the big problem that critics have with the paris climate deal and other related initiatives and the kyoto accords before that is that it puts so much burden on the united states and western europe and other advanced economies that have actually reduced their carbon output. the united states achieved that by in large by the natural gas revolution that occurred with fracking, so that you have a decline in coal use and more natural gas, a little bit has come from renewables. that was technology. that wasn't government regulation. anyway, china continues to increase its carbon output frankly because i think it is not as concerned as the western elite you see gathering in glasgow about the threat of climate change or the correlation of human carbon output to that change. >> eric: he did address and acknowledge the rise in gas prices here in our country. here's what the president said about the issue of gasoline. >> on the question of oil prices, economists say that, you know, when you raise the price of something, people will consume less of it. so why not allow even middle class people around

they're frankly underwermed for 40 years since kyoto they have not acted. made mistakes in the past but we're prepared to lead. if we don't, we're not going to be very happy with countries who have significant economic clout but don't share with us. >> we mentioned manchin wants out and we heard from president biden saying, look, he's looking to get the deal done. you've voiced real displeasure. are you frustrated? how frustrate ready you with these two democrat iic senators and perhaps with the democratic president? >> look. it's important to understand that all it takes is a majority. the problem as we sit here is not one senator. the problem is 52 senators who believe that pharmaceutical costs are too low apparently, that there isn't enough wealth inequality in the world, that the climate isn't heating up. that's a problem. i'll take any senator who's actually willing to stand up and do that. now, to be fair, if we get everything done, we still have a very transformative bill. we're doing fantastic things in here to lower -- you know, to provide seniors

going back to the kyoto protocol in '97 in which the rich countries say, okay, we're going stop emitting the pollution that cooks the planet. back to the paris accords in 2015, in both cases the u.s. was at the table leading the negotiations and then pulled away after a republican president was elected, so biden is bringing a full contingent of cabinet members, enough to field a soccer team, football as they say here in glasgow ranger country and he's got john kerry and gina mccarthy and barack obama is going to make an appearance here as well. he has the pope weighing in on this, who probably would have done it regardless of the president's visit there just to say we're all. in the states, know, some of our biggest economic engines of california and new jersey, they are way ahead of the curve and meanwhile back in congress that sort of multi-trillion dollar in an ideal universe, biden universe, multi-trillion dollar climate-heavy package that he was hoping to bring here as proof is not happening yet. >> reporter: look, that is a range of things and an interesting point that you bring up

and just to remind people, the kyoto protocol back in the mid-'90s was the first time rich countriess, yeah, we should cut down on our pollution. but then a republican president backed away from that. and and then of course the paris accord of 2015, donald trump did the same. sort of the wide golds are to keep the hope of that 1.5 degrees warming alive. right now we're at 1.1. even if all these countries keep the promises of paris, it will be put us at between 2.7 and 3 degrees. anything close to 4 means pretty much the end of life as we know it. so it's never too late to try to save as much as we can. there's the coal piece, unabated coal. stop digging it. leave it in the ground. providing that $100 billion fund. they're years behind on that promise to help those countries. and then methane is a big one. it's sort of the 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the short term and much easier to control in the short term. you got to tackle methane if you want to tackle the whole thing. >> there's no question about that. all right. bill weir, thanks so much for that report. our chi

bush, never ratified the kyoto protocol and say, if the u.s. need to put their money where their mouth is before they encourage other countries to try to do the same, particularly developing countries, that say we didn't cause the global warming and don't have the funds to pay for. it one big leader who will not be in glasgow, president xi of china who governors the biggest polluting country on the planet. hear what is secretary of state antony blinken had to say about china's lack of participation today. >> it's ultimately going to be up to china as now currently the world's largest emitter to decide whether it is going to do the right and important thing for its own people. but also for everyone around the world because you're right, unless we're all in this together in taking the steps necessary to keep warming to 1.5 degrees celsius, then it's going to be a problem. >> it's not all about the world leaders who are attending this summit, alex. there's a whole host of major climate activists, government and corporation leaders who are going to

having pulled out of the kyoto protocol and subsequently the pairs agreements.e need to do a lot to restore our trust and this legislation is a big part of that. rep. brownley: thank you. with that, madam chair, i yield back. rep. castor: mr. gonzales, you are recognized for five minutes. >> i want to mention that china has no binding commitment to maintain targets, so it is easy to meet something when you have no commitment to achieve. there is a suggestion today that it is a lack of wealth or lack of ambition that prevents climate action. my view is it is a lack of realism in many respects with respect to the trade-offs different countries will have to make. certainly a lack of global coordination and a lack of appropriate technology. the developed nations, notably germany, that have moved full on into solar and wind at the highest rates in the developed world, certainly in europe, and have not achieved their client targets. that has to do with the fact that they keep shutting down where plants, which makes no sense to me. another fact or projection, roughly 7

notice the manning at the top to keep the pigeons out of the raft is very clever >> here she was in kyotoblossoms in full bloom >> the place is gorgeous. >> and he took me to lots of great places, he was patient, but he decide to get impatient with me. because i love taking pictures, and i was on lots of beautiful scenery in japan, so i was snapping pictures most of the time. >> maybe wiping quite enough attention to him. >> yes it was the end of the trip he got a little bit testy with me, because i wasn't warming up to him. >> so eventually they had words the trip to the far east went south. mind you michael, yeah eric ever the gentleman's gave up his first costly home to dallas, so gina could experience flying up front on that international flight. when the plane hit the ground, the relationship -- . >> it really bothered me. that somebody could live the fly, and he was calm, he was cool about it, he said well if you ever change your mind my door will always be open to. >> but it was a breakup? >> it was a break up. >> then for a few months gina danced on the head of her dilemma. >> how

1996 and 97 as the world was debating in an agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions known as the kyoto protocol. here's what he said in 1996, and i quote, currently the scientific evidence is inconclusive as to whether human itactivities are having a significant affect on the global climate and i would like to place his statement in the record without objection. this was no slip of the tongue. in 1997 he gave another speech where he denounced at the facts tand said, quote, the case for global warming is far from airtight. when exxon ceo made these remarks aboutt the inconclusive natureur of the scientific evidence, were they consistent withth the views of exxon's own scientists? >> thank you for the question. i appreciate the opportunity. our understanding of the science has been aligned with the consensus of the community as far back as 20 years ago when you referenced our chair man at the time and as science has evolved and developed as has our working position. >> as you make your statement, i am reminded of another hearing that we had with the tobacco industry. we had all the execu
