largest city in sweden decided to divest from fossil fuel.e are focused on the most court questions about the fossil fuel industry. emergingy now in this scandal around exxon. one of the richest, most powerful fossil fuel companies knew everything there was to know about climate change and engaged in a campaign of disinformation over the quarter-century. you are looking ahead to the upcoming climate conference in paris. what role will you play? will there be protests outside? mostly,ll be outside there will be large demonstrations. it's less the game than the scoreboard -- we find out how much pressure we are able to apply in copenhagen, we got nothing. it was a diplomatic failure. there was no movement to hold the president accountable. with a fiascohome on their hands and paying a price. that is no longer the case. paris will do better than copenhagen. you will not do well enough to begin to solve the problem that --face surrounding .avid: thank you very much still ahead: tesla shares assuming even of the company lost more money last court.

dollars of subsidies for fossil fuels, which puts their price artificially low. it is very unfair to renewables or efficiency measures if you, the competing fuel, if you make the price artificially low, how they can compete with renewable energy. so, you can think of 100-meter race, and then fossil fuels start from 50 meters to reach the finish -- finish the race and renewables start from scratch. there for example subsidies are definitely and fossil fuels are, in my view, public enemy number one for sustainable, for renewables and more important, for energy agency. now, these are the two major preoccupations today, low energy price in the environment and what is going to come from paris and the question is to understand which one of them are cyclical, which one of them will have changes and we try to answer this question. then we look at the demand growth. where does it come from, look at the so-called advanced economies, total energy demand is in a decline, mainly as a result of lower income growth, population growth came to a situation and using energy more an

talking about fossil fuel companies is kind of misleading. most of these companies are leaders in renewable energy. they see themselves as integrated providers of energysolutions, looking into the future. let me interpret your question. seen the world bank report you referred to. there is a requirement as part mobilizegotiations to eye wateringly large amounts of finance for global finance initiatives. $100 billion a year by the end of the decade. that bringingr the developing world with us, we have to demonstrate how we are going to mobilize the resources necessary to deliver the agenda. again, very important to $100size this is not billion of donated money or public funding. it is $100 billion of capital mobilize behind the investment programs to tackle the challenges. much of this money will be businesses as a business proposition in response to the clear commitments that governments have made to d e-carbonized economies. we set parameters. electricity told distribution companies that x percentage of the power they distribute has to come f

this is increasingly allowing the energy sources to compete on cost with fossil fuel generation without the need for subsidy. businesses in the uk are looking at these trends and they are telling us that we should be a leader and at the forefront of these developments. taking advantage of these opportunities. the final argument against tackling climate change but i want to address is the argument that if we take action it will put us at a disadvantage to competitors that don't. and again, this is a perfectly reasonable concern. but with countries representing 85% of the world commission signed up to national contribution target, the reality is that all competitors headed in the same direction. the uk's experienced experience so far is that a robust climate policy, even during a time when others have been uncommitted, has had no impact on the overall competitiveness. businesses remain attracted to the openness to investment, flexible labor markets and highly skilled workforce and it is increasingly fair to the economy of the future will be a low carbon economy and that studies are sugges

exxon knew carbon dioxide was increasing in the atmosphere, that combustion of fossil fuels was driving that this posed a threat to exxon. at that time exxon understood very quickly that governments would probably take action to reduce fossil fuel consumption. they're smart people, great scientist, and they saw the writing on the wall. >> woodruff: that's a from theline excerpt. i spoke earlier this evening with new york state attorney general eric schneiderman. welcome, attorney general eric schneiderman. let me just begin by asking, what is it that exxon-mobil has done in your view that caused you to launch this investigation? >> we've been looking at the energy sector generally for a number of years, and we have had several investigations that relate to the phenomenon of global warming, climate change, and the human contribution to it. so we have subpoenaed, issued a broad subpoena to exxon because of public statements they have made and how they have really shifted their point of view on this in terms of their public presentation and public reporting over the last few decades. in th

it -- solar power is already competitive with fossil fuels.ot just in the sahara desert, but in most parts of the world. the next challenge is being able to store it, because clearly solar power is only available in certain parts of the day. if we can crack the challenge, and this is a technological challenge, is it as difficult as putting a man on the moon? i don't think so. but cracking the challenge of being able to store energy around the clock will give us solar power as a market competitive form of energy in vast parts of the world. it will allow countries, those in the equatorial locations in particular, to export clean energy in the future and the way that they export oil and gas. it will give them a source of income that could be significant for the development. we fosteron is how and encourage that next step of innovation. it should be market-led, but there will be a need for short-term interventions to stimulate the market in the right direction. guest: i am going to turn it over to the audience now. i would like to hear what is on

america's energy security is our strategy over the past several years to reduce our reliance on dirty fossil fuels from unstable parts of the world. three years ago, i set a goal to cut our oil imports in half by 2020. between producing more oil here at home and using less oil throughout our economy, we met that goal last year. five years early. in fact, for the first time in two decades, the united states of america now produces more oil than we buy from other countries. now, the truth is, the states will continue to rely on oil and gas as we transition to a clean energy economy. that transition will take some time. but it's also going more quickly than many anticipated. think about it. since i took office, we've doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas by 2025. tripled power we generate from the wind. multiplied the power we generate from the sun 20 times over. our biggest and most successful businesses are going all in on clean energy. and thanks in part to the investments we've made, there are already parts of america where clean power from the wind or the sun is finally cheape

in terms of fossil fuels, what we need to think about is that if you look at solutions to climate changetypically what you find is number one, and again i'm not talking short-term like ten or 15 years, i'm talking going out many, many decades, that the demand side of energy efficiency conservation always have to be a big part of the solution. i don't believe we can supply side our way out of the challenge over the long-term. supply is still important. what is the next sector, if you like, where you will cd urbanization? where you will see decarbonization? many industrial processes are very, very well tuned, or have processes that are amenable to carbon capture. you have an ethanol plant or a natural gas plant, they tend to have, getting slight in slightly technical, co2 that is slightly cheaper to capture. the transportation sector is likely more challenging. for one thing, you have smaller mobile sources rather than large point sources and the reality is there is no higher energy density per cubic foot than a petroleum-based fuel. that's just a fact of life. that is obviously very conve

adding to its distress, man's unquenchable desire for fossil fuel. the quest to retrieve arctic oil is underway, but how prepared is the world to handle a catastrophic spill. are oil and ice a recipe for disaster? this is "techknow". a show about innovations that can change lives. >> the science of fighting a wildfire. >> we're going to explore the intersection of hardware and humanity, but we're doing it in a unique way. this is a show about science... >> oh! >> oh my god! >> by scientists. tonight, techknow investigates oil in the arctic. hey guys welcome to techknow we're here with cara santa maria and marita davison, because we're talking about drilling for oil in the arctic. now i got to spend twelve days aboard an arctic ice breaker - the us coast guard cutter healy. let me just say, it was complicated. >> and phil, both weather and climate change are huge parts of the story because the sea ice in the arctic is receding. >> and i actually got to see that sea ice receding in action, and the scientists up there that were monitoring this are overw

last year the global economy grew while global carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels stayed flat. and what this means can't be of stated. we have broken the old arguments for inaction and we have proved that strong economic growth no longer have to conflict with one another and can work in concert with one another and that should give us hope. one of the enemies that we will be fighting at this conference is cynicism, the notion we can't do anything about climate change. our progress should give us hope during these two weeks. hope that is rooted in collective action. earlier this month in dubai after years of delay the world agreed to worked together to cut pollutants known as hfcs, that is progress. already prior to paris more than 180 countries representing nearly 95% of global emissions put together their own path for climate change and that is progress. and united states are on track to reach what we set six years ago in copenhagen and will reach 17% below 2005 levels by 2020 and that is why last year i set a new target, america will reduce our emissions 26-28% below 2005 le

switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy is the goal, but that costs money. poorer countries want the developed world to give them financial help so that this ecan invest in clean technology to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. >> urgency means that we are coming to the last possibility to turn the emissions that have continued and still continue today to increase. we have to get them to the point where they turn the corner and beginning to decrease. >> reporter: so the message is clear. if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, global warming will pass the point of no return. the clock is ticking for world leaders to reach an agreement and implement it. jack eau rolan debrox >>> prosecutors in the u.s. have laid criminal charges in what has been labelled the biggest ever cyber hack of a financial institution. three men are accused of a number of fraud and cyber hacking schemes, including a serious attack against a finance giant jp morgan chase. they also allegedly made tens of millions of dollars on the stock market using stolen information. the world'

all that power generated by garbage saves 300,000 tons of fossil fuels and avoids the release of 900,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. that's equivalent to taking almost 200,000 cars off the road. mark barrier is the managing director of cpcu, the company that distributes heat from the plants. he says incineration is an efficient way to turn waste into a resource. >> the waste that you are disposing in the landfill will be there in 10 years, 100 years. heavy metals and plastic and everything will be there. so using this kind of material being properly prepared in order to provide heat and to avoid greenhouse gas production, i think that's good, that's a good idea. >> reporter: cpcu is exploring new ways to capture and recycle heat that would otherwise be wasted- heat emitted by data servers, factories, trains, and even sewage. >> all this wasted heat, i mean, if you don't reuse, you just burn fossil fuels, and then you increase the global warming. >> reporter: the french government grants subsidies for first-time home buyers. but for those who purchase energy-eff

that's after a week-long sit-in over the university's fossil fuel investment. the school had threatened disciplinary action if the students didn't leave by 5 p.m. more than 100 protestors have been blocking the university president's office for five days. they are demanding that the school give up its financial interest in the fossil fuel industry. >> we are done being complicit in what the university is doing. we should divest from oil and gas. >> the school divested from colas year after fossil-free stanford launched a petition. protestors met with university president john hennessy this afternoon to push for further action. they called the outcome of that meeting disappointing. >>> car thieves breaking in without breaking anything. we found several ways criminals are manipulating your key fob to open the door. the sign you could be getting hacked. >> bad enough when an airline loses your luggage and worse when it's a prosthetic leg. how the survivor of a national tragedy got some quick results. >> reporter: the san francisco skyline is just hours away from g

bill: for example, we depend on burning fossil fuels. i walk around this office.omputer. you guys are at a computer, you have your electric cell phone ishines, and everything produced by electricity that is largely produced by burning fossil fuels. we have an extraordinaire contingent in the u.s. of people who deny climate change, who deny that this is the biggest problem facing humankind. so we are not moving fast enough. if all the energy in the u.s. were produced renewable a from wind and solar, we would change the world. the unexploited resource is wind energy off the east coast of the u.s. there is enough to power the whole place -- canada, the u.s., mexico -- several times over. tom: just getting it going is half the battle. jason: can i go back to what tom talked about before? what do you do for the people who are not going to go to college? from -- there is no question that we want stem education up and down the educational spectrum, but not everyone is going to college. is maybe what tom -- i do not want to put words in your mouth -- with 7% of the workfo

. >> a group has been urging the university to divest holdings in fossil fuel companies. abc 7 news reporter david louie live. >> reporter: larry and ama, the sit-in is now over. the university warned the students they might be cited today. stanford president as you indicated did sit down with the students briefly. the students say they left rather frustrated yet hopeful after he said he would communicate their views to the university's trustees. it has been five days of camping out and sitting in front of the office of stanford president john hennessy. their demand after three years of negotiations the university needs to divest its holdings in fossil fuel companies. but stanford came up with its own demand, disperburse or face consequences for trespassing. the 100 or so students decided to wind down their week-long sit-in by making one lap around the main quad as part of a rally where they received word that president hennessy would meet with a contingent of them at mid afternoon. >> we're not necessarily proud of our university. we're not proud of the administrati admi
