and we look at how mongolia tries to tackle deforestation. dolphins are intelligent mammals, known to save swimmers or divers in danger. so no surprise then that they have become the poster child for animal protection. generations of children still grow up enjoying the experience of seeing these beautiful creatures in action. but what isn't visible there is that this form of captivity amounts to torture for these sensitive animals. many japanese say such concerns are way too sentimental. for them dolphin steaks are a normal occurrence on a restaurant menu. and the hunt and sale of dolphins is welcome business. so when hunters gather for the annual mass slaughter of thousands in the bay of taiji, that's also when the fishermen face-off with animal rights campaigners. our reporter phillipp abresh spoke to both sides. >> another day dawns over taiji cove, another day of death for dolphins. they've been herded together in their dozens, now at the mercy of their hunters. up on the cliffs animal rights activists are powerless to prevent the slaught

harrison ford is able to meet with the head of one of the largest companies doing deforestation and meetith the minister of forestry and the president of indonesia. why the second episode, he is actually able to get them -- publicly announce they're going to change some of their policies. besides just being a very compelling figure, as harrison is. let me make one more point. i have seen this on the big screen now in a couple of screenings. movie screens. if you see this on the big screen or a big tv set, you will think this was a movie. you will not think, this is just some made-for-tv thing. the cinematography, high definition is just spectacular. i think people will be blown away. >> at scottrade clip from the first episode in the series, "years of living into slee dangerously." wheezed owned farmland in syria. -- we used to own farmland in syria. the rains were very good. the land was well watered. then suddenly, the drought occurs. the land became like a desert. >> they took you away for two months? >> yes, they took as a way for two months. >> what are your plans now? you went to c

i am here again with danita judge and deforest. i'm getting their take on today's heroes and zeros. state board of elections officials there chronicled, machining other voting anomalies, suspected cases of dead people going to the polls. this is something that has happened in fringe cases around the country. it may be happening there. the board cautioned, though, that the findings are still under investigation and may well be the result of poll worker mistakes. that didn't stop north carolina senate president phil burger and house speaker tom tillis from saying that the report would "put to rest ill-informed claims that problems don't exist and help restore the integrity of our elections process." look, this report may or may not be true, as i mentioned, and it's fine to point out these problems, but leaping to use that as a rationale for cracking down on the vote more, which that statement is very clearly code for, we're going to get danita and deforest's take in a moment. i'm going to give him a zero for that comment. now we turn to a hero with the last name that anyone who has se

year can be directly traced to industrial conventional agricultural practices which includes the deforestation for we all know oil existed to indonesia so if we can if we can capture something equal to what we're emitting every year i mean that's that's nice that's a big deal but we've emitted three hundred fifty billion tonnes since the beginning of the industrial revolution more actually yeah ok yeah it's the right numbers of years all right. so. this is i mean this seems like a really important stuff. but we also still have to stop emitting carbon of course i'm not going to suggest that this is the one to does it doesn't this because it doesn't require the chemistry that requires carbon to drive the factories to make the catch the pesticides it doesn't require the petroleum that so much so much for the leisure is made out of the resin require it all the machines isn't this actually a less carbon intensive form of agriculture and so so the system of agriculture is itself carbon neutral but more than they are photosynthesis relies on the ability of a plant to pull carmody oxide from the atmos

one is faster growing trees that helps offset deforestation. epa has acknowledged that. another is that marshes can grow more quickly above rising sea levels against particular ravages of rising sea levels. i would just point out that there are differences on this committee about the effect of co2 on climate change. no one is suggesting that co2 causes lung disease, asthma, or the kind of smog that the chairman talked about. i will tell you what we do agree on. we agree that there are some mighty fine programs that the administration is posing cuts for. the budget of the administration proposes cutting $430 million from the clean water revolving loan fund. $150 million from the drinking water fund, $5 million from the brownfield program. this is something we can all agree on. these are proven programs that are well received by state and local communities that have encouraged to work with communities in a cooperative manner. these are more troubling considering that some estimate the amount to bring local what -- local water infrastructure with compliance is over $2.5 tri

this show looks at a lot of different issues, the rising sea levels, looks at drought, deforestations, what is the most critical issue? >> i think the most fundamental issue to emphasize is what seemed like small shifts in average conditions, a small amount of sea level, a small amount of increase in temperature, can have huge impacts on how frequently we're getting these devastating extreme events. our research suggests a couple feet of sea level rise could triple the risk of coastal flooding of the type that we saw during sandy and the future. higher temperatures mean more deadly heat waves. we need to take steps to reduce our vulnerabilities to these extreme events. >> one of the most interesting episodes is with thomas friedman. and he talks about the global change on global conflict. i think a lot of people don't understand that. we think of melting glaciers, hurricanes, drought. but is this what it can lead to? >> so, yeah, the second of these three ippc reports get into the impacts of climate change. the point that's made nicely i think in tonight's episode of years of living d

if you're diverting more of the food production into use of fuel, is that causing things like deforestationher countries to make up for that decrease in the use of that production for food? indirectly induced change. when you factor that in, it's not so clear that ethanol is a big winner from a climate standpoint depending on how you model or do the numbers. you can get different results and the epa has determined that it is better from a greenhouse gas standpoint than conventional gasoline but how much better as a matter of dispute. ah --sarah is on the line from utah for him alive the democrats. caller: we need to continue tax credits for clean alternative energy and we need to be aware that we have so much oil in the united states that they are our number one export. jet full diesel and are our number one expor. it seems ludicrous to give these tax credits to these oil companies. about ticking and choosing. -- then we talk about picking and choosing. we need to think about the future generations and climate change. guest: the caller probably issue a fossil fuel exports. that is one of th

a bill that sounds like it would protect trees but somehow introduces a lax regulation against deforestation and don't get me started on the right to work legislation that sounds like a promise to protect workers all the while doing away with workers' rights. look guys it's clear that politicians have mastered how to game us which is why we should always keep in mind that old cliche we learn from our librarian and never judge a bill by its title. i. i . case you're wondering what former vice president dick cheney's been up to since help implement this country into a while the input of despair well these women just fine see him in his neo con cabal of been enjoying their riches and leaving office giving expensive talks and parading around selling their tell all books my life as a war criminal usually events of people like cheney bush or kissinger are kept private so the pesky public won't get a chance to heckle them for their crimes against humanity but one recent event held by the republican jewish coalition in which cheney was the keynote speaker that is exclusive private talk who leaked to
