emission trading system for many years and they are used to pay a price when they produce c o $2.00 emissions they are far for them it's not a big change the big change. resulting from today's decisions of the federal government they refer to the consumers the consumer from now on has to pay. for c o 2 emissions when they drive a car for example or all when they pay for the heating of the apartment houses this is the big change but is this the way to keep to keep global warming in check and at the same time not kill of growth and wealth. well 1st of all germany is a small country this all is this only works if all the other countries joins germany to bring down c o 2 emissions globally we talk of a global problem however the 1st edition today was that the emission trading system after a couple of years will also affect consumers that means the price of c o 2 when you drive a car when you pay for heating the consumer will be reflected by this and this is very positively because an emission trading system sets a path for c o 2 reductions over the over the next years and this is the most efficie

you asked about climate emissions. the goal is to get emissions by 2050 down by either 80% or 100%, depending on the point of view. we have a plan that by 2035 would reduce emissions by 50%. that dramatically raises the environmental ambitious. here's a plan backed by an odd bedfellow bipartisan coalition to far exceed the u.s. paris commitment. host: we have about 30 seconds, but where are you now as far as this proposal? guest: we have out lined many of the details we need to introduce it legislatively in both chambers and have this be the person climate solution going into the 2020 election. host: our guest as with the climate leadership council, he serves as chair and ceo. >> we take you live now to baltimore, maryland. house republicans are meeting retreat. policy this was scheduled for january of this year. due to the government shutdown at that time. a news conference coming up minority th the leader, kevin mccarthy. live coverage on c-span. very pleased to welcome you to the 2019 house republican member retreat

climate change including the german government as well and struggle to find ways how to cut c o 2 emissions in half by 2030 business fears it might cost to them an arm and a link. welcome to do business i want to johnsonville in that alley with us on this september the 20 s. the day that sees climate strikes all over the world and the german government is also busy coming up with a plan to cut to germany's greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 the proposal is likely to affect every sector of german life from manufacturing to housing and transportation meeting emissions targets will be a mammoth undertaking just look at that germany's energy sector is the country's chief contributor to greenhouse gas emissions producing 311000000 tons a manufacturing sector is also high on the list with 196000000 tons of harmful emissions there followed closely by the transportation sector housing and industrial buildings as well as the agricultural sector so pretty much all industries crucial to our way of life simply producing too much greenhouse gas emissions something has got to give questionis what w

since 2005 global emissions have increased by 2%. while reducing global emissions isal it's also important to note there are over 1 billion people living without access to heat or electricity. from a foreign policy standpoint this should not be overlooked. the next global health crisis or conflict could easily which from poverty. we must encourage other developed nations to reduce emissions while understanding that for economies just getting off the ground it's not entirely possible at least not without substantial help from our united states and allies. it's going to take major innovation and breakthroughs to not only reduce our emissions at home but also provide clean reliable power to those living without it. tesla doesn't sell cars because of the sound system and people don't put solar panels on their roof because they look good. consumers especially the young people like we have on our panel want to know policy makers share our values. with that i yeeield back the balance of my time. >> the chair recognizes the chair of the sele

first on the scope three emission, indirect emissions, can you talk about what your limitations are in terms of make awninmaking an impact unitals o make an impact? >> we have it easier because we environment levers which are largely contract mechanisms. so we have lease agreements through which we contract with our airlines. we have tenant confession agreements to contract with the 188 tenant concession engineers. contract specifications for all design build work and our own rules and regulations that govern the way that people are able to operate and function on our campus. and all of those things apply to tenant projects which fall under scope three emission. >> you couldn't -- you must have your customers purchase carbon offsets for flights. >> most of our levers relate to on-ground operations so we could say that they are required to use only sustain aviation fuel in their flights. you will be honest in sharing that other airports have approached it that way and scale back that requirement due to thumb onenumber one, there's ane of fuel to meet that mandate, but that's why we've g

you china, under the paris accords, are going to be increasing their emissions by nearly 50%.their emissions by nearly 50%. five gigatons annually. so while in the united states we need to continue invest in clean energy technologies, it makes no sense if we are simply watching for increases in china. mr. backer, the report talks about numerous solutions moving forward, including clean energy and others. under ipcc, does it contemplate only, only renewable energy sources moving forward? >> thank you. it actually does not. i think it shows a strong trend that we need to generate more clean energy going into the future. there is no doubt about that. and reduce emissions with clean energy technologies, but there is no statement that says we need to go 100% clean to reduce emissions to the level we need to to fix this problem. >> it doesn't contemplate not using any conventional fools moving forward for the next few decades anyway. do you think it makes sense to utilize the fuels from the nation that has the cleanest energy or do you think it makes more sense, for example to use a russian gas th

climate change including the german government pullin needs to find a way to cut greenhouse gas emissions inhofe by 2030 business is alarmed to it might cost them an arm and a leg. also coming up germans drink less and less beer boxes their homegrown malt still built up the glasses around the world. welcome to double business i want to get johnsonville in good to have you with us on this september the 20th the day that sees climate strikes all over the world and the german government is also busy coming up with a plan to cut germany's greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 the proposal is likely to affect every sector of german life from manufacturing to housing and transportation meeting emissions targets will be a mammoth undertaking let's take a look germany's energy sector is the country's chief contributor to greenhouse gas emissions producing 311000000 tons the manufacturing sector is also high on the list german factories emit 196000000 tons of harmful emissions there followed closely by the transportation sector which chalks of $162000000.00 tons of its own housing and industria

how do we do zero emissions? three easy steps. energy efficiency, supply renewable electricity, that is what we and electrify appliances. that's a little bit in the future again. we do have an existing commercial bench marking ordinance which has been promoting energy efficiency by measuring what building owners and operators are managing. so, that bench marking ordinance supplies commercial buildings and large multifamily buildings. he was see that row at the top. in addition, commercial buildings are required to for both of those different category sizes. what is new and what we are attacking today, we are requiring commercial buildings, about 50,000 square feet or higher to use renewable electricity. we are building upon our work for buildings. there is a pun there, i probably meant that. it is all sequential. we are starting with energy efficiency. as you work through energy efficiency goals you want to make sure the electricity that you are still supplying is 100 that is where we are today. again, just a little bit more on th

emissions and concerns about r.f. emissions. and we understand the important need -- and it's one of the conditions to have verizon wireless available to provide or educate with respect to r.f. emissions. and that's certainly one of the reasons that the test is prepared, the d.p.h. does the careful review and the reason we do post installation testing and all of that information is readily available. i think the appellant reduced his concerns to two points. sounded like he was not concerned about the 220 watt facility going above 220 watts for going to 5g without further review by the city. that's correct. that is contained in the approval for the department of public health and department of public works, any modifications approved has to be reviewed by both of those agencies. the other issue i think is what is the current ambient r.f. level, the current levels at the site prior to the installation of our facility. and under the guidelines created in 1996, based on 30,000 without macro sites, the city determined that 100 feet w

from flying and driving emissions from mining more prevalent in the news well i mean of course we've seen a bit about coal mining in the news when we're speaking of copper mining or mining like was mentioned in the report or diamond mining which takes place you know in several parts of africa we don't hear a lot about that and that's because of course it's far away and people focus on what's closest to them and a lot about the climate movement is of course about changing people's behaviors so that's what the focus has been on what's happening in your old boy in a lot of places where those movements tend to be much bigger a change of behavior kobold know not everybody knows that cobalt is very important in batteries i think and for electric cars and also for mobile phones so what's the change of behavior that needs to happen that if we want to sort of reduce what money exactly when we speak of cobalt we're talking about 60 percent of global production production goes to battery production so that's a huge amount that's more than half and basically if we want to change you know how thi

gas emissions which is second world. the however, americans have been told one-size-fits-all as the green ch new deal, are the only solution. such policies advocate for an transformation that increases government control, spending, and regulation. approaches inhibit innovation and are not in an effective way to reduce emissions. in fact, countries of highly restrictive and government-controlled economies disastrous la, have environmental records, and while on the other hand, countries eading in emissions reductions have some of the freest economic systems in the world. this reality, and the fact of the matter is, we cannot regulate our way out change.te markets and competition reduce emissions far more than heavy-handed regulation. a truly effective climate plan on america's e strength, technological dvancements and empower consumers, bold global leadership. we need to decarbonize fossil increase the , number of nuclear and hydropower plants, continue developing wind, encourage research and development into other clean e

>> joe biden has called out zero carbon emissions in 2020, some have called for earlier, he has left open role for, you know, net zero carbon emissions, carbon capture which is when you take -- allow gas, then you track the emission to make sure they don't affect the clie mitt and store it underground. he's called for 500,000 more electric vehicle charging stations which would help, vehicle charger. he's tried to bring some of the obama regulations that he worked on and plus up what he was doing there. >> meanwhile from the president's side, what's his pitch heading into 2020 on this -- on energy and the environment? >> i think that he's still trying to find his best way tohi talk about this. you see him on the debate stage competing with the others who have putg out aggressive plans then then we need to work dut and we will have a conversation about it. he said he would eliminate fracking but there's not a clear way to do that. >> we are talking about president trump?el >> no, we are talking about joe biden. >> what is president trump's pitch? >> president trump's pitch he wants tos

that would apply stricter emissions limits than federal regulations required. transportation secretary elaine chao and e.p.a. administrator andrew wheeler held a news conference this morning announcing what they call nationwide fuel economy standards. >> thank you all so much for being here. administrator wheeler and i are pleased to announce a major step forward in trump's plan to ensure that more americans have access to safer, more affordable and cleaner new cars that meet their family's needs. 2 1/2 years ago president trump spoke with auto workers in michigan and said that we would review and revise the last administration's unattainable economy regulations. those rules were making cars more expensive and impeding safety, because consumers were being priced out of newer, safer vehicles. our team of experts have been jointly working together, conducting a long, thoughtful and detailed review of these rules. and today's action is an important down payment on the president's commitment. the one national program that we are announcing today will ensure that th

do you think this is likely to do anything to compel world leaders to start scaling back carbon emissions. as quickly as the scientists say they should i think so. yesterday and the day before we had to get for humanity to be part of the people summit which gathered some moral leaders some organizations and there is definitely a willingness to try to stop polluting there's also a declaration that was written with over close to $400.00 organizations that. does that cooperation or timing at least we believe that it is urgent to listen to science to also listen to children and to see that if we do reach the track but the benchmark in which there is irreversible damage done to the planet we're all at stake and we're all losing so i i think that. 3 as well as governments are willing to make a very it's a question of how much pressure we're able to use. civilians as citizens of this planet to to make sure that there is actually accountability that is what you side of the framework and. what they're explaining that really appreciated marcel partition terror is north america spokesperson for the

the diesel emissions scandal showed anger in germany. the auto industry stalled then cheated then covered it up. and then cities imposed driving restrictions. waiting for compensation germany's yellow vests feel betrayed by corporations and punished by politicians. automotive freedom subsidized diesel fuel commuter allowances incentives to sweeten life in the suburbs. but now they say they're footing the bill for mistakes made by industry and government. no it's not like that it's not true of course they cheated and v.w. has to answer for that but we can't be punished as a result of. this will have a huge impact on germany for years to come affecting the auto industry and it's. all the way down to the last mechanic. germany failed to get in the driver's seat and forge a path for others to follow. it may prove an existential mistake because while we germans are still arguing about past emissions the rest of the world is already on the road to a new era. china the world's biggest and most important market. its still growing. german carmake

it's a different picture though if you compare these countries per capita emissions an average american produces the most c o 2 with 16 tons of russians surprisingly come in on the number 2 spot with 12 tons and e.u. residents shouldn't be too smug either we produce just as much as chinese citizens for roughly 7 tons. but there's little sign of all this troubling beijing on wednesday chinese president xi jinping cut the ribbon for beijing's $60000000000.00 ford does ng is ready to serve $45000000.00 passengers per year to set its ban to capacity of over 70000000 with 4 runways and nearly 300 gates. clearly shows that for china economic expansion seems to come before climate protection how much sense does it make if we all reduce our as well let's bring in our live sound of eisenstein he's with the 3 g. an independent climate change think tank here in berlin it son. germany produces just 2 percent of global c o 2 just introduced stricter climate regulation. china opens a new make up order how much sense does all these well intentioned climate action of countries like germany make if we'r

is determining that epka determine vehicle emission programs. that's one basis on which e.p.a. intends to withdraw the 2013 waiver for california's state g.h.g. and z.e.v. programs. separate and aproprietor from that, e.p.a. is withdrawing the waiver based on our interpretation and application of one of the criteria for denying a waiver. does the state need its standards to meet, quote, compelling and extraordinary conditions? understood in its origin and context, the california waiver authority exists because california has uniquely bad problems with smog-forming pollutants. there's a direct and tight link between california cars and their emission of criteria pollutants, the local concentrations of those emissions, and the impacts they have on california due to the state's extraordinary perfect storm of features like population, traffic, temperature, wind, ocean currents, and topography. but for greenhouse gases, the tight and direct link isn't there. california cars have no closer link to california climate impacts than do cars on the road in japan or anywhere else in the wo

china unveiled the 2nd biggest order in the world air travel is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and china doesn't show any signs it's willing to cut their the country's carbon dioxide output as other countries worry it let's have a closer look at that china is already the world leader in c o 2 production production with just under 10000000 tons a year that's almost a 3rd of all global manmade c o 2 each year the u.s. comes in at number to produce in just over half as much in absolute numbers followed by the whole of the european union in a fist fight it's a different picture though if you compare these countries per capita emissions an average american produces the most c o 2 with 16 tom's russians a prize in it coming on the number 2 spot with 12 tons and e.u. residents shouldn't be too smug either we produce just as much as chinese citizens roughly 7 times each but there's little sign of all this troubling beijing when said chinese president xi jinping cut the ribbon for beijing's $60000000000.00 apple does ng is ready to serve $45000000.00 passengers per year and a set to exp

officials announcing his administration would revoke califoia's ability to set its own for field emission standards. since 1970, the epa has granted california a waiver to enforce aggressive air pollution standards that are today followed by 13 other states. threatened legal action and called the move quote a continuation of a political vendetta against california. with is now a senior research fellow from stanfo university michael warren. thank you for joining us. so, president trump, he doesn't come to california very often and what does he do while he's g-standing authority to a's determine its own fuel emission standards. and i think the big question coming out of this is can he this and how is he going to do this. >> i think it's a risky strategy thbut e are pieces of it, pieces of whatthe trump administration proposed that are unlikely to acally result in enforceable regulations. there are pieces of it we could actually change what californ is and is not allowed to do. >> talk about the rationale from the trump administration about why this isneeded and also talk about the revocatio

in oslo 77 percent of all new cars sold are electric within a year carbon dioxide emissions have by 9 percent. norway didn't invent the battery powered car in fact alternatives to can bust in engines have been around for a long time in 1975 mercedes rolled out its 1st emission for event. 1976 mark the birth of folks wagons electric gulf. b.m.w. launched its a one in the early 1990 s. . we showcased our 1st electric cars of the 1972 olympic games and they accompanied the marathon run we now have 20 years of experience under our belt and i think we've mastered the technology. it's give us 5 maybe 10 years then we'll be ready like. that because of what's a. 27 years later and we're still not ready germany is nowhere near to reaching its 2020 climate goals which foresee a 1000000 electric vehicles. on its roads next year instead we're still debating. our threshold set in stone. is the diesel engine better than its tattered reputation. part electric cars polluters and other ways. the geneva motor show stomping ground of the tradition conscious car industry here nothing seems out of order.

and yet we see power sector carbon emissions are on the decline.e. and i think that is the result not of government policies but if market forces, of consumer demands, and market efficiencies. i've been out there saying that there is a real business case to be made for renewable energy. and i think that renewable energy, as advocates have long touted, is at a point now where it is competitive on its own, renewals are competitive on their own without the necessary backing of government subsidies or government policies. when you look at markets, and over the course of time you have one source of generation that has no fuel cost, that's going to win out over the course of time over an alternative that has a fuel cost. to answer your question, the role that ferc can play is in creating a regulatory ecosystem that enables these new technologies to flourish, and by breaking down barriers to entry for those technologies. one of the measures that we moved to the commission in the past year i'm very proud of is our rule 841 re: battery storage. removing barri

emissions by 2030 experts warn it won't meet this target. it's early exit from nuclear energy made germany heavily reliant on fossil fuels manufacturing transport. other industries also contribute to germany's high emissions. how can germany reduce its greenhouse gases a minimum price for budget airlines is under consideration other ideas include improving public transport to encourage people to use their cars less. the biggest thing germany can do is reduce its fossil fuel consumption germany only wants to phase out coal energy by 2038. in the meantime it wants to tax carbon dioxide a carbon tax would make coal and other fossil fuels more expensive. but the proposals targeting fossil fuels have been met with resistance coal miners and other industrial workers fear for their jobs. climate activists have taken to the streets hoping to persuade the german government to take action now. while demonstrators want action now as we just heard there in the german government come up with a policy that will satisfy the demonstrators in berlin and else

and that'll mean by 2050 reducing emissions, effectively, to zero. zero over the next 30 years. developing countries like india say their economy still needs to grow, so their emissions will rise. china's are still going up, but maybe not for much longer. and america, well, its emissions are falling, despite the views of president trump. for climate scientists likejoanna haigh, the world is warming at frightening speed. if we do nothing about it, and if we let it carry on as is, and co2 emissions carry on going up, and up, and up, it really is very scary. if we act now on greenhouse gas emissions and make sure that they slope down, so we get back to zero emissions by the end of the century, then really it's a much better position. the un wants a massive push for renewable energy, like these rolling hills of solar panels in china. another plan is to save the forests, because without them temperatures will keep rising. david shukman, bbc news. borisjohnson has denied any impropriety following claims that he failed to declare a potential conflict of int
