climate change versus climate change economics. trends, o talk about a which is to ignore the hard steps in the middle. headline he recent grabbing studies that you may passing don't senior changes or human progress. they do a temp tire knack core lings study. today, what study happens when we see minor variations from year to year, human e effect on mortality, economic growth, let's productivity, and imagine that that relationship for 100 years. it we find that in a year, has one extra hot day. let's assume that at some point in the future you have 100 clues days. obviously 4,000 people will die. take the preach you take numbers. they are not related to reality, they describe a universe in which people don't adapt. we assume no adaptation as if that makes it okay. i could write a study saying assumes martians land on earth and fix climate change, the cost that i extrapolate from that is not good. and the cost extrapolated from people that don't adapt doesn't tell us anything useful about climate change. this is an example of this,

change is nonpartisan. of the things that boggles the mind is in the last generation how is it we banned smoking, no one lets a friend drive drunk, we celebrate a weddings and guns are everywhere just like cigarettes a couple years ago, we had open carry, state preemption and the deliberate systematic action of these movements and one party hasn't prevailed, the tea partiers and libertarians win and democrats and prevention. face doesn't tell you, god isn't on anyone's side of these issues. of multiple gods are involved, there is clearly not consensus. so party doesn't tell you. if change is deliberate it has to do with the way these movements are led. the work of the nonprofits and individual behind them is deliberate and it doesn't happen by chance. each of these changes that happened in our lifetimes, enormous effort. we didn't stop smoking because it went out of fashion and decided it was bad for us, the tobacco industry was making sure we were going to stick with it. straight people didn't just wake up

changed. you are talking about corruption and things like this. for me, you need to look at the people first, whatple want and how you educate the people. >> thank you. >> okay. the united states does not use food as a weapon. the maduro regime uses food as a weapon. i'm not privy to discussions thatay have internally, but i am confident they are making every effort possible to get food assistance into venezuela as quickly and possible and making no other calculation about that. the reason that food is not getting in is because the venezuelan government is blocking it. the usad has an office in miami. food and supplies could arrive in hours. if their own government decides right now that they will accept humanitarian assistance, that food will be down there today, tomorrow. there's only one thing blocking that from happening. obviously the united states has been providing financial assistance to colombia and to the u.n. network to provide as much humanitarian assistance and neighboring countri

there is a huge change coming.nd it will take, i would say, 15 to 20 years to really get at the end of this shift, so a huge transition ongoing with shocks in different parts of the world. the base of install capacity that needs to be substituted is very large. it has been accumulated over a period of 56 years, so it will take time, but it is ongoing and will not stop. francine: what is the catalyst of change, political power, asking the utilities to be more environmentally friendly, or the price of renewables came down to competitiveness with the old-school fuel? francesco: originally, it was some kind of political decision that triggered the first moves. without that, probably it would have taken a longer time, but today it is mostly economics . that are economics driving the change today, widely everywhere in the world. so i would say it is no more political. it has been at the beginning. now it is just the pure technology revolution and the economics that come with it. francine: the competition is changing. ger

one thing of change, change of the actual and common steaks. and the other thing is what is the final goal that we are looking and building for. which is the free expression of theed have people. and for people in venezuela and abroad, it seems so awkward that we're talking about the election. it has a real argument, we don't have an election, maybe we thought you. we said that to the so-called elections. thats this is the role i have to play democratic leaders in venezuela and democratic leaders who support real elections in venezuela. but not in a naive way. but under the role consciousness of being very aware that you're facing a dictatorship in venezuela. it's the weren't why the implements, about the humanitarian crisis, about our the approach to the national-s international community. but with the final goal, elections and freedom for the people, no matter what could cost, this change in venezuela, it would be a social explosion. it would be a military action. it would be an organization with a note. with the final goal that is a democrat

the fact is, i had to change my number. but then we made a plan. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. . . welcome to the 34th annual prince fast. i want to give you special thank you to all of our sponsors. it will be broadcast live on book tv. there will be time at the end of the session for q&a. we ask that you use the microphone off to the side so we can hear your important? before we begin the program we have for you turn off your cell phones. >> i am here is the former havana bureau chief for the chicago tribune. i was based there from 2002 until 2000 cell 2007 where my journal were pulled because of the human rights and other issues. wanted to begin by saying welcome to everyone here and it is ain great time to be talking about cuba. obviously with the death of fidel castro in the recent announced resignation of raul castro even from the top position in government and also the collapse of venezuela economically which has been the financial patron saint of cuba over the last couple of decadesc

we talk about what moves these changes and who's behind. or back with stepladder obviously. when power is changed or comes into power brings new sets of rules new teams so your successor. in fi thought also brought a new team he changed everyone completely. most of the people in power are now former football players i don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing i don't know what feeds on eats rather football players or x. coaches or good managers maybe you can tell me but also if you want to create an extended version of a club world cup there would be held every four years and twenty four club teams would take part i don't really understand the logic behind it i mean feel free explains that this is actually a great idea i will bring more competition to the game will make it more interesting for the fans. a couple of points did i want to ask you about first will . the football players i mean will they be so tired of playing this endless tournaments because there are just so many of them you know these are world cup the regional champions

changes possible. changes of nonpartisan. one of the things that boggles the mind is in the last generation, how is it that we banned smoking. no one with a friend drive drunk, we celebrate gay weddings and guns are everywhere just like cigarettes a couple of years ago. we have open carry. we have state preemption. all of that was the deliberate systematic action of these movements and one party hasn't prevailed. sometimes the tea party and the libertarian wins and sometimes the democrats and-- when. party doesn't tell you what will when. god is not on any one side or the issue and if the multiple gods are involved there is no consensus. so, faith party doesn't help you changes deliberate. we know it has to do with the way these movements are led, the work of the nonprofits and individuals behind them pick its deliberate and each of these changes that have happened in our lifetime are the result of enormous effort. we didn't just stop smoking because it went out of fashion we decided. the tobacco industry was making sure we w

from land use change. so we've seen, we sort of have a sense of what that looks like. it's not the end of the world, but it's some real tragedies. and so i think it's important not to only talk about in the dollar context, but to also sort of force anyone to think about what they're talking about. they tell me it's expensive and warrants an extensive response or are you telling me this is one to have the million things that's going to change about our society that we should be aware of. >> time for one more question. back of the room. >> vo have you spoke b b on campuses and what has been the reaction? >> i speak a lot on campuses. one of my favorite things to do because their reactions are very interesting. they are hearing one message and they perceive the other side to be climate change isn't real. they don't hear why there might be something in between those two extremes. i don't think that listening to these 12 slides would persuade someone that they should stop thinking about climate change, but my e

to larger changes. this just assumed that the temperature change will be 40 times bigger, the effect will be 40 times bigger. finally, an extremely weak correlation of strong predictive power. so, when you correlation your starting with is not especially strong one, then you magnify it, you're likely to end up especially far off. think abouto climate change more constructively, we have to start by thinking about adaptation, and understand adaptation is not something you just throw out there. it is a very real phenomenon we can study. in fact, have implications we should care about. there are a lot of different kinds we know about. there is biophysical adaptation. you feel different after being in a place that is hot for a wild. there is behavioral adaptation. see how atlanta deals with inch of snowfall. [laughter] as you get more accustomed to a given condition, to get better at dealing with it. there is social adaptations. we do not play baseball in the winter. they do play baseball in the winter in fl

i think the world of work has changed and we have got to change with it.ndustries that are notoriously low paid like hospitality, shops, the ca re paid like hospitality, shops, the care industry. but on top of that, they are much more likely to be on insecure contracts than other workers, so 0—hours contracts agency contracts. for a lot of young people this is their mainstream experience. we know that we have got the change. the economy has gone digital so we need to go digital, too. we also need to go digital, too. we also need to go digital, too. we also need to listen to young people and hear what it is they want to change about their working lives to make a better and how we come in and help. the image we have here on the screen is of people sitting in an office, but the reality for a lot of people under 30 that doesn't represent how they work. they are in the gig economy. could the union movement not perhaps, with that movable scale of membership fees, so it reflects the fact that some months people's wages will be higher, some months slower. they can

vast majority of the changes here. the other base estimate that's on the expenditure side, we had slightly higher expenditures in h.i. for 2017 and so we built that into the projections. that has somewhat higher pressure there. the private health plan assumptions, that's, there's some higher medicare advantage payments in this year's projection, as compared to last year. hospital assumptions, that's the slower rate of utilization growth. that's put in there. other provider assumption, not just hospital, but other providers have slightly slower growth rates. other economic and demographic assumptions. the fact that economic assumptions are a little bit lower. so not as fast growth in the price piece of medicare payments. this legislative changes, the most significant piece here is the, the ipad removal. but there's the uncompensated care piece is also a factor in this legislative effect. so that's the big picture in terms of walking through the h.i. balance has changed from last year. this is the picture of the cost rat

growth and that would change the dynamics of always going for more and more g.d.p. even though much of this g.d.p. growth might be repairing massive environmental damage and is so is not a net benefit to humanity as a whole broad as i would nurse present thank you both that's it for the show we're back on wednesday world refugee day till then people talked with us about social media we'll see on wednesday wolf tones birthday i'm one hundred eighteen years to the day the mother that you can learn your the hets one movement for u.s. marines and beijing's books are about. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murderer i would prefer it be to win the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying and there's just no way that doesn't mean that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is beca

call and congress could change it. congress could pass a law. house speaker paul ryan runs the house. kevin mccarthy runs the house. any indication that they will try to take action and should they try to maybe craft some stand alone legislation to fix this problem right now? >> if there was stand alone legislation to address this i'm sure it would get north of 300 votes. you have to ask them. allegedly we will be voting on two pieces of immigration bills this week. i have read both of them. neither one of them have legislation in it that directly addresses this situation of separating kids from their parents. and what has happened for us to have to craft legislation to say don't pull kids out of the arms of their mothers? we shouldn't be at this point. the land of the free and home of the brave we shouldn't be using kids for deterrents. >> you mentioned that you were not getting answers from doj, hhs, homeland security. have they been evasive? >> they just don't know. how long is this policy going to last? what are th

our approach to policy hasn't changed. and as i mentioned earlier, for a long time the economy has needed to accommodate monetary policy. as the economy has recovered, we've gn gradually raising rates. and we'll be at a place re soon when, again, assuming we stay on this pa when interest res will be in the zone of what the participants think is roughly neutral. and at that point it wou no longurate f us to say that the committee thinks that poli isccmodate tive. we know that's coming. we kind of don't think it's here yet. but it's certainly coming. and i think the market will understand that. i mean the real message is that you are getting close to the neutral rate. it's a characteristic about where the policy is. it's not a statement that should upset the markets. but we'll obviously discuss it carefully in meetings and communicate aut it. so. >> thank you very much. i'm from the japan newspaper. would youxpd on your views on the downside risks especially in regard to our trade issues? ny people are key allies of the unit

russia iran climate change world trade the list of issues on the g. seven summit agenda is long but it's far from clear if the leaders will be able to agree on anything substantial besides trumps tariffs on steel and aluminum from allies which splits the us from canada mexico and the e.u. there are strains even within the european bloc the new italian prime minister giuseppe conte has openly expressed support for president trump. with tensions rising and a possible trade war looming amongst close allies the future of the g. seven is hard to gauge many observers have said it's likely this summit will end without a joint communique signed off on by all its members. i'm now joined by having a greek from the think tank german council on foreign relations trump says he wants russia back in the g. seven fold why is he so keen on getting moscow back at the table here can avoid thinking that this might be an attempt to divert attention from the conflicts inside the g seven i think trump has understood that the g. seven isn't united against him in this case ja

they don't need legislation to change it. they don't ned democrats in order to change it. this is a department of justice policy. and this is something that's being enacted by hhs. one of the things i did learn when i was there was there's still a lot of questions that are unanswered about what is actually going on. the kids are 16-year-old and 17-year-old boys. these are kids that have been in other facilities in other parts of the country that have been moved to this facility in order for room to be made for the kids that are being separated from their parents. now, the question that i've had for hhs is how do the parents that are separated from their kids know where their kids are? how does the kids know where their parents are? how long is this policy going to last? is it having the intended effect that the administration wanted to have? there's a lot of folks that aren't talking to one another within the administration. on the ground, in el paso. there's a lot of people that didn't know what it was, indeed, going on at this one facility and knew even less about the po

we can change the dna sequence at will.it was, as well, although there have been obviously huge advances in genetics over decades now, it was a bit of a eureka moment for you when you discovered this tool, wasn't it? this is true, it was a project that started as a collaboration with emmanuelle charpentier and we were working on bacterial immune system known as crispr, which led to the discovery of the mechanism of this protein cas9 and how it can be programmed to cut dna. i guess you are looking at bacteria. are we — you did not have that much hope that it would have much wider applications. would that be fair? that would be fair. i think that is the beauty of doing curiosity—driven science, is that you do not necessarily know where it will lead. so what was it about the bacteria that intrigued you 7 i think it was the possibility that bacteria use a programmable system to protect their own cells from viruses that intrigued us and made us want to understand how. so rather like humans, they have a memory of previous invasio

could be changed for northern ireland and implemented. but theresa may has a particular good reason to dismiss this. aresays that health issues up to the northern assembly. it is up to northerelandnd its legislators here to change the legislation if they want to do so. the lem is that there is no one sitting in this is only behind me, and there has not been sincean 2017. is ae ther reason why theresa may is not keen to tackle this issue, because of her conseative government, and they nto the 10 northern ireland members, and they do not want to change the legislation here. genie: thank you for explaining the situation for northern ireland. other european news, the new in veain has made history with the most women ever to serve in a cabinet. new prime minister pedro sanchez has named 11 female ministers, almost twice as many as the men. >>s negovernment is committed to equality in an unequivocal way. you have heard me say on many occasions spain changed on march there e was a befan after in our country with the feminist protests, and the ne

i'm opposing the name changing. one of the things i was thinking about was the irish immigrant that phelan was. the chinese immigrants. well the chinese and the irish worked a lot together to build this country and the railroad. for them to be fighting over this and to want to change because of that, i don't feel that's appropriate. also, i'm a student at city college for the last ten years. and this lady's saying everybody agrees that they're against it to vote for frida, the name, which is not true. there is no vote there for the students to vote for this. i'm totally in disagreement for that. thank you for listening. >>> thank you.
