all proceeds go to greenpeace. yes. consider that your donation it is one of those books that is imperative right now. i am so honored to have met you both here to talk about this pressing issue and thank you so much for everything you have done. >> thank you. thank you to all those that tuned in we appreciate your presence and your questions >> january 20th, 2017, before that for most of that time i worked hard to defend the rights and liberties of the american citizenry to discuss their abuse to discuss that opportunity. is not just a question of policy differences but in terms of what they have done. and i wouldn't be speaking out it is his dishonesty and abuse of the office of the presidency with that obligation. i was hoping when i retire for the second time january 2017 i would go off into the retirement sunset and not stir up any issues. but i cannot remain silent and then denigrate the intelligence community, the fbi and the professions, and just continues about reality. quite frankly i find it rather disappoint

corks popping their greenpeace all these measures too little too late oh i wish we could have pop some champagne corks but they are way too little and they are too late it's never too late i guess i would say but i think if you look at the desire of the e.u. to lead and to actually forge of way forward that would address the climate emergency we needed a 65 percent target not a 55 percent target which is not up to snuff for what the scientists are calling for but that doesn't sound that much of a difference i mean how much of a difference does this make anyway if you look at global emissions and what the e.u. has just decided to cut the levels and makes a big difference i mean i think if you look at where the e.u. is emissions are currently looking to go it's a 46 percent reduction with existing measures so that 55 percent sounds quite big it's actually just a small incremental shift of what they were already planning to do and the e.u. is important globally it's a major player in the market it's still one of the you know large greenhouse gas emitting countries but clearly we need the

. >> spokesperson for greenpeace international joins us now. these measures -- are they a little too late? >> they are definitely too little, and although we still have time, they risk being too late. we are experiencing extreme weather, fires, droughts, storms all around the world, and the eu needed to take on a 50 -- a 65% cut, rather than this 55% cut, which is not much more than they are already on track to meet, so we need more from the eu, and we will is that 65% viable? the eu is already committing a couple of billion euros. will that help? >> i think it is definitely possible. you have a situation around the world that 95% new energy being installed is from renewables. it is cheaper, more affordable than coal and most fossil fuels, so this is a win-win-win. it brings much better air quality in places like eaern europe and health befits. it brings new jobs into the system, and it tackles climate change, which is a life or death situation, so it is doable, it makes sense, and it would benefit the eu to go even further than what they did t

our itself let's bring in now executive director of greenpeace international jennifer moore again a very good to have you with us miss morgan now these measures said that we just are heard in that report are they too little too late. they are definitely too little and although we still have time they risk being to lay where in a climate emergency and where experiencing extreme weather fires drought storms all around the world and the e.u. needed to take on a 65 percent cut rather than this 55 percent cut which isn't actually much more than they're already you know on track to meet so we need more from the e.u. and we'll keep working for that right but is that viable that 65 percent that you just mentioned as the e.u. is already committing now more than a couple of billions of euros into renewable energy will that help. well i think that it is definitely possible i mean right now you have a situation that around the world according to the international renewable energy agency that 95 percent of new energy that's being installed is from renewables it is cheaper more affordable than coal an

is telling us we need the european parliament asked for something at 60 percent of a reduction greenpeace has been asking and pushing for a 65 percent reduction and i think it's important to know that with what the u.s. already has in place it would get to a 46 percent reduction so it's not historic it's incremental and it's not a world leader response to what's needed at this moment of crisis unfortunately what about the objections from member states like hungary and poland that do rely heavily upon coal energy and find this is already a too ambitious goal what is your message to these member states. my message to them is that there is a much better future out there that their people are demanding for right now in a clean energy system in a clean energy system and one that is based on wind from the offshore of the northern coast of poland that one that's based on on efficiency and that this is the way the world is moving right now and if they want to be part of that economy moving forward this is this is the way to go coal is no longer you know a modern energy we're moving into something

greenpeace insisted farmers maintain half of their land and forests and then creating these forest islands that make it more difficult for predators between them so that was a very important finding. now if i go over, some of the heroes of the chapter were also conservation scientists who had been working with oil companies to develop oil safely in natural parks so it could be used as a substitute for wood fuel. wood fuel is the worst fuel that disrupts forest life. the impact is devastating to have hundreds of thousands going through the forest. on those cases i do think i would argue for the moderate view which is to intensify agriculture in the savanna's in brazil and to allow some extracted industry for -- i wrote the book in part because if i were to say on cnn or msnbc i think there should be oil drilling in the national park, i would be crucified for that. but once you read this book it is hard to read chapter four about the extinction and leave that chapter and think that somehow it is wrong. how could it be wrong. i know that all of the americans and europeans that flew their own

upset as i was but he revealed an important thing but to demand conservation measure measures, greenpeace force that fragmentation that never should have occurred. so foreign to produce more you have to concentrate and intensify that should happen in the savanna region south of the amazon forest february colleges think it is the same that would allow you to protect more of the amazon but greenpeace insisted farmers maintain half of their land and forest then to create the forest island that makes it more difficult for apex predators. so that's a very important finding. to look at the 13 rift in africa those were also conservation scientist working with oil companies to develop wheels safely and national parks to be used as a substitute for worldview will that is the worst fuel it disrupts forest life we pay attention to those that then toxic smoke but what they complain about is the time that it takes and the impact is devastating eating wild animals and burning the words i do think i'm arguing for a moderate view to intensify the culture and to allow some for petroleum in the rift to be
