it can go a long ways towards reducing atmosphere come carbon. ensuring that carbon. if you think about what forests can do, not only can we sequester carbon in the trees, but we harvest the trees and women endless amount of storage for pulling the carbon out of the atmosphere, through the forest and in the building products and stored there. people are catching on to this especially my state we have a lot of beautiful forests. good sustainable forest and four street practices. the university of arkansas, where i didth my undergraduate work in engineering, they built to five-story mass timber dormitories. moved into them last fall they are the largest wooden building projects in the country. >> are those the safest and still are another building structure pretty. >> you have to meet all of the fire codes, there's been a lot of testing on using wood and buildings. if you think of a big log in a fire, the charge from the outside, takes a long time to burn into the middle. the neat thing about wood is it heats up, it retains its strength. since one of the first questions

carbon dioxide, since we've been measuring atmospheric carbon dioxide, in 1958 in hawaii, 315 parts per million, now it's 411 parts per million. using air pockets, we know that going back thousands of years, it had never been above 300 parts per million. >> so you're fairly concerned about man made climate change? >> yeah, there's no question that since 1800, we've put more carbon into the atmosphere. so you hear a lot of ideas about, we got to quit putting so much carbon in the atmosphere. people rarely stop and think, what do we do about the carbon already in the atmosphere? how do we get it out of the atmosphere? a tree, and that's the most effective tool. >> we'll go to linda from minnesota. hi there. >> caller: good morning, bemidgi, i'm up in the sticks in northern minnesota, i live in the forests. i'm 65 years old. both my parents worked in the forest industry. i planted my first tree when i was 1 year old and i have continued planting trees every year since then and i must say that, hey, after 65 years, it's finally great that the republicans are on board and think that this is

he started carbon gold.ays enhances soil fertility and removes carbon from the atmosphere. with us now is craig sams, executive chairman and founder, carbon gold. thank you for coming in. i guess the essence, the idea behind the company, is basically you want to monetise something that we all feel we need to do. if you emit carbon, you should pay a tax on it, you should pay for what you are emitting. if you take it out of the atmosphere, you should be rewarded for it. any action that removes carbon from the atmosphere, it looks up carbon from the atmosphere, it looks up in the soil or in a forest, or as we deal with biochar is keeping carbon, keeping the carbon level in the atmosphere down, counteracting emissions. your early slogan was ca ptu red emissions. your early slogan was captured carbon while you garden. explain what it does. the soil is a great carbon capture anyway. biochar is basically charcoal. it is council certified, very porous black carbon. when you put it in the soil, it increases the growt

and that makes combustion engines more carbon neutral. all have to strongly believes that synthetic fuels are the way forward and the only way the german government will be able to deliver on its 2050 climate action plan as i understand one aspect of the issue as i like for mobility or another is fuel cars and yet another key aspect is reducing the carbon footprint of the existing fuel powered fleet by using renewable energy and the fuel mix. but the approach also has some critics. they say making the electricity based fuels themselves requires a lot more electricity. then it takes to charge up fully electric cars. fuel cell vehicles. so they maintain it's a waste of energy. it's an argument that the tech team has heard before timbo says the argument is only legitimate in part because the production process for synthetic fuels will grow more efficient in time and in some sectors there is simply no alternative. so to. most muslims effected as repeating that synthetic fuels all the only solution in certain sectors such as aviation for the t

trees are the natural carbon catching device.hey store the carbon and release oxygen back into the atmosphere. there's a lot of research on this. there was a research paper from switzerland that said if we do we could050, the man-made of carbon released since the industrial revolution. i am led to see that the president endorsed this and mentioned it in his state of the union address. guy: good morning. the european union says it is going to be carbon neutral by 2050. when do we see a similar objective laid out by the united states? rep. westerman: the united states is actually doing a better job at reducing atmospheric carbon than anyone else in the world. the data shows we have reduced more carbon than the next 12 countries combined. this is something that is not new that we are tackling the problem of atmospheric carbon, but trees can be a critical part of that equation. if you think about all of the talk that's out there on reducing the amount of carbon that goes into the atmosphere, what you do with the 411 parts per million

so efforts in other parts of the world like europe to reduce carbon emissions may not make much of a difference the european union wants to make the steel industry carbon neutral by 2050 but that will clearly do little to change the global situation if the biggest polluters china the u.s. and india don't change their ways. will hole from the energy and resources institute says if india is serious about mitigating carbon dioxide emissions to prevent the worst effects of climate change in serious action needs to be taken well can india industrialize and become green. simply put yes but it will be difficult major economy as successfully industrialized while simultaneously reducing emissions so if india does it will be the 1st to do so. that said there are reasons to be hopeful india has limited domestic reserves of fossil fuels and so ends up importing huge quantities of oil natural gas and even coal. to reduce these imports great to parts of the economy can be switched to renewable electricity and this includes parts of transport industry and now the cost of a new bills that fall into

carbon.make a product out of it and the carbon stays in the wood as long as the structure is there. this table, part of it is wood underneath. you see wood all over the studio. that carbon was pulled out of the atmosphere years ago and is not getting into the atmosphere. sustainable building practices can go a long way toward reducing atmospheric carbon and storing that carbon. if you think about what forests can do, not only can we sequester carbon in the trees but we can harvest those trees and have an endless amount of storage to pull carbon out of the atmosphere. people are catching on to this, especially in my state where we have a lot of beautiful forest, good, sustainable forestry practices. the university of arkansas where i did my undergraduate work in engineering, the two five-story mass timber dormitories are the largest wooden building project in the country. host: are those as safe as steel or concrete? guest: you put the design standards out and have to meet the fire codes. ther

how do they make savings on carbon?s and sources of funding for carbon saving projects that would otherwise never happen. they make a real difference. i support those initiatives but not as an excuse to keep flying as we are. the announcement this morning that we are going to be emitting 70% more carbon or 70% more flights, we cannot do that. yes, i support those initiatives but they do not mean that we can't look at ourselves as an industry and individuals and acknowledge we have to put this carbon into the atmosphere. we have ten yea rs carbon into the atmosphere. we have ten years left. a very short period of time in which all sectors, including aviation, need to reduce the amount of carbon they put into the amount of carbon they put into the atmosphere. he says you should be saying to people, you have to fly less, sorry about that. this is really challenging for everyone. you're not going to do that? really challenging for everyone. you're not going to do that7m really challenging for everyone. you're not going to d

something else helping them is the move to cut carbon emissions.n the guardian as well, the greta thunberg effect which is inspiring a whole new generation of online activists. that's right. linked to the previous item with 0fcom, we've seen a lot of teenagers getting involved in political campaigns, driven by the fact that they have a belief in a particular cause and we called this the greater effect when it comes to 0fcom's piece. there is the summit taking place in britain, that story also in the guardian, run clinic change. this is also linked to the fact the government is looking to phase out petrol and diesel vehicles five years ahead of schedule —— on climate change. that is a big ambition. it's only five years and the technology is advancing all the time. the other thing is the carbon neutral by 20110, how many other countries are signed up to that?” think very few at this point. a lot of it will come in this summit that the uk government is organising shortly. but it is dividing opinion. claire 0'neill who was previously tasked with runnin

it also can't look to carbon offsetting in order to keep things business as usual.e industry is aware it needs to reduce its carbon emissions dramatically or risk having its wings clipped by regulators. that's it for the business briefing this hour, don't go away, coming up next, news briefing. a bbc documentary has discovered that the full implementation of universal credit will be delayed again until 2024 costing an additional 500 million pounds. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. universal credit is the biggest welfare reform in a generation. six benefits of becoming one monthly payment, as there is more emphasis on getting a job. how much longer do need to be doing thisjob search how much longer do need to be doing this job search thing? stress. he we got a little bit ofa stress. he we got a little bit of a problem... this senior civil servant is responsible for making the benefit system works properly. fewer people than expected have so far applied for universal credit. we got a lot of anecdotal evidence about people scared to come to un

you look at the world of business and economics this week. 2 nations taking different approaches to carbon emissions despite unprecedented bushfires australia pushes ahead with a controversial coal project we're on the ground with the community that stands to benefit from the country's biggest mine. germany plans to eliminate coal powered stations but the government's accused of breaking its promises to replace coal with more environmentally friendly sources of electricity. and shipping the unseen polluter industry crucial to the global economy moving goods worth trillions of dollars across our seas what's the industry doing to reduce its emissions. so that global carbon dioxide emissions harmful gases behind global warming and climate change held steady for the 1st time in 3 years in 2019 the international energy agency says that was thanks to a switch from coal power to renewables in advanced economies united nations estimates that the world needs to reduce coal fired electricity by 2 thirds in the next decade to meet the goals of the parents climate change agreement right now our pursui

from the other one has made a pledge to be carbon neutral by 2013. —— 2030. ratcliffe, they've invested millions in sport in the last couple of years, laura scott was at the royal automobile club in london today. ineos now enters the fast lane. for its billionaire founder sirjim ratcliffe it's the latest to drive the synergy between technology and sport. but as with ineos‘s previous sporting investment it will come with a degree of scrutiny from those who have accused the form of greenwashing, not least because of formula 1's pledge to be carbon neutral by 2030. sirjim ratcliffe sees no issue. if cars reduce their weight they reduced their admissions. the engine is the most thermally effective engine on the earth. there are good things that come out of formula 1 that then passed down into automotive industry because it's at the cutting—edge of technology. if you flip over to ineos that is quite a strong argument one of the potential solutions to the carbon problem is a chemistry problem which is if you take the biggest fuel in the world, natural gas, methane,

need to get large-scale sources of low carbon energy.ost of these, these policies are so going to do that. at the moment, they're only really two practical ways to reduce carbon emissions nuclear power and substituting natural gas for coal. much of the environmental establishment opposes both of them. including the democratic candidates which is just insane. it is basically, they are not doing anything. climate change as an excuse them to adopt other policies that they like to award at the politically correct companies. in pushing agenda that is not helping the rest of us. in light of that response. >> tells a little bit about the plastic bag issue. it is fascinating. >> sharpe the plastic panic, goes back to the 70s. people like barry commoner who wanted to ban all of these plastic products because they all-male they were running out and petroleum. therefore we had to conserve our precious petroleum and we couldn't wasted on plastic. and then without panic, there were no reasons, is clogging trains and doing this and then climate change

plants are really good at turning carbon dioxide into carbon. we should let them do that and do that year round by helping farmers move to a system where they plant crops in the winter that make the soil healthier, make the food healthier for human consumsurtion, and create resilience for farmers to better resist the climate change, which if unmitigated look like they could present a 20% headwind when it comes to agricultural production in the country. that requires a marketplace, and indigo marketplace technology is designed to match buyers and sellers. and that's a real tough problem. i have sat at the farm gate with many, many farmers in my time at indigo around harvest time trying to make that decision of where and when to sell their grains. they're not armed with the same technologies as the big ag companies they're selling into. we work to democratize the intelligence it takes to make smart, rational decisions at that key moment, including learning how to sell carbon. one of the things we wanted to make sure to menth today as we speak with

when you talked about if you can reduce carbon, if you increase carbon they're not going to buy yourak for our investors, it is a group that is very focused on making money. not getting a subsidized return. not doing anything but making money. >> okay. >> and we get asked those good hard questions all the time. >> well, i mean, i think it's fair to say that exxon had a 7% yield today, exxon was once the premier company in this country, one of the top five companies, largest companies, even reaching these ten years ago but that is counter to what you do, and yet you still give a good yield. >> absolutely. >> well, when i look at this, i'm trying to figure out why -- who are still doing these projects in an era where president trump doesn't care about these things and likes coal. >> financial markets are quite different than politics. we're a 40-year-old company. we've seen a lot of things come and go in terms of the politics and policies of climate change we have 20 year, 25, 30 year assets these are going to be multiple administrations. we invest in a way that doesn't require support

we are running a carbon trunk line from some of our refineries that are capturing carbon and it willnjecting into our sedimentary conventional oil basin to allow for enhanced oil recovery with a net negative carbon score. so that kind of -- it's a p3 project and we see a lot of opportunity for that in the future. second is alberta -based companies want to invest billions of dollars and modernizing and expanding energy infrastructures in your states. for example, and bridge, the largest pipeline country north america based in alberta, is seeking to spend $600 million to modernize the line five a project that is 60 years old under the straits of mackinac to make it safe and buried under the lake bed. to be a reliable supplier of energy to the upper midwest for years to come. just met with the governor of minnesota for their effort as well to replace a 60-year-old pipe through minnesota to wisconsin through line three to create modern and safe technology. a lot safer than moving energy by train, and finally the keystone xl project rtc energy is planning to spend billions of dollars thro

it's a collective action problem and a genuine threat and looking for ways to get low carbon energyf. we have ten more years now before. of less carbon we put in the atmosphere to better but the other t aspect is they basically are enriching off doing any good at one of the statistics i've seen is that the united states has withdrawn -- the merchants conference and a signed treaties create a lot of work for them but you don't see an impact, and the united states is reducing carbon emissions more than germany because germany signed the treaty they are behind schedule and the u.s. is ahead and the reason is because we have not succumb to the panic of banning and starting a closed nuclear power plant which germany has done and also the main reason we are reducing the emissions like some of the so-called countries is that we have tracking and reducing the emissions. it doesn't fit the narrative that we have to have. windmills ar are flying to go bt they are not going to make aff difference in the long run. we need to get more large-scale sources of low carbon energy and most of the polici

bp says it will use carbon capture technology and tree planting to cut its net carbon emissions to zero's new boss. but the reality is we are seen by many as a source of the problem and worse still an obstacle of the problem and worse still an o bsta cle to of the problem and worse still an obstacle to solving it. on my first day last week, protesters forced us to shut down our headquarters, and they aren't the only ones who believe we are out of step with society. so investors do as well. and some of our own staff also. and thatis and some of our own staff also. and that is an uncomfortable place to be and let me be very clear today that i get it. the world does have a carbon budget, it is finite and it is running out fast and we need a rapid transition to net zero. bp's new boss there but oxfam says bp is using a shiny net zero promises as a cover to continue extracting oil and gas stop if we are to reach net zero, then companies like bp must invest meaningfully in low carbon technologies. joko widodo in an exclusive interview with the bbc says he is pressing ahead with moving the cou

parts of the rain forests have started to admit more carbon dioxide thanit started to admit more carbon wales and duchess of cornwall have carried out a rare joint engagement with the duke and duchess of cambridge. the four royals all visited a military rehabilitation centre in leicestershire. it's thought to be the first time they have carried out such a visit, as a foursome, since 2011. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. it was a show of family unity, on a rare joint public engagement. the prince of wales and duchess of cornwall and the duke and duchess of cambridge. with no meghan and no harry, this foursome is now the public, working face of the royal family alongside the queen. together, they toured the defence medical rehabilitation centre just outside loughborough. for william, the wheelchair basketball was a challenge. luckily, today, dad was on hand to help improve his game. although the expert view was harsh. clearly hasn't played basketball for a while, and it's a bit nerve—racking in front of everyone but dad gave him moral support and he managed to get it in on

are we reducing fossil fuels in the way we can bend the arc of carbon pollution to get carbon neutral by 2050? mr. johnson? >> we're making an effort to do that. that's the standard in california. it will be difficult to do that. we don't have the technology to do it today. part of setting a standard and a goal is that you're going to have to figure out how to do it and make the tech nonology. pg&e, electricity last year was 80% carbon free. we're moving to that standard. the closer you get, the harder it gets. that's the nature of things. >> we said we would go to the moon and we did. i believe in american ingenuity. mr. markam? >> central electric and throughout oregon, we're about 97% carbon emission free right now. our growth -- i think the most important thing is protecting our hydro power. that's critical. the state has been working to -- we had a carbon plan last year. we're looking at it this year in the legislative session with utilities and larger utilities like we are as a co-op. technology is going to have to improve as far as battery storage. in oregon, in my area, for us

carbon dioxide is the problem.reenhouse gases are the problem. but buzz there is so much carbon dioxide, it is the main thing that we need to address. and this whole idea -- >> you mean, the stuff that kills you if you park your car in the garage and close the door? >> that's also carbon monoxide which replaces oxygen on your hemoglobin in your blood. it's not that perfect, but carbon dioxide holds in heat on the earth. and without carbon dioxide -- >> are you saying dioxide or -- >> monoxide is what you use to kill yourself or your rival, and dioxide is what plants transpire to breathe. i was trying to gently point out that carbon dioxide is not how you kill yourself, although you could, sure. >> i understand. i misheard you, not misunderstood you. anyway, the end of 2019 the trump administration had rolled back 95 environmental rules according to "the new york times." so here's the question. people act like we can't fix things, we can't change patterns. i remember l.a. when you flew out there 20, 30 years ago, it

so she will change and the center fuel can be almost carbon neutral as long as the entire production process is powered only by excess electricity from renewable sources. but it's still early days for synthetic fuels to last more than a business the next release of oil as we are from the literal truth of the ringle river as are the stories about your latest project really well as it is all tongues tales of the new world order this is our politics and all these electricity based since fuels have some minor disadvantages all that green electricity has to be generated in the 1st place and that can only happen when they're set up. with water . to produce enough if you will for all of germany's transport needs it would take around half of all the electricity currently generated in the entire country since fuels aren't cheap either about 4 years 50 a liter is there a less expensive way. i visited one of the country's water port loss which powers its deliberate fleet with the synthetic bio diesel it's produced mainly from edible fats waste. and the company prides itself on being carbon neut

they said the aviation industry is committing to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.from smarter flight reductions can come from smarter flight operations, sustainable aviation fuel, they think the uk can become a leader in developing sustainable aviation fuel, but at the same time they say they can accommodate 70% growth in passenger numbers by mid—century. the art of the possible. do you think those two goals can be accommodated?” the possible. do you think those two goals can be accommodated? i start looking at this rather cynically. it says we can carry on with business as usual in these things will happen in future which will sort it out. don't worry your pretty little heads about doing anything right now about containing aviation demand, we will sort it out. a traffic management, 0k, marginal, but i think it is speculative and has a terrible track record in delivery, it is implicated in deforestation. there is upsetting, terrible track record, you cannot see that playing a part in the fuel efficiency gains are quite slow. it all adds up to say, yeah, we will do n

the amazon rainforest is this massive carbon sink.ed to take 2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere every year, they estimated to slower now. but these estimates. what i have seen is unpublished results of new research, a study that spanned a decade, where scientists threw an aeroplane over certain points of the amazon twice a month for ten years measured the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, so they got very accurate readings of that, and what they found was startling. in four fifths of the amazon it acts as a carbon sink there is this big portion in the south—east that is in fact emitting more carbon than it absorbs, and it did that for all the years of the study. you would expect some variation within this study are appear to get worse. and this got scientists worried because everyone talked about an amazon tipping point where the forest as a whole ceases to renew itself and emits more carbon than it absorbs, and the results of this study seem to suggest that might be closer than we previously thought. i spoke to
