environmental groups minimize the costs of implementing the kyoto accords.business groups are concerned that such measures would hurt growth and raise the unemployment rates. the key economic lesson here is that resources are, indeed, limited. this means that we need to figure out cost-effective ways of dealing with global warming, as well as all the other problems facing our global society, including but not limited to poverty, disease, education, and national security. the good news is that we have made progress over the last couple of decades in improving the environment. few people would disagree that further improvements are needed. however, the benefits of these improvements need to be balanced against their costs. one challenge for both the supporters and opponents of the kyoto accords is to come up with better, and less exaggerated, estimates of the costs and benefits. america didn't get dirty overnight, and it's not going to be totally pure tomorrow. but thanks to citizen protest and government response, the country's environment is cleaner and heal

kyoto is in some technical way applicable to all because those countries are in some sense under kyotout it well, well, the new obligations of the requirements coming out of kyoto where applicable. it was applicable to some. because of the need to have everyone in the game, there has developed and in this respect i think maybe more than any other a fair amount of consensus that it is a fundamentally focusing first of all on mitigation which is 25 other issues like adaptation are obviously important. there is a bottom-up structure which is nationally determined. commitments that turned and the contributions as part of the negotiating process. there is no other way to do it. early on their were countries who expressed unhappiness about that is a structure. what i always said is i understand it is not beautiful. you give me an alternative you can imagine all countries being a part of. the maximum level of their ambition. it is instilled this structure. the main one the intention is for countries to come forward with their intended. we have essentially done that now, but to come forward ea

under kyoto.t was. the obligations, the requirements coming out of kyoto and developed countries. it is very much applicable to some, not applicable to all. this is not to be different. because we have everybody in the game, there has developed in this respect may be more than the other a consensus for negotiations that is fundamentally focusing first of all on the other issues like adaptation are enormously important. there is a bottom-up structure which is nationally determined at one point in the discussion and nationally determined contribution as a part of the negotiating process. there is no other way to do it. early on there were countries who express habits is the stark sure in what i always said it gives me an alternative being part of. we try to come forward with ideas designed to prod and push countries to the next will of their ambition and the main one that we propose essentially creates a two-step country for countries to come forward with their intended early. so we have essentially

some sense under kyoto, but it wasn't.re new obligations. they were just applicable to develop in countries. applicable to some but not all. because of the need to have everybody in the game, there has developed, and in this respect i think maybe more than any other, a fair amount of consensus, that it is fundamentally focusing first of all on other issues. mitigation is to kind of the centerpiece. there's a bottom-up structure which was kind of nationally determined. at one point in the discussion, that turned into contributions. there's no other way to do it. early on there were countries that expressed unhappiness about that structure. when i was said was we understand it's not all -- you can imagine all countries being part of. we've tried to come forward with some ideas and design to product and push countries to the maximum level of their ambition instilled in this structure, and that, the main one that we propose was the notion of consultative period which essentially creates sort of a two-step. countries, the inten

a sense-of-the-senate just like before kyoto, the president is freelancing. or our courts, the rest of the world should not take this as a sign that we're committed to anything. he's speaking for himself, not for us. that would cut this off at the knees and this paris kyoto two would be a dead letter. that would be first in my mind. change the law to make sure it says -- every time they amended the clean air act, which is they rejected regulating carbon dioxide. they were given the opportunity. make sure the courts can't rewrite these laws and the president. >> my concern it seems like obama understands or thinks he's been owner aided king and he can do whatever he wants. that's my big concern. david: good to see you both. thank you very much. secretary state applauding china and the us for acting together. top-ranked republicans are blasting obama for acting alone. he's going to too far for making a deal without consulting congress. robert murray agrees. he's even suing the epa for going too far on the o existing regulations. what do you think about this chi

the company that makes the patry is based in kyoto, gsu archon.hem to tell us what had gone wrong. hi, how are you. al jazeera. >> al jazeera. >> yes. >> i wonder whether you might be willing to do an interview. >> they refused. the battery is only one part of the complex system. there's a charger made at a factory thousands of kilometres away. what happened there showed boeing learnt years ago how dangerous a lithium-ion battery could be. in tuscon, arizona, we track down michael layon, an electrical technician. >> i've been working electronics since i was 17, and i joined the paratroopers and was assigned to an electronic communications battalion in the 2nd airborne. this is the first time i have been here since 2007. it's hard to believe that this is what's left of the 3-storey engineering structure. >> on a november morning in 2006, layon and dozens of others clocked in at secure plane, the charger. >> and i started a pot of coffee. i went into the lab and started unit. >> then it happened. >> there was a loud explosion. all of a sudden i was

the team was led by an assistant professor at kyoto university. the researchers worked with induced pluripotent stem or ips cells. they have the potential to develop into any organ or body tissue. the researchers use cells from a person with muscular dystrophy which is caused by genetic abnormality. they used the latest genome editing technology to repair the abnormality in the cells and they grew them into normal muscle cells. using genome editing technology with ips cells may lead to new treatments for people with genetic diseases. >>> japanese craftsmen have refined the art of making traditional washi paper over hundreds of years. now they're about to get recognition. officials at unesco have decided to add washito its list of intangible cultural assets. [ applause ] >> a unesco committee announced the decision in paris. committee members say the skills used in making japanese-style paper have been handed down over generations. they say the know-how needs to be preserved. washi is handmade from mulberry fibers. three types have been registered.

of course, the kyoto treaty didn't do that. and they knew at the time it was not going to be ratified. in fact, they didn't -- they weren't even going to submit it for ratification to this body. and so that's exactly what did happen. now, let's look at what's happening in china right now. china is doing pretty well. between 2005-2011, china added roughly two 600-megawatt coal-fired power plants a week. that's two power plants a week. in the seven years -- in seven years, china added more coal capacity to its fleet than existed in the entire united states. now, this is not going to be slowing down in the years to come. by his own admission, it's going to be increasing in the next -- between now and 2030. they are expected -- china's expected to bring a new coal-fired power plant on-line every 10 days to give its hungry economy some -- some electricity that it demands. so china's now the largest consumer and importer of coal in the world. it's kind of interesting. we're going through this shale revolution in this country. wonderf

the company that makes the battery is gs yuasa, based in kyoto. we wanted them to tell us what had gone so wrong. >> hi, how are you/ al jazeera. >> al jazeera. we wonder whether you might be willing to do an interview? >> they refused. >> the battery is only one part of the dreamliner's complex electrical system. there's also a charger made at a factory thousands of kilometers away. what happened there, shows boeing learnt years ago just how dangerous a lithium ion battery could be. in tucson, arizona we tracked down michael leon p an electrical technician. >> i've been working electronics since i was 17 years old and i joined the paratroopers and i was assigned to an electronics communications battalion of the 82nd airborne. >> this is the first time i've been here since, since 2007. it's hard to believe that this is what's left of a three story engineering structure. >> on a november morning in 2006 leon and dozens of other workers clocked in at securaplane - the company that makes the battery charger. >> i started a pot of coffee then i went i

this is a kyoto, eight-hour, cold filter, drip. >> reporter: that is delicious.kind of -- oh, yeah. >> like a fine bourbon. >> reporter: clearly, i'm now an expert. but the real experts, the baristas we talked to say that you, the customer, really have no idea what you're drinking. >> there are the select few who are truly coffee aficionados, but the vast majority of my customers actually don't really know anything. >> this is nice coffee. >> reporter: remember that '80s, from before we got all fancy pants about a cup of joe? >> we're secretly replacing the fine coffee usually served here with rich, dark, sparkling folger's crystals. >> reporter: we did something similar at local favorite philz in santa monica. we lined up a cup of supermarket standard -- 5 cents a cup. a premium java from a well-known coffee chain -- two or three bucks. and a third -- the most expensive coffee on earth. it's a blind tasting. are you like a coffee type guy? >> i drink coffee every day. >> reporter: patrick guessed this is the most expensive. it's the cheapest. patrick, we have a

us -- kyoto is in way is applicable to all. wasn't.tries are -- it the requirements coming out of kyoto -- he was very much applicable to some. this is meant to be different. there has developed a fair amount of consensus in the negotiations. there is a bottom-up structure. part of the negotiating process in warsaw. other way to do it. early on countries expressed unhappiness about that. is you give med you and all -- an alternative you can imagine. we try to come forward with some ideas that are designed to prod and push countries to the next level of their ambition. the main one every proposed was a -- thecreates intention is for countries to come forward with their and early.-- the views of other countries, the views of sissel -- civil society and everybody else can indiao see what china or or europe or anyone else is proposing to do. you take whatever criticism you get. the hope is that structure pushes countries to come forward with their best shot right away. they don't want to be embarrassed. that is an important future

[laughter] >> it goes back to pressure. is it cycle? will the generation addicted to ipads relies that you need more one-on-one time with people? >> i think these things are all cyclical. i think if you look at the media landscape, i was in paris yesterday and they were talking about some of the power and impact of doing things they had not done from a media perspective. magazines,gaged in but they decided to try outdoor and the power of outdoor in china. we have never heard of these companies before from china. the chair is moving. [laughter] it is interesting. outside of airports where they know people are traveling, it is important to have significant outdoor space. >> what do you think about wearables? >> why are you asking me that question? [laughter] >> i have no idea. [laughter] what do you think about them? companies are about to know so much more about the way you

martha: i remember the kyoto agreement, the president didn't want that deal because the chinese weren'tng to go for the deal. we have this situation where president obama is putting us in the forefront of cutting emissions yet one of the world's largest global polluters is not in the deal at all. i know the coal companies at home are none too happy with this either, i would imagine. >> the president has gone over our heads to do this. he's going to make new rules and regulations through the epa, not through congress, not through the elected representatives of the people, he's going through the epa. over our heads. not consulting the will of the people so he can get this totally lopsided cave-in deal. >> martha: stuart, thank you very much. if you are not sure where to watch fox business network log oon to foxbusiness.com. bill: congress is back in action. the republican senators meeting with leader mitch mcconnell. an introduction to the ways of the senate. meanwhile, democratic majority leader harry reid is considering a vote on the keystone pipeline during the lame duck session. they

to the 1997 kyoto first ol, which was the global treaty that attempted to carbon emission limits -- notably, china was not among those developing nations -- but determined at ton the time, though he had helped seal the deal, that he would not even submit that treaty to the u.s. senate because he did not think he had the votes than. even tougher situation now. so president obama is going to look to proceed through executive action. >> once again, talking about executive action here. this past week after the deal announced, jim is projected to be the next year. he took to the senate floor to deal and to his question the sincerity in keeping to its commitments. china ever agree, unilaterally, to reduce its emissions when that is the only way they can produce electricity? right now, and i have talked to them -- i have talked to people of smile at ho kind say, wait a minute, you are going to believe is that we are going to do submissions? we apply the united states. we want the united to reduce mission because, if they do that, the manufacturing base hhas to leave the united states and they come
