transitioning to a low carbon economy by investing in other low and zero carbon options reaching that zero carbon emissions will not only address climate change, it will deliver economic benefits. in closing i'm here today both as a climate expert and as a mom. i have two young children, aged 11 and 13, and like many of you with young people in your lives, i'm aware that the choices we make today, choices that you in congress have the power to help make, will be deeply consequential to their future. i hope you will seize the opportunity to make the future generations possible without fear of runaway climate change. thank you for the opportunity to testify. >> thank you. mr. hodges, you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. good morning, chair woman castor, ranking member graves, and members of the select committee. my name is steve hodges and i represent the house of delegates located in the heart of virginia's rural coastal region. i also have the distinct pleasure of serving as the chair of the joint commission on coastal flooding and serve as a general assembly state water

and once you've captured the carbon, the next problem is what you're going to do with it?ny r&d projects under way trying to make use of the c02, so that it's notjust rubbish, but we can actually make something valuable from it. we can use the c02 to create drinks, beers or soda or whatever. we can also use c02 forfuel production. there are also currently studies ongoing to see if we can somehow use the c02 as a building material. yeah, in the future we may be able to lock c02 into concrete. although the amount of rock we'd create has been estimated to cover a landmass the size of egypt. and, in fact, to do this any other way also requires a scale that is pretty unimaginable. you could say we can do it with trees and real forests, and you can calculate if you wanted to do the same 100 million of these units in forests or any agriculture, any photosynthetic substance, you suddenly realise that the land area or the area you need is larger than current agriculture. you know, pastoral lands, fields, everything added, we would need more than that. this is quite a scene. the dan

the air was paper suggesting carbon capture from the airwasa paper suggesting carbon capture from theeasible way of combating climate change. the problem was no—one seems to be listening. if you look at the climate change problem, in the ‘90s we had models which told us it was happening, but you couldn't really set out in the real world, except with a microscope. in the 2000 ‘s you could measure it. it was happening. in the teens, now, you can see it happen, even as a non— expert. climate has changed. in the next decade, as it grows out of the noise, it becomes loud and clear and it starts to hurt. and once it heard people say "what will we do about it"?. klaus argues that since we are failing to meet our targets carbon ca ptu re failing to meet our targets carbon capture from the air is now unavoidable. and now people are listening. as technology has recently received commercial investment. we have put so much c02 in the airthat investment. we have put so much c02 in the air that we actually have to come back. so we call ourselves negative carbon emissions because we are thinking abo

hands that draw in air and bind carbon molecules of the filters. the carbon free air is released back into the atmosphere the c o 2 is super heated and collect this gas i like to call it low tech not high tech and it's actually very simple the challenging part is making it work and making it cheap. in just 2 years they've opened the plants in switzerland icelandic italy. they believe they could remove 10 percent of the carbon the i.p.c.c. wants cuts. their 1st target is one percent by 2025. it's like 300000000 tonnes of c o 2 and that we're require a quarter 1000000 machines. but in this developmental stage removing just one tonne of carbon costs at an economical $600.00 us dollars we are confident that in the next 2 to 3 years we will have our cost and the ranch off 2 to $300.00 per tonne and the mid to long term and that's for us 2025 to 2030 and we see cost as $100.00 as feasible. so the big question is what do you do with all this captured c o 2 well fortunately in this case there's a greenhouse just 300 meters away so half of the carbon sucked

most other tech companies do not and they have a huge carbon footprint.ly: we all get so many amazon boxes and we do not know what to do with them, isn't that a problem? >> it is an economic problem and we are filled with them. emily: this is happening at the same time the trump administration is rolling back much of the work president obama did on climate change and in a way these investors are fighting an uphill battle. can corporations lead sustainability when perhaps the political winds are blowing elsewhere? >> it is not necessarily the case that corporations and the private sector have to be led by the hand, by the federal government in terms of regulation and some discipline. the fact of the matter is this is good for business, thinking about not only climate change risk but climate change opportunity. we talked about the carbon disclosure project but we have the task force for climate financial disclosure, which gives companies a robust methodology by sector to really think about a wide range of risk and wide range of opportunity. this is an altru

carbon taxes were front and center. in the elections inside the two parties, one inside the labor party and one inside the more conservative party, each time, the guy who was more for a carbon tax got kicked out because he was killing the whole party. there is no one inside the democratic party with the governor like that to say to do this, and they keep drifting for some reason to the left. without focusing on it -- someone have to be smart over hillary clinton's political advisers said this wonderful -- sent this wonderful email that got caught up and shared with the world. we looked at the polling on the carpet tax. -- carbon tax. it sucks. hillary clinton was smart enough to know that you did not want to touch it. you might be for it, but don't tell anybody that. biden is leading with his chin on this. he is old enough to her member walter -- to remember mondale. he was supposed to beat reagan in the polls. reagan was not very popular, it had not turned around yet, and then walter mondale said, i will raise your tax

carbon. an increasingly farmers are adjusting their practices to increase soil health which makes farms more resilient to the impacts of extreme weather and increases carbon stored in the soil. as we continue our work, we are looking for solutions to the climate crisis that provide multiple benefits that reduce carbon pollution, that protect communities and produce good jobs. the cost of the climate crisis are already adding up, and it's time that we invest in climate solutions instead. but it's more than just dollars. it's about leaving our children a cleaner, safer and healthier world. the millions of young people who are joining climate strikes tomorrow, fridays for the future, never lived in a normal climate, and they know it. that's why they're demanding climate action now because we need to start baking the climate crisis into every decision we make. on energy, on transportation, on agriculture, and infrastructure. the climate crisis is here, and we need to act like it. this is personal

the answer, said carbon, is quite simple.r money. >> potentially, yes. >> money, in the form of an insurance policy. >> i think that he wanted out of the marriage and did whatever he needed to do to make sure that that happened. >> and if he got $310,000 in insurance money and got out of the marriage, so much the better? >> yes. >> the evidence against tom foley was circumstantial but compelling. you think he faked that burglary? >> yes. >> and killed his wife? >> yes. >> they never found the murder weapon. what do you think happened to the gun? >> i wish i knew. >> but even without it, in march of 2009, one month after dar foley was gunned down in her shower, state police arrested tom foley and charged him with his wife's murder. >> and i just -- what? why? i was, like, this could not be happening. why do you think i did this? i did not kill my wife. >> to tom and dar's close friends, the pierces, news of tom's arrest was almost as stunning as the news of dar's death. could you conceive of tom either hating his wife so much

using this, they claim to be able to capture way more carbon than klaus's artificial trees.carbon, the next problem is — what are you going to do with it? there are so many r&d projects under way trying to make use of the c02, so that it's notjust rubbish, but we can actually make something valuable from it. we can use the c02 to create drinks, beers or soda or whatever. we can also use c02 forfuel production. there are also currently studies ongoing to see if we can somehow use the c02 as a building material. yeah, in the future we may be able to lock c02 into concrete. although the amount of rock we'd create has been estimated to cover a landmass the size of egypt. and, in fact, to do this any other way also requires a scale that is pretty unimaginable. you could say we can do it with trees and real forests, and you can calculate if you wanted to do the same 100 million of these units in forests or any agriculture, any photosynthetic systems, you suddenly realise that the land area or the area you need is larger than current agriculture. you know, pastoral lands, fields, e

elections but then those two elections inside each time he was for carbon tax he got forced t out. there isho nobody inside the party to say that they don't do this and for whatever reason they keep drifting to the left without focusing on this hillary clinton's political fight advisor sent an e-mail that got caught up and shared with the world will look at the carbon tax. the explanation of what this does politically. but you don't tell anybody that and then bided is bold enough to remember walter mondale he was running ahead of reagan in the polls and he had not turned around yet. and walter mondale says i will raise your taxes. and then said he will raise your r taxes. if we continue that strong economic growth it is almost as big as the tax cut continuing to move forward and strengthen but to make everything you buy more expensive with pennsylvania indiana and ohio would just what you need for the electoral college when it is unwise of the democrats to take this approach. it is virtuous to tell the trut truth. >> one or two more calls before the house comes in democratic line.

we start our journey in a city moving on from carbon. few places are as eager as copenhagen to get power from wind and even in this weather from sun. know where this plane came into ditch cars that box. klaus bonded is director of the danish cyclists federation and a former mayor of the city. he's leading its push to be the 1st carbon neutral capital by 2020. i do believe that there is a strong political consensus in denmark that we need to act it's pretty cold right now but we have an extremely hot shot it didn't rain for 2 and half months here. but nothing says why is there something going on. and i think we have to realize that something is going to. copenhagen has been breaking all records in traditional ways to clean here. according to the speaker's 1631 box of cross this bridge this morning alone in the past year it's been 3519062 it's extraordinary but the problem is no matter how much we ride them or how much we recycle the matter how fast communities transition to renewables it's probably not going to be faster now because gover

that is a huge carbon footprint.: we all get so many amazon boxes and we don't want to do -- know what to do with them. abe: i would love to find a sustainable packaging solution to replace the boxes. it is an economic problem, but we are filled with them. emily: this is all happening at that the trump administration is rolling back the work president obama did on climate change. these investors are fighting an uphill battle. can corporations really lead on sustainability when perhaps the political winds are blowing elsewhere? jesse: it is not really the case that corporations and the private sector have to be led by the hands of government in terms of regulation. the fact of the matter is that this is good for business. thinking about not only climate change risks but climate change opportunities. we were talking a couple of minutes ago about the carbon disclosure project. we now have a task force for climate financial disclosure which i think gives companies a robust methodology by sector to think about a wide rang

who said is a city built on carbon. last mining fossil fuels is as much a part of texan culture as raising cattle or boots good. but these days big energy is trying to sidestep demands to cut production. its response is a much touted technology to cut the carbon footprint. for today we're heading out to texas is the biggest pal plant it's a pioneer of what the industry likes to call clean call. this is paid for no. it's a coal fired generation with a $1000000000.00 absorption to our unit that last after the coal is burned be a missions of pumps through it and solvent collects much of the c o 2 before it hits the atmosphere. it's early days to get excited. the tower captures carbon from just one of the complexes 10 generating units. what's more it doesn't actually reduce emissions over all. the captured carbon is pumped in liquid form enjoy the oil field. they put c o 2 in an oil field and you get more oil right as company spokesman david knox explains it breaks up stubborn deposits so they can extract more oil fields. t

since 2010, the united kingdom has d carbonized our economy faster than any other. we generate now a record amounts of electricity from renewable energy substances and we have just gone through the longest period in our history without relying on electricity generated from coal. appears to be the labour party's declared policy which is to reopen the coal mines but not to burn the coal that they mine. >> the labour party does not condone the reopening of any coal mines for use for anything. once again, mister speaker, he referred to climate emissions reductions that were implemented using labor policies that have since been dismantled and not only is the government failing to meet its target but the smallest drop in carbon emissions in the last 6 years, just 2%. at that rate is would take until the end of this century to reach net 0 emissions. just yesterday the financial times reported the government is accused of trying to fill its emissions figures ignoring it's official advises was let me ask the right honorable gentlemen to policy question. the labour party has

the other stream of gas is carbon dioxide, pure carbon dioxide, and they're selling that.into lager and lemonade. you can't taste it, of course. near swindon, they're making fertiliser with c02. the first ingredient is this fibrous stuff, it's left over after you've put cow dung into a biogas digester, like the one we just saw. this stuff is low in nutrients, little use for crop fertiliser, so the firm adds a liquid waste from the fertiliser industry, along with nutrients and, crucially, co2. here's what you get — little pellets of top—class fertiliser. what's most satisfying for us is to take a material like carbon dioxide, which is fundamentally useless, as far as most people are concerned, and positively harmful, and then transform that into something that is beneficial. these technologies won't solve climate change but they will help, a bit. roger harrabin, bbc news. mps will vote on whether to approve the new 2050 climate change target later today. if passed, it would bring into law a commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 — which would make britain the

you talk about introducing a realistic price on carbon. a sort of fundamental pillar ofa carbon.illar of a new economy, a clean economy, how much is the price on carbon in europe going to have to rise for it to be realistic and effective in achieving this transition because yellow i think if you look at the estimates of scientists are giving you they will say a carbon price that goes in the direction of a0 euros or 50 euros, doubling the current price, is needed to get it started. you're absolutely right. then it will increase further. but an immediate doubling of the carbon price is needed stop by the french government's independent counsel for economic analysis, you will know, recently reported, and i'm quoting them, that "the left behind to lose them, that "the left behind to lose the most from higher carbon costs. them, that "the left behind to lose the most from higher carbon costsi energy needs take up more of the poohs energy needs take up more of the poor‘s budget, they live in places that are more dependent on cars, they are less well—placed to invest in energy saving ve

price in sweden it's $120.00 euros per ton of c o 2 emission now you've bench in carbon price and we said earlier that this gathering in bonn is that there to resolve outstanding issues that weren't agreed upon before carbon trading is one of those issues in your view what's left to be done with regard to this topic well in most places in the world there is no carbon price so it is basically free to pollute the atmosphere was used to yet that cause as costs there much costs from extreme weather events for example and it's a measure of elementary justice that those that course that also pay the price that pollute to pace principle and also that gives innovative technologies clean technologies a fair chance while emitting c o 2 is free will always betting against this with the transformation to renewable energies for example so isn't this just the way for richer countries to be able to pay their way to be allowed to pollute. no it's not it's basically essential part of getting out of the c o 2 emissions because as i said we're fighting against the market prices if making is simply free

we start our journey in a city moving on from carbon. few places are as eager as copenhagen to get power from wind and even in this weather from sun. know where this plane came into ditch cars that parks. klaus bonded as director of the danish cyclists federation and a former mayor of the city. he's leading it's push to be the 1st carbon neutral capital by $22.00 which. i do believe that there is a strong political consensus in denmark that we need to act it's pretty cold right now but we have an extremely hot shot it didn't rain for 2 and half months here. but nothing says why is there something going on. and i think we have to realise that something is going to. copenhagen has been breaking all records in traditional ways to clean air. that according to this peter 1631 box of cross this bridge this morning alone in the past year it's been 3519062 it's extraordinary but the problem is no matter how much we ride them or how much we recycle the matter how fast communities transition to renewables it's probably not going to be faster now b

tech's carbons footprint? don't usually equate them with power plants or the makers of bluejeans, for example, but they do have a bigger carbon footprint in a different way? from serverint is farms. a big push ton think in terms of sustainability, not just in terms of primary energy generation but also in terms of offset. i think, as you suggest, the next frontier is thinking across the organization, the enterprise-level, to think about climate change and climate adaptation from primarily a risk management point of view. emily: what is your take on some new companies whose feet are held to the fire? >> it depends what new companies you are talking about. in the tech world, many of them are forward thinking about sustainability and impact for their shareholders, customers, and employees. there's a whole host of different methodologies that you can measure. there's over 150 different frameworks used. one of the most frequently cited is the carbon disclosure project. howy: how would you rate tech companies are at

using this, they claim to be able to capture way more carbon than klaus's artificial trees.ext problem is — what are you going to do with it? there are so many r&d projects under way trying to make use of the c02, so that it's notjust rubbish, but we can actually make something valuable from it. we can use the c02 to create drinks, beers or soda or whatever. we can also use c02 forfuel production. there are also currently studies ongoing to see if we can somehow use the c02 as a building material. yeah, in the future we may be able to lock c02 into concrete. although the amount of rock we'd create has been estimated to cover a landmass the size of egypt. and, in fact, to do this any other way also requires a scale that is pretty unimaginable. you could say we can do it with trees and real forests, and you can calculate if you wanted to do the same 100 million of these units in forests or any agriculture, any photosynthetic systems, you suddenly realise that the land area or the area you need is larger than current agriculture. you know, pastoral lands, fields, everything add

she said the science and measuring the carbon -- the social cost of carbon is proven true. factual, it's not true. the science isn't there. we actually don't have a good method to measure the social cost of carbon. that's why the whole issue is it can easily be manipulated to fit whatever model they choose which means they can pick and choose what type of energy we're able to produce and how we produce it. meaning, they can choose, not the consumer, can choose to say we no longer want to have fossil fuels as a choice. we only want renewables. if we're going to be all-of-the-above country, we are going to embrace industry and entrepreneurs, then we have to embrace all of the above. if consumers don't want that, if certain states don't want to buy fossil fuel energy, then they can do so. in oklahoma, we're all of the above. not only are we a leader in producing fossil fuels, but we're also the third largest in producing renewables also. we believe all of the above, and our neighbor in texas, while they are a leader in producing oil, they're the number one in renewables. isn't
