. >> i was a contributing author to the ipcc report, buried somewhere. are you trying to tell me that you're taking my nobel prize away from me? >> yes. i am. i don't know what michael mann -- when he resisted this thing we all took as nobel -- we tried to take his nobel prize away and he had to amend his complaint because he said he had this certificate that -- remember the railroad inning nor who ran the ipcc, heed gone to the ipcc branch of kinko's and run off like, 47,000 of these authentic looking nobel-ex-laureate-like nobel prize certificates and michael manna has his. if you get a real nobel prize you get a medal and you be to a big dinner with the king of sweden. and as you may recall, the -- got into a little trouble in india. his choo-choo jumped the track and he has had to resign from the ipcc, so michael mann got no medal, got no king of sweden, but he has got the only nobel prize awarded to him by an accused sex fiend. so that is a very unique and appropriate distinction, i think.

prize and man was one of thousands of upon thousands of people who had been associatinged with the ipccince 1990. a couple of years later you may recall the european union won the nobel peace prize. so on mann criteria, the eu has 500 million nobel laureates. you can't swing a cat over there without hitting a nobel laureate. you go to one of those nude beaches in the south of france, in august, and it's wall to wall naked nobel laureates from san to trope to monte carlo. it's -- so every eu citizen is a nobel laureate, my mom i irish and my father is belgium so i'm two-time nobel laureate. this to me is important. it's important. because it gets to the heart of the bubble that these people live in. why would they think twice about adjusting their figures? if a man seriously believed that the pantheon of laureates can be adjusted to include himself why would he be bothered about adjusting the 1915 temperature record the way to noaa did last week. what's the big deal about that if you seriously believe yourself to be a nobel laureate as thousands of these guys do. and that's why they had

if they can redo the third assessment report of the ipcc they would not put everything on the hockeyck. they think they can get away with just not mentioning a but to ignore that try not to catch his eye. the fascinating thing about this emails isn't the science with the doubts that were well known but the fact the actual personal relationships between may and and those who sound like his battered wife. they tried to avoid another slap from him but didn't actually want to get out and walk away. but they have to walk away from a hockey stick and peace seemed to do so for the integrity of science and [applause] this conference is called a fresh start and that is wet climate science needs i urge you to read the piece and the australian magazine this month that takes of wild ride on the hockey stick to scions to draw a clear line to read mitt the last 50 years that it corrected everything it touched from the of prestigious journal nature, a peer review review, governments that embraced it, the climatic research unit that passed the founders legacy they did it slowed of building that was

here there were a lot of people becoming very suspicious that the ipcc was underestimating the sea level. >> so here is the million dollar question, trillion dollar question. what do we do about it? >> what the science is telling us is that we have an emergency. if we want our children and grandchildren to inherit a planet which is not running out of their control, we're going to have to reduce emissions as fast as practical. as long as fossil fuels are the cheapest energy, people are going to keep burning them, going to find them, dig them up wherever they can find them, but we have to make them pay their cost to society. so what we need to do is add a gradually rising fee to the fossil fuel which you would collect from the fossil fuel companies at the source, the domestic mine or port of entry. and that money should be distributed to the public, all legal residents of the country. that way the person who does better than average in limiting his carbon footprint will make money and will be a big incentive for them to pay attention to their carbon footprint, will be a big incentive for e
