are they losing carbon? gaining carbon? why? so we use the atmosphere as a diagnostic to get a handle on these processes to quantify where these processes take place and how large they are. we want to diagnose how the carbon cycle is developing, and we want to understand why. now, the first accurate measurements of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were done in 1956 by david keeling. he was also the first to start continuous monitoring of carbon dioxide from a mountaintop in hawaii. the mauna loa volcano. narrator: noaa's global monitoring division has continued taking measurements at mauna loa for the past 30 years. but to enhance the accuracy of these measurements, they have expanded their data collection effort to many other remote locations across the globe. dr. tans: for many decades, we've had a global-flask-sampling network, whereby people send us air from specific locations that are downwind from a large stretch of ocean water. or we get these samples from deserts or mountaintops. typically away from terrestrial vegetatio

ireland has a carbon tax. the finland i think has a carbon tax there's several countries that have already put carbon taxes through us what has their experience been. well i think british columbia is a really good example they have a pretty modest carbon tax started out very low it's now up to thirty dollars per tonne but you know a lot of economists will say that needs to get higher and continues to need to increase but what you see in british columbia is not only have they been producing more emissions than the rest of canada as a whole over the period of the carbon tax has been in place but a. also their economy is doing just about as well or a little bit better than the rest of canada as a whole while they're reducing their emissions so it really shows this is something that can be good for the economy good for businesses and good for their environment it's important thing i mean. yale project on climate change communication found that fifty five percent of republicans have a much larger percentage of demo

and this is where the carbon is. what's interesting about this, they made this field, this is new, so they're helping to sequester carbon. living soils like this retain on average three times more carbon than the foliage above the ground. if we were to restore the vast areas of the planet where we humans have degraded the soils, just think what an impact we would have in taking carbon out of the atmosphere. as much as a quarter of the world's land mass has been degraded. and much could be rehabilitated in the way we have seen on the loess plateau. and we've only just begun to recognize the real value of natural capital. surely, investing in the recovery of damaged environments is a cost-effective way of solving many of the problems we face today. >> why do we not invest an equal amount, if not more, into a shovel-ready technology, so to speak, which is nature's way of sequestering and storing carbon? it is actually by investing in our ecological infrastructure and ecosystems, and expanding the ability of nature to se

the permit process carbon is carbon pollution exactly the same harm the same means of the harm the supreme court said greenhouse gases are under the threat of the e.p.a. no one even challenge that today not even not to the point of they were complaining about the e.p.a. they were saying that you can't regulate the jail there are the bases of their challenge was this permanent process they're not allowed to do to that it's just the moment they were also it's like a little tiny technical piece of the overall mechanism in fact in reading up on the case ahead of time before i went to hear the argument today a lot of people are downplaying the importance of this case in that it's such a small little part even came up in the arguments that if they rule against the e.p.a. today they will still have authority over eighty three percent of the carbon emissions c o two emissions if they rule in favor of the today would be eighty six so there's only a three percent of margin of fourteen or seventeen percent being the grand plans three percent three percent difference when eighty three and the thirteen

it is not just carbon emissions but air quality. the day that i arrived the index in beijing was roughly 10 times and that allowed here under epa regulations. they have a very strong motivation to address emissions across the board, but i also want to emphasize that i would say in all the discussions we have had, their commitment to addressing carbon emissions is real. clearly they are balancing that against economic growth. one of the things we're doing is trying to increase collaboration on the carbon dioxide capture utilization and sequestration technologies that are key for us and them it to be using coal in a low carbon world. >> a few questions from some of our international correspondents. one from russia. you had negotiations with your russian counterparts. do you have new programs which you want to develop with russia in the near future? >> we did indeed complete the megawatts program. for those of you not familiar, perhaps a brief explanation is in order. starting in 1993, the united states and russia went into a partnersh

these tiny organisms play a key role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide. the food chain, they are essential to ocean ecosystems. understanding the ecology of phytoplankton is the goal of penny chisholm at the massachusetts institute of technology. chisholm: what most people don't realize is that the oceans are responsible for half of the photosynthesis on earth, and that is that they produce half of the oxygen that is produced through the photosynthetic mechanism. the organisms that do this are the microbes, the phytoplankton in the oceans. we call them the invisible forest. they are the plants of the oceans, and they are the base of the food web. if they weren't there, there would be nothing else living in the oceans. narrator: another crucial role of phytoplankton is to regulate carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. chisholm: we think of the ocean ecosystem as a photosynthetic machine, in a sense. and a critical function of this machine is to steadily pump carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the surface oceans and then export it to the deep ocean. narrat

they say the real villain in global warming is carbon emissions from coal-fired plants. and that the e.p.a., the environmental protection agency, is already closing down these polluters, closing them down. the pipeline, they say, is not as important -- >> sure. >> -- as mckibben says. >> this is an important, coal-fired power plants are very important. and the environmental movement, including 350.org, has worked very hard. the reason that the obama administration has put forward these regulations on coal in the last year is because the environmental movement did a wonderful job, led by the sierra club, of taking 100 -- plans for 150 coal-fired power plants and fighting every single one of them. and most of them will never be built. and it's good that the obama administration is pounding the nails now into the coffin that the environmental movement prepared. that's good. but that doesn't mean that we don't have to work on oil and natural gas and everything else. we need to get off fossil fuel. and we need to do it with lightning speed. and there's no sign of that. just t

pollution will be pumped into our already carbon polluted skies thanks to the keystone x.l. . and we already know that the pipeline would carry intimate more than one hundred eighty million metric tons of c o two every year more c o two than fifty one coal plants put into the year review also acknowledges that approval of the keystone x.l. pipeline could expand tar sands oil production and the tar sands oil in particular presents many difficult challenges that's because tar sands oil is the dirtiest form of liquid fuel on planet earth takes a great deal of energy to extract it from the ground and clean it up tar sands oil is next to impossible which means a spill could have a riff effects on our nation's water supplies report also confirmed that the keystone project will not create many jobs despite claims from supporters of the pipeline. so will these new revelations be all the proof president obama needs to say no to be boiled and no to the keystone x.l. pipeline. joining me now for more on that is casey lefkowitz director of the international program with the national resou

>> well, from a standpoint of carbon, we reduced our carbon emissions level by 20% are largely due tonatural gas. we can't pick winners and losers. there is a viable reason that any of these forms of energy exists, and it is not going to be a flip of the switch to make those conversions. we are making significant investment in the energy industry and those alternative resources, so -- we can preclude one and explain things baby incorrectly or not so accurately when we're trying to make these difficult decisions. we're talking about ways to extract this resource. the land that is impacted, very small portion in the amount of oil that comes from oil sands thantripmining, is less 20%. 80% is done with the technology called in situ technology, which is quite similar to your typical well. you just go down in a hole and drill the oil out. that is 80% of how the resource is being extracted. from the president standpoint -- >> we're going to have to leave it there. i want to thank you both for being with us. i went to ask you to stay because i want a response on a different issue from you bef

are you talking about the gas carbon dioxide or carbon, just so i know?bout carbon dioxide. >> thank you. you're not talking about an elemental carbon. then why not call it carbon dioxide? >> you can indeed. it's just shorthand, if you would. it seems to me that we've got to get carbon dioxide emissions down and we can do it by changing the mix of energies. after all, gas is lighter than oil than it lighter than coal. and gas is very good in the energy mix. i'm a great proponent of frac'ing because i believe it can be done safely under the right regulations and policy. >> here's a question for you. i'm not a sicientisscientist. i don't know enough except what i read. do you have any skepticism that climate change is real? >> what i have is, we'll never know for sure until it's too late. we're dealing with probabilities. they're very difficult things to explain to everybody. my view is, take insurance out and try and push the technologies that we use to create energy, renewables, for example, to get them low cost, get them yubiquitous and get th energy mix

repeating this message of all of the above energy strategy which i think is very worrisome from a carbon climate perspective at the same time he's laid out a pretty clear standard in terms of that at what the national interest as you know i think it's pretty clear that this project does not meet that standard and josh i want to read a key part of the report that said approval of any big crude oil transport is unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction and the oil sands the continued demand for heavy crude oil refineries in the u.s. essentially crude oil will continue to be extracted no matter if the pipeline is built or not your response well i think there's a couple things to look at their first is crude oil is certainly going to keep coming out of the ground but this is a different type of oil this is a very heavy very very dirty oil and we know that under certain circumstances the demand for that oil is going to greatly decline and if we allow the keystone pipeline that's like lighting the fuse on the biggest carbon pollution ever that would be a real problem what kind of
