the time we exited kyoto, we reduced emissions by over 18% in this country. >> so kyoto is a success? i'm confused because we pulled out of kyoto. >> they didn't prompt the 18% reduction. it was american innovation and technology that prompted the reductions in co-2. that's where the focus should be as far as discussions. >> there seemed to be an implication during your back and forth with the white house press corps that the rest of the world wanted the united states in it to slow down the united states. do you believe that? >> i think the paris agreement very much so put us in an economic disadvantage. >> i understand. do you believe that was intentional, that was the intention? the re the. >> the rest of the world applauded what we did in paris. we have to go back -- >> why would they applaud it? >> because they put us at economic disadvantage. >> you think the globe, these countries got together to slow down the united states economically? >> why did china and india not have to take any steps until 2030? why did india condition the co-2 upon receiving aid in the agreement? we were

i was around when president bush decided not to put the kyoto protocol, maintain the kyoto protocol, and it's such a different era from that time in the sense that the -- there was a lot of push from the oil and gas industry, fossil fuel, many, many companies in this country not to be part of that agreement, in part because there were binding targets under kyoto, but also, it's just been a sea change in terms of corporate reaction to climate change. this is just one of the letters that have been put out in recent months. but also, just hundreds of other companies. lots of just pressing this administration to stay in the deal and i think -- my takeaway from that is what is fascinating is that in prior administrations democratic or republican you would basically -- those messages would certainly be swaying for an administration. but i think everyone has to keep in mind that this president did not run like -- run a campaign in that way. he's not necessarily responsive corporate pleas. it depends on the issue. in the end there was some feeling that a traditional campaign of getting all t

after we exited kyoto, we had reduce the carbon footprint by 18%. we let their action, not worth, not just simply those labels that are used. at the paris agreement with simply a bad deal for this country. the present has that we will continue engagement, continue weeding out reduction of co2, but we are not going to agree to situations like the paris accords that put us in an economic disadvantage as compared to the rest of the world. people forget that india conditioned all of their obligations under the paris accords upon receiving two and a half trillion dollars will take any steps until he receives them. china didn't have to take any steps until 2,030. when you look at that, if we are really serious about reducing co2, look at what america has done and follow our lead. >> shannon: the administration sent down two or agree to a different type of paris agreement? is there room for renegotiation? >> i think the president said engagement is going to continue. we are going to continue leading through action. as far as international discussions, if t

you saw it back in the days of kyoto protocol. president bush actually submitted that to the senate. it was rejected 95-0. we heard some of the same apocalyptic predictions when kyoto was rejected. from 2000, to 2014, because of american innovation and because of new technologies, we saw an 18% reduction in co2 emissions in this country alone. so we demonstrated real leadership. we demonstrated real progress. but for some reason or another this issue of climate change emerged as a paramount issue for the left in this country and around the world. through kyoto, through president obama's cap-and-trade agenda, and then through the, in the last year of his administration to have america saddled in an international agreement in the paris accord, i think put a real burden on our economy and our people. it was a bad deal for america. the president said so, he was elected to represent pittsburgh, not paris. i just have to tell you, it is a so refreshing to have a president who just stands without apology for the american people, for the

we led the world -- >> so kyoto a success i'm confused because we pulled out of kyoto. >>>> kyoto didn'tt the 18 reduction. it was american innovation and technology that prompted the ha reductions in co 2. that's where the focus should be as far as discussions. >> there seemed to be an implication during your back and forth with the white house president corps that the rest of the world wanted the united states in it to slow down the united states. do you believe that? >> i believe -- i think the very much so put us in an economic advantage. >> i understand.. do you think that was intentional?t >> i think the rest of the world applauded what we did in paris. we have to go back -- >> why would they applaud it? >> because they put us at economic disadvantage. >> you think the globe, these countries got together to slow e down the united states economically? >> why did china and india not have to take any steps until 2030??atat why didid india condition theiro 2 productions upon receiving $2.2 trillion in aid in the agreement? we were going to take steps frontloading our cost while the res

bush withdrew from the kyoto treaty.is like groundhog day, i'm experiencing the same outrage and the predictions of apocalypse and the world is coming to an end. and you know what happened when george bush pulled out of the kyoto treaty. in the next 14 years, we reduced emissions faster than the european countries criticizing donald trump. our emissions are at 1992 levels, not because of a treaty, not because of parchment signed in paris or kyoto. it's because of the free market economy, innovation. it's because of the hydraulic fracking and technologies that is going to continue regardless of the paris agreement. and by the way, we did it while keeping our energy prices, half those in europe. >> that follows your historical point, doug, but makes important economic one just because you're not in favor of a deal, doesn't mean you are necessarily anti-environment or anything like that, right? >> absolutely. we care about these issues very much. and i saw one the other day, we ran the numbers on it, yes, we'd be in real tr

it started in kyoto and negotiator. it started in kyoto and went all over the world.ow we know they can selectively work together. because they have common interests. it is not just the countries, they have common interests. it is notjust the countries, but they have common interests. it is not just the countries, but the company. if you look at it in the us, exxon, rex tillerson, the former wa key us, exxon, rex tillerson, the former wakey did that. they want the climate deal because it gives them visibility and certainty. it gives them planning certainty. they know what is coming down. —— the former work he did there. it is thursday. a week ago. in a week we will be going to the polls. —— a week to go. week we will be going to the polls. -- a week to go. did you watch the debate? yes, of course. big as i am still make you my mind. i am one of the undecided. —— because i am still making up my mind. i think was interesting was thatjeremy corbyn really upped his game. in the beginning, it was this blundering gentleman and now he has quite a strong message. but as it wa

there were binding targets under kyoto.s been a sea change in terms of corporate reaction to climate change. this is just one of the letters that have been put out in recent months. also, hundreds of other of companiests pressing this administration to stay in the deal. my take away from that is, what is fascinating is that prior administrations, democratic or republican, those messages would certainly be swaying for an administration. this president did not run like a campaign in that way. he's not responsive to corporate pleas. it depends on the issue. in the end, there was some feeling that a traditional campaign of getting these companies on board to save the paris agreement might save the day. that may not have been the case with this president. host: dean scott for bloomberg bna did thank you for your time -- bloomberg bna. thank you for your time. with that, your calls. lines will be on the screen. you can also post on our social media sites. floyd from jonesville, virginia says we should leave the agreement. tell us

you know what happened when he pulled out the kyoto treaty? in the next 14 years, we reduced our omissions by 18%. we reduced our missions faster than the european countries that are now criticizing a donald trump. our admissions are at 1992 levels. it's not because of a treaty, it's not because of a piece of parchment signed in paris in kyoto, it's because of the free market economy, innovation, and technology. it's hydraulic fracturing, that is going to continue regardless of this paris agreement. we did it while keeping our energy prices half of those in europe. we reduced our missions faster than europe and our energy prices are half of the european union average, one-third of during germany whs increasing emissions under the amazing rate, were doing better than all the people who are criticizing donald trump today. >> sandra: wilbur ross was on fox news a little bit ago, he said the president is not against an agreement, this isn't about the science, this is about the economics of this deal, he called it a transfer of wealth as market jus

borisjohnson a moment ago said that bill clinton never ratified kyoto. hear that, and there is no legitimate comparison there. there is not a question of whether bill clinton, the agreement had a structure and a formation that had in reality no chance of getting ratified in the us senate, that was too bad, we wanted it to happen but itjust wasn't going to happen and it wasn't because president clinton didn't try. do you think china is taking the place of america? is it emerging as the saviour of the planet? well, i don't think china is the saviour of the planet but i will say that i'm glad that china is making clear that they intend to stay in the agreement and to continue with their pledges. that's important. obviously the us and china together, the work that we did together, the diplomacy was enormously important to getting the agreement done. and it's a good thing that china wants to stay in. it's going to be also i think enormously important that europe, including the uk, step up and play a leadership role. and many other countries around the world.

. >> you know what happens when george bush pulled us out of the kyoto treaty? the next 14 years we reduced our emissions by 18%. we reduced our emissions faster than european countries that are criticizing donald trump. our emissions are at 1992 leveled and not because of a treaty or parchment signed in paris or kyoto but the free market economy, innovation and technology. hydraulic fracking, clean coal technologies that are reducing our emissions, that will continue regardless of the paris agreement. we did it while keeping our energy prices half of those in europe. we kept our energy prices half of the european average, one third of germany which is increasing its emissions, we are doing better than all these people criticizing donald trump to dance will continue regardless of this treaty. heather: donald trump signing a waiver keeping the us embassy open and tel aviv for now. this delay to jerusalem in hopes it could create peace talks between israel and palestine. the president promised to move during the campaign. israeli prime minister benjamin and yahoo

we had the rio summit in 19 two, kyoto, copenhagen which was a disaster, but and all seemed come togethersident trump could cause huge problems if he pulls america out. that's true. let's wait to see what happens. it is possible that he will say that he's been persuaded to stay in the paris climate change agreement, we are given to believe that his daughter ivanka trump has been trying to persuade him to keep america in it. we don't let if that's true. we know that all the developed countries and the pope at last weeks meeting made it a priority to tell president trump that he would notjust be damaging global co—operation that he would be damaging the economy because the paris climate agreement wasn't an act of mass or truism, it was an act of self interest including self interest of the united states. climate change does not stop at borders, it is already happening in the us which has had extraordinary droughts, storms urges and flooding. and now we know that the low carbon economy is full ofjobs and growth. so this would be an act of self harm as well as harm to the rest of the world. i

we pulled out of the kyoto protocol and 2001. if you read in march and april of 2001 the criticism levied against president bush, the comments are almost identical. >> bret: what is the prospect of renegotiating? >> europe wanted this. the president said were open to discussing it but we are not going to put america's interests second. the president took care of the american citizens today. >> bret: was their internal debate about it? we had heard that the secretary of state and ivanka and gerard were on one side, steve bannon on the other. >> i think it's the legend. what happened in the process is what happened with every decision. he had advisors around him. the debate was good and strong amongst all voices in the president made an informed decision. >> bret: if somebody looks at this and says we are stepping away from our environmental leadership. >> we lead through action, not words. look at what we've done. pre1994 levels in our co2 footprint. american innovation and technology, not because of government mandates. >> bret:

but we were not a leader and yyyy kyoto was a last decade for the united states. a germany, a huge country, because the united states stepped back for a while. and that is part of the issue we need to talk about. this is the industry of the future. the world is going have clean energy mmpl it's absolutely clear. and the nakt we don't want to own it, we don't want to dominate it is, is sad. >> and must v just more broadly w refour months into the terms, he is rubbing nato the wrong way. now with this decision, on the climate accords, it is sort of remarkable to have a president who is upsetting the apple cart in such a dramatic way, although, i guess his supporters will say, look, he came to change things. >> right, i mean, that's -- there are people who will support what he has done here. and he has played to his base. there is no question about that. he already has own accolades coming in on this. but it fundamentally rejects an understanding that every president since world war ii understand that is the united states is a leader. we talks about us as an average

>> kerry was one of the ones that voted against kyoto. look at the details of the deal that trump did walk us out of. it was a deal that had restrictions on a voluntary basis. it even exempted china and india from even the voluntary restrictions that they would impose on themselves for 20 years. and then the key component that nobody has been talking about is it would require the united states and a few of the other developed countries to send $100 billion a year to the undeveloped countries. that was the sweet ener they put in there to buy the vote of the undeveloped countries to support this. it was a dumb piece of international accommodation and donald trump put the reality to it that it should not continue. >> bill: we just focused on john kerry and al gore. were you surprised at the reaction and frankly the reporting after the decision of last thursday? >> well, i'm never surprised at the reporting of the left anymore. let's take some of the reaction, the elon musk. this is the elon musk that the "los angeles times" pointed out has b

for not being in the paris climate agreement and in fact we didn't enforce under president bush the kyoto pact from 1997 and you still had a collapse in emissions and rise in green jobs. what do you say? >> first of all this is a donald trump move, he gave a positive speech in the rose garden, exactly what he promised the american people he would do. my concern about jobs is this is going to be a distraction from the agenda, losing any good faith he had left with the left which was not much at all, a lot of fence sitters are going away from him, running away from him, he had elon musk resigned. a lot of people saying enough is enough. my fear is they won't compromise on tax reform or healthcare and tax reform is the key to economic growth. dagen: if you look at a recent poll, government spending, russian meddling and the economy were all more important issues than climate change. >> that is frankly shortsighted. i understand those things are immediate concerns when it comes to the safety and prosperity of our country but climate change is something that is crucial, something that impact e

in memory serves the vote of kyoto was 95 to 0.enator thought it was a good idea then. i have one more topic. >> the reason it was a bad deal in part was because president obama never submitted it to the senate. he had so little confidence that it would be approved and popular he did it unilaterally committing $3 billion of unappropriated money from the u.s. to this whole thing. if it's that great a deal then put it before the senate, let them vote on it. that has never happened. i'm glad the president did what he did. >> bill: you were in israel recently. during the campaign president trump said he would move the capital from tel aviv and jerusalem. it will not happen for now, perhaps forever. are you okay with that? >> no i'm not. i think the president should keep that campaign promise. he is saying it's a bargaining chip in the negotiation and it will happen, not a matter of if but when. i think frankly he should have done it right off the bat when he was sworn in. if not he should have done it when he was in jerusalem, perfect

john howard -- signed kyoto when george w. bush rejected so how can anyone have confidence that this government wants to do except wait that with the paris agreement? >> the prime minister. >> thank you mr. speaker but i think the honorable member for his question and mr. speaker i repeat today what i said on the 16th of november when the treaty was ratified. when australia makes the commitment to a global agreement they follow through and that is exactly what we are doing. we are committed to the paris agreement and we are on track, we are on track to meet our target. we are committed to ensuring that australians have affordable and reliable energy and do so while meeting our global commitments for emissions reduction. that is our commitment and what we are doing is taking real and practical action to get that job done. the deputy prime minister talked about our commitment to 2.0. the largest commitment to storage, to support renewable energy in the southern hemisphere. the labour party is officially an honor member date. it

i spoke to nancy snow, who is professor of diplomacy at kyoto university of foreign studies.lear programme needs more than just china and the united states. we also have to have other parties involved. we are talking here about international banks and other countries that are propping up this regime, so it's notjust us and china. i think, regime, so it's notjust us and china. ithink, too, with president trump in one of his tweets calling out china as having not been able to succeed with north korea wasn't very helpful, because china is very worried about having a refugee crisis on its burdens, —— its borders if it were to pull out all its support. we know 80 or 90% of the fuel that goes to north korea goads from china. can the chinese truly engage with the north koreans? because we haven't seen much change from the stance north korea shows the world, so is diplomacy even possible with that country? well, you don't want to give up on diplomacy, because the alternative is much worse here, and, with china, too, they have the most influence in north korea, but also regionally we

after kyoto, the issue was, the emerging economies are not in here.is deal puts them in here. the paris deal puts them in here. we don't have flexibility. we have flexibility. we are doing quite well in this direction. however, we do need paris. we do need to have policy that will guide us. i remind you, not just to policy that will guide us. i remind you, notjust to the paris goals, but even more carbon reduction is required. clearly the people in the united states that objects do so two france, they don't like america not having sovereignty over its own climate deals. and the workers who are employed in the fossil fuels industries, whether it is coal or oil, feel the agreement might cost them theirjobs. first of all, there is no evidence that today has been experiencing job loss, quite the contrary. we know there have been substantial losses in coal mining, which started long before this. it is technology, it is mechanisation, and most recently it is in fact the abundance of natural gas that has displaced coal as a market phenomenon on. that is the

kyoto all rolled into one. >> jesse: kaboom is right if you listen to television today. we went from leading from behind to america first today. this deal was initiated by barack obama, not the best dealmaker. i don't know if he wanted to knock america down or we got hoodwinked. it cost $3 trillion, it cost 6 million jobs. to what, hypothetically bring the temperature down a fraction of a percent in 100 years? they can continue to push coal, receive taxpayer money, and we can't do any of that. it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. spreading the wealth doesn't work. if it did, venezuela would be a paradise. president trump love the american worker. there's nothing wrong with that. i think democrats used to understand that, they don't anymore. he is beholden to the constitution. if obama wanted this done, he would've sent it to the senate for ratification. the democrats can't control their emotions, let alone the temperature in 100 years. at the same people that were saying hillary would be elected in november are telling us what the weather's going be like? i don't think

to be actively try and you know really detour we have little policy adjustments here and there the kyoto protocol the paris accord but are we really going to see an end to this negative trajectory that we've been seeing on multiple levels so the book attempts to do just that so why do we have these situations here ok well fair enough. at the heart of it all comes to our economy we have an economic system that was birthed in the mouth rusian period that's the period of time between the neolithic revolution up until the industrial revolution around the eighteenth century so you go back about twelve thousand years ago and we had a kind of geographical determinism if your people are familiar with cultural anthropology it's a very unique field and while we started agrarian society we developed property and ownership we developed capital in the means of production labor specialization regulation and government law enforcement and eventually we gave birth to what we know today as the market system of economics which has been fluid throughout this entire period of time we call capitalism today s

from the kyoto protocol and delivering on its implementation to securing mandates that led to the paris agreement, ensuring the success itself, including bringing into force in record time, europe has been at the center of it all. in paris, it was the marshall islands and the european union that march arm in arm with others into the historic agreement. with that in mind, i pay tribute to president unger, and other european leaders and ministers over the years for their commitment. they are true climate warriors. as are many of you who grace this chamber and others around the world. domestically, europe is demonstrating that economic growth and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases are both possible and are mutually reinforcing. your groundbreaking legislation and policies are being emulated by others around the world. leadership, and implementation, you are turning this into reality and beginning to put in place what is needed to deliver on your paris promises. the eu and its member states together provide 40% of all global public climate finance. the eu is also the biggest provider of

. >> sean: how would it impact -- >> -- >> we talked about the kyoto treaty.quires us to impose the energy rationing policies, the global warming rules, increasing the price as president obama put it. causing your electricity rates to skyrocket. that the price the most bondable energy out of your reach. as president obama said, we have finally made renewable energy profitable. by the way, not trump campaign contributors. this is about rewarding clinton supporters. it tightens every five years in perpetuity. this is the agreement. it's done. there's no seat at the table. i hope president trump's advisors remind him -- that lame talking point about having a seat at the table -- it requires perpetuity of us. most countries don't have an obligation. you are increasing energy poverty. >> sean: i thought it was all finished. anybody and everybody like us -- we are just climate deniers but it went from literally global cooling in the next ice age to global warming and now they have broad climate change and of course, they even had in some instances, manipulating data

realized after the kyoto agreement -- they decided with john kerry among them to have voluntary standardsw do you make sure that china lives up to its voluntary standards, or germany, or america, or russia? peer pressure around the world, they came up with an idea that is not about hypocrisy. and coulter's right, we are all sinners. on the one sign is donald trump talk about not knowing what's in the agreement is obviously a guy who was quite ill equipped, inexperienced and without knowledge about issues like thi this. >> tucker: you've already made a mistake in characterizing the agreement i wonder how much you know. >> trump's statement in rose garden said this nonbinding agreement is so draconian -- which is at which mark is at coercive enter coney and on the other side, a majority of voters in every state according to frank luntz wants to stay in paris. >> tucker: you're not answering my question. everyone wants it, great. you're a smart guy, i want you to talk about the agreement itself. if i want you to tell me why if you're concerned, you think that's causing global warming, why yo

remember when al gorere goes ovr to japan and he negotiated the kyoto records.ea n not goody this if that treaty flew to china and india. fast forward, the accord gives a very easy pass to china and india, big polluters. it's dead on arrival which is why obama neverer submitted it o the senator the first place. for all these people who are yelling and screaming about how there's a consensus and most people and can suntory are concerned about it. most people are concerned about jobs, jobs, and jobs, this is a job killer and i salute donald trump for fulfilling yet another campaign promise. >> sean: how do you make it -- almost universal, sort of like a mass psychotic breakdown. a psychosis has broken out, all the people in hollywood, i would argue probably all of them has been out there flying on their private jets all over the world which is fine. enjoy your success. americans who need them on food stamps and poverty, crimes against humanity, acts against the entire planet, usa to earth, if you, we got to hear this from these people with their lifestyles? no tha

we had the kyoto agreement and that did not pass through the president was not going to put somethingon the senate floor that olga by the way ohio and michigan would be detrimental to the workers there who voted for donald trump. this is something they don't want to go into a symmetry debate as they can get a pass. kennedy: that's exactly what should happen now. we will learn more on its demise but it should go to the senate and it should die there. the senate's number two republican just made a bold claim that the senate will absolutely get a health care bill passed by july at the latest. that's a hard promise for a senate majority whip. john cornyn to keep but he doesn't even sound that confident when he talks about the quality of the bill saying one thing i am sure of is this won't be perfect but if it's better than obama kerry think we will have to build on the promise we made a election after to repeal and replace obamacare. you might recall the house reviled american health care act was supposed -- pass by two votes. can congress get health care figured out the summer? july as n
