well and that is their big case. be a big hit to competition when it comes to pay-tv services. that is the back-and-forth we are hearing. have a general concern about the landscape across the board with telekom. >> one of the interesting things about what is being said today in congress is the push toward the idea that consumers really want a bundle of all services. if you are a cable subscriber, you probably already get your landline, phone, broadband all-in-one. at&t-directv is pushing this wireless tv bundle together. you just heard randall stephenson. this bundle that consumers want. there is no evidence that consumers want this. the radically, you might want this if the cost would go down. that is what they are pushing.

-- theoretically, you might want this if the cost would go down. that is what they are pushing. >> hold on a second. the people want to bundle? it seems like people would want à la carte. most people have pay-tv in the home and a wireless plan. putting those two together does make some sense. if you're able to pay less for it, then great. but some of the other services, goingr point, maybe our away. most people do not get standalone tv today, particularly from at&t. most people get the bundle and that is what we should be talking about. i remember talking to time warner cable ceo who recently passed away and he said time warner cable used to look at this year after year after year and they saw no evidence that customers really wanted their smartphone and their tv service on the same bill. interestinge other

things that we have been hearing in the hearing today from the directv ceo michael white is that directv is offering synthetic bundles. broadband is provided by a separate provider and a lot of the complaints that it -- they have been hearing are a lot of -- about dealing with two different providers with the synthetic bundle. , actuallyeir case sort of undermining some of their business credibility with the synthetic bundles, which is pretty interesting. >> do hearings like this just give lawmakers a chance to channel -- >> ha ha ha. ' concerns?s >> let's be clear. the chances of this going through are quite high.

these two companies do not really compete with each other. from an anti-competitive benefit, you have to stretch to make a very good benefit -- case. they are going to be all over the map with questions. one senator said my constituents in virginia cannot get the local affiliate station through directv. that doesn't have anything to do with this merger. >> the issue is those people in congress to not understand what is happening. that is a big concern. >> it might be grandstanding or they don't understand. i'm not sure what is going on on that end. >> they're wasting someone's time. they mayis a chance not understand the new wants is -- that is quite high. that one ofr to say the reasons at&t wants to do a offerike this and customers bundled services is so that it is harder to go à la carte. at&t might offer you a great deal to have a bundled service

with directv and at&t broadband and this that and the other thing. but if you want to just a simple broadband connection, it will make it harder for you to get netflix and whatever all a card services that you might like -- à la carte services you might like. >> it is probable that directv wants that. the ecosystem these companies are in revolves around a bundle of pay tv services. they make money off of it by bundling it in with everybody else. >> if you try to parse it out, are you going to get screwed? >> what are you parsing out exactly? if you want the services individually from each other, which is what directv and at&t, that is exactly what they have now -- then you're going to lose money. in a sense, this is hoping consumers. >> thank you so much for giving us the latest.
