and that is because of the 1997 kyoto protocol decision to exclude those emissions or have them countcountry the bases are located in. so the other thing we don't know is a large portion of emissions from operations. at kyoto, the decision was taken not to include operations from war that were sanctioned by the united nations or other multilateral operations. so those emissions are not included. there is also something known as bunker fuels, which are the fuels used on planes and aircraft -- i'm sorry, aircraft and ships in international waters. most of the united states navy's operations are in international waters, so we don't know those emissions. those are excluded. the reason for that was in 1997, the dod sent a memo to the white house saying if emissions were included, and the u.s. military might have to reduce its operations. they said in their memo, a 10% reduction in emissions good lead to a lack of readiness. and that lack of readiness would mean the united states would not be prepared to do two things. one is not be militar -- militarily superior. and secondly, not be able

sure everything is legally sound, and don't forget there are three different texts, one relating to kyoto paris, and the new one, cop26 as it is known, they will go through all of that, and then what you will see on the stage is alok sharma going through each one and giving a formal agreement of what has been put down in text in those documents. we are waiting for alok sharma to retake his seat at the stage. alok sharma to retake his seat at the staue. ., ., ~ alok sharma to retake his seat at the staue. ., . ~ ., the stage. you were talking a little earlier about _ the stage. you were talking a little earlier about the _ the stage. you were talking a little earlier about the gradual _ the stage. you were talking a little | earlier about the gradual expanding of the bit in brackets, the contentious parts of this text in the course of this last couple of days, and certainly overnight. are we now at a stage where there is an accepted text, even if individual countries are still baulking at some of the language, that it has been voted through, in effect? yes. of the language, that it has bee

that relates to a legal international treaty that was signed international treaty that was signed in kyoto. they also talk, you might hear him talk about cma, which relates to the paris agreement, and there is the text for the cop26 which is a ten page document relating to everything that has been discussed here in glasgow over the last two weeks. with me is the executive director of destination zero. we will keep looking at these pictures, catherine, because we may be coming close to a finale. you were sitting alongside tina from the marshall islands, i can see how exhausted she is right now because she has been working right through the night and she has been leading the night and she has been leading the small island states, as the chief negotiator, really. you can feel the frustration. i think that this particular trip from delegates for developing countries, from small island states would travel choose distances, often totally outnumbered by delegates from developed, vets, western countries, and that was particularly pronounced at this cop, given covid, given vaccine in equity, so i t

ah, that was called 3 in japan which produced the kyoto protocol. and this one here is 2015 cop 21 in france. when we got to paris agreement, both of those landmark deals, even if everyone didn't sign up for them. so what you're looking at is global temperature increases. this line here is the 0 degree line. this line here is the one and a half degree line. you're looking at monthly intervals, which is why the graph is in a little erratic, but the trend mean that's pretty simple to see. it is always heading upwards towards that crucial on point 5 degrees. now what have we got here? annual c o 2 emissions, global c o 2 emissions again. pretty self explanatory on the up and up. we were at 25000000000 below 25000000000 tons in 1995 and now up above 35000000000. but when you start to look at the numbers by countries and regions, then it's not to get interesting. for example, who am it's the most c a t? well, it's easy, it's china, isn't it? big read block, clear? 27 percent of global emissions. the usa with 15 percent, and this yellow block as the a you

a lot of the things that he wanted to achieve, which they only managed 40 odd countries in kyoto, nowe the answer to climate change if we can decarbonise. it's driven him for years, even if it was before he had the stroke. it's something that drives him still. he wants to be there and make the case. at papa's fish and chips, john prescott might as well be back on the campaign trail, smiling for the cameras. perfect portion of chips. he's here to learn about how papa's, the biggest fish and chip shop in the world, has been cutting its carbon emissions. and we are reusing everything we can to make it the most i efficient process possible. the company says it has halved its gas bill by using an 80% more energy efficient fryer. whilst the fat they use is turned into biodiesel, and the potatoes come from just a few miles away. there you go. looks ready, beautiful bit of fish. in here, john. there we go. john prescott promises that from now on all his fish and chips will be low carbon. but he's also made an even bigger announcement this week. he's sold his jaguar. so, time to call him zero

the agreements at paris and kyoto take years of work ahead of time so people know those kinds of agreements magically. i am hopeful major announcements can still be made, i have an ion climate financing in particular, how we can help developing countries like india leapfrog dirty fossil fuels and go right to renewables and low carbon technologies so we will take — let's see what is still to come. i5 take - let's see what is still to come-— take - let's see what is still tocome. , ., ., , , to come. is that goes beyond, we have talked _ to come. is that goes beyond, we have talked about - to come. is that goes beyond, we have talked about 100 - we have talked about 100 billion that governments, rector of governments say they are ready to pledge, they keep falling short of that figure, but that we have this other figure which is the financial compact of i30 trillion being made available one way or another, whether you believe in the figure itself obviously it is exponentially bigger than the sum is the government is talking about putting up. it is of course _ talking about putting up. it is o

you know, the world has tried to use offsets before in previous climate agreements, namely under the kyoto protocol. and, you know, the credits that were created under that mechanism were really deeply flawed. and there are still countries that are still trying to use and trade those credits now . and that's also been something of a, of a disruption that's been a distraction in these climate negotiations. and so yeah, we really do need a lot of international coordination, not just government coordination at the federal level, but across borders to make sure everybody is playing by the same rules. nobody's trying to hide there and or any trying any kind of accounting gimmicks. and that, of course is really hard to do. i, yes, it was like a fast. i think it's also how we, you know, define offset. and so when you, when you look at the type of project, we want to make sure that risk is taken into account here. and so, you know, as i mentioned, forestry is a really big part of how often are currently in the market. but if we look at different types of carbon removal that you know isn't availabl

. >> from kyoto news, your line is open. >> thank you for taking my question. and i have a question to mr. hoshide. you have just mentioned about the difference between the soyuz space shuttles and the spacex crew dragon. could you explain a little bit more about the difference in terms of training and spacesuits and launching, landing, and could you just mention about the possibility of the future of the commercialization of space travel? >> thank you very much for the question. so, yeah, so we trained, maybe a year prior to launch on the crew dragon capsule. but mainly, you know, shane and megan as the pilots trained how to operate if case something happened. thomas and i were more focused inside with the spacesuits and the cargo packing and if something happens, then how to support shane and megan. and that training, i think, was great, you know, the spacex did a great job focusing on what we need. it wasn't a very long training period, but nevertheless, we got what we needed. the launch and landing itself, it's just like other spacecraft, but it was smooth.

then harriet respond of the back of this clip. canada was one of the countries that had signed the kyoto protocol committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. but at the same time, the government was aggressively supporting alberto oil sands, the largest industrial project on earth. what would you think of? i'm putting together something where the youth and the adults involved something like a youth council to help shape canadian environmental policy. well, we hear regularly from all kinds of canadian young and old business and environmental average grenades. there's not a national consensus to be had all the printers from across can get together and they can't agree on what to do. the for political parties in the house of commons govern opposition. can't agree what to do. there's also another $150.00 countries. we need to get them involved to do that. i don't think you mr. bad. very much. i thought slater responded to that very politely. i wonder if she would respond the same to day. it felt a little bit to me like and he, he took that, that one interview because he thought, oh, it'll

the cmp is the kyoto agreement, legally binding. cop, everything separate to paris that has been agreed in glasgow. to set the scene for you, over my shoulder, that's the door into the main plenary room, you can see the journalists waiting for the various leaders who might come out and talk to their teams. that's the business end of the summit, where it's all happening. there is a brief adjournment, as alok sharma said, they will huddle and talk, but the intention is that in perhaps the next hour, they will begin the formal process of adopting what is in these texts. let me take you quickly through the draught agreement which alok sharma hopes will be the last. starting with the paragraphs relating to the phasing out of coal and fossil fuel subsidies. that remains in the text, it has been slightly softened again with accelerating efforts towards... inefficient fossil fuels, accelerating efforts towards... inefficient fossilfuels, while recognising the need for transition, meaning help for workers in the fossil fuel industries. chang

in 1998, he led a petition calling for the united states to leave the kyoto protocol. the doctor claimed in a letter with the petition, and here again i'm quoting, increased atmospheric carbon dioxide environmentally helpful. mr. woods, were you aware that before he began publicly questioning climate science, dr. sykes had a role advising tobacco companies on their medical research? >> no, i'm not familiar with dr. sykes so i don't have any of that context. >> in the 1970s and '80s, dr. sykes advised the rj reynolds tobacco company helping oversee millions of dollars in research funding. he later explained that the tobacco companies, quote, didn't want us looking at the health effects of cigarette smoking. big oil tries to distinguish itself from big tobacco, but the fact is the disinformation campaign used for decades by the fossil fuel industry mirrors big tobacco itself in its playbook. injects uncertainty into the public discourse, undermines the science, all while continuing to reign in economic benefits. ultimately, the tobacco industry was held accountable for i

we are one of the few countries that made commitments when it came to kyoto and met those commitments. we're one of the few countries who's made commitments when it comes to paris. and we've met those commitments and we will beat them. and we're investing significantly in making sure that we will get to netzero by 2050 and i'm incredibly confident that we will be able to get there because when australia makes a commitment, it honors and not only will we make that commitment but we've made a commitment to work with all other countries to help them be able to achieve it through technology, partnerships. i met with the singapore trade minister earlier today where we've got our green economy agreement which we're negotiating at the moment. and that's to help australia and singapore meet that commitment to netzero by 2050. and that agreement will become i think a world leading agreement for the indo-pacific and my hope is other countries will join us because we've got to have a path and a plan to get -- haslinda: what it take for australia to get to netzero bringing that timetable forward

remember, there is one relating to kyoto and he will hear him talk about cp which is the key of the documents the hammer down on one document and then opens up down on one document and then opens up another. he, has president has responsibility for all three of these techs, which are living text and have been negotiating as part of the discussions here in glasgow. but a lot of responsibility. we should just talk about alloc sharma, there has been a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. it is not easy to bring 196 countries together and find a compromise. all the countries have to compromise and he is not here a brokerfor have to compromise and he is not here a broker for borisjohnson and borisjohnson's here a broker for borisjohnson and boris johnson's attempts to here a broker for borisjohnson and borisjohnson's attempts to make this summer to success. he is the brokerfor this summer to success. he is the broker for each this summer to success. he is the brokerfor each and every this summer to success. he is the broker for each and every party at the summit in glasgow, from the smallest ma

bush backed away from the kyoto protocols many years ago. of course, trump pulled out of paris.ens if the white house swings republican in a few years? that's the concern. but they also are pressing the message that 60% of the u.s. economy, big states like california, new jersey, are doing everything they can along the terms of the paris accords. and that ultimately the free market may not be moving fast enough to meet the demands of science. but just as sort of the momentum of moving away from whale oil a century ago, moving away from horses and buggies into automobiles, the energy sector is going to get clean. it's just the smartest business going forward. so they're hopeful that momentum both in the public and private sector would survive any switch in the white house. >> all right. bill weir, we'll have to leave it there. chief climate correspondent. thanks so much, bill. >> thanks, bill. >>> all right. the nhl commissioner speaking out for the first time on a former player's allegation of sex abuse by the coach and the team's gross mishandling of the incident. andy scholes

that relates to a legal international treaty that was signed international treaty that was signed in kyoto she is right now because she has been working right through the night and she has been leading the night and she has been leading the small island states, as the chief negotiator, really. you can feel the frustration.

as veteran climate activist bill mckibben points out, the 1997 climate conference in kyoto did not anditure convention the same place. but the push to continue these talks is no sign that world leaders are not ready to give up and neither are the activists who are pushing down for change. today, hundreds of climate activists staged a dramatic walk out from the conference, demanding bold, immediate solutions to the climate crisis. you can hear than their chance -ing, we are unstoppable, another world is possible. with the faith of humanity hanging in the balance, what should we expect from these 11th hour negotiations? that's just the person to ask, joining us now is, in fact, bill mckibben. veteran climate activist, and founder of 3:50 dot org, he's been one of the leading climate change activists in america, in the world really, for decades. he was one of the first social movement leaders to build grassroots political support, to push political action on climate change. his organization led the years on campaign to stop the keystone xl pipeline, and he has been to every one of the sum

as veteran climate activist bill mckinnon points out, the kyoto conference did not end until the workers convention that was set to take place in the same space. world leaders are not yet ready to give up, and neither are the activists who are pushing them for change. today hundreds of climate activists staged a dramatic walkout from the conference, demanding bold, immediate solutions to the climate crisis. you can hear them there chanting "we are unstoppable, another world is possible." with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, what should we expect from these 11th hour negotiations? we've got just the person to ask. joining us now is in fact bill mckinnon, veteran climate activist and the founder of 350.org. he's been one of the350.org. he's been one of the leading climate change activists in the world really for decades. he was among one of the first social movement leaders to build grass roots political support to push political action on climate change. his organization led the years long campaign to stop the keystone excel pipeline and he's been to every one of these summit
