i did some that evanovich thank you for sitting down with us the first question is about the kyoto protocol what's your take on it. it is an efficient international regulation mechanism which allowed the participating states to get a taste of collector work it was not simple if you look at the protocol now the issue in question is whether to prolong the second period of the protocol i would say that it is an efficient and applicable in its current format president medvedev us said russia was not going to take part in the second period of the protocol the reason for that is set out in the fourth report of an intergovernmental experts group which states that global warming as accelerating in order to prevent a reversible climate change we have to make sure that global temperature grows by more than two degrees celsius if it grows to a higher level they accumulated changes in the climate and the biota will make life on earth very uncomfortable for civilisations the numbers in the fourth reports state that all developed countries and we know that not every developed country is currently a membe

developed countries and we know that not every developed country is currently a member of the kyoto protocol we have to reduce their emissions by at least forty percent and then keep working on reducing them so that's why the kyoto protocol in its current form put out every developed country included on amendment b. or do you want us on the list of participants and with china being the number one source of emissions just pointless other developed countries such as india mexico and brazil that are not subject to any obligations in the current format of the protocol to. some scientists believe global warming is a natural process that he was called influences are you supportive of that theory you are new york the global warming hypothesis that we currently use and its connection to human generated emissions is confirmed by mainly models that ruled on calculated these models show that there is a link as the concentration of greenhouse gases grows so the global temperature levels there is theory stating that the warming is connected to geological and cosmic cycles those theories as you understand

some say the kyoto protocol should be extended so the industrialized countries will be required to cut emissions. at the beginning of the meeting, the head of the u.n. climate change secretaryiate called on participating nations to compromise. >> when the stakes are high and the issues are challenging, compromise is an act of wisdom thatta can unite different positions in creative ways. the task is not easy, but it is achievable. i know that. >> reporter: attention will focus on whether the conference can overcome the gap in the rich and poor nations and develop a new international rule to curb global warming. >>> a day in the mountains of central japan turned to tragedy. two men are dead after they were hit by an avalanche on tuesday morning. police say the men were part of a group of six skiers and snow boarders when the avalanche struck at 2,400 meters. three of the survivors have been hospitalized with broken legs. the remaining man is unharmed and managed to ski down the mountain by himself. the weather was clear at the time with temperatures rising from the morning. >>> u.s. and

japan's environment minister is trying to drum up opposition to a plan to extend the kyoto protocol. xempts the united states and china from cutting greenhouse gas emissions. the conference is supposed to discuss an international framework to replace kyoto. the agreement expires in 2012. china and other developing countries are pushing for an extension. the treaty obliges japan and other industrialized nations to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. the u.s. has not ratified the treaty. the european union has signed on. it is considering accepting an extension, but it wants major polluters such as the u.s. and china to press to cut emissions. japan's environment minister ryu matsumoto said it will not help reduce carbon dioxide emissions. matsumoto promised japan plans to do everything it can to create a new framework that will include all major emitters. >>> japan's domestic auto production dropped in october for the first time in a year as sales tumbled following the end of the government's subsidy program. eight japanese carmakers said on friday their output during the month totaled

[applause] when he stepped down from being prime minister, after continuing the so-called special relationship between the u.s. and u.k., and working closely with my successor, president bush, tony asked me what i thought he should do. i said, you should -- you have been through so much and you have one these elections, there is this turmoil. you need to take some time off and hang around with your wife and kids and take six months and decide what you are going to do. he listened very intently as he always does, and completely ignored, it buys. [laughter] instead, he immediately accepted a request to

basically if we all did the key kyoto -- -- protocol. we shoot 300 to 500 polar bears a year. why don't we talk about stop shooting 300 polar bears. >> bjorn, don't you feel. i read your stuff and watched the movie. yes, you make a powerful cross benefit analysis. it reminded me very much, i hope you will be the flattered by this, but reminded me of your playing the role of ben bernanke, who in the midst of the subprime crisis in '07, said, quote, the troubles in the market for risky mortgages thus far don't appear to be spreading to the overall economy. he was saying don't worry. a small problem. we have time to deal with it. of course then it expanded in a way that brought destruct, to the world economy. isn't the possibility that this is, is the same situation sufficient to say we should in fact do something really dramatic? >> i will not go into the quote. i will take a little look at the global warming argument. right now al gore and everyone else have had 20 years to prove their policy. they have done nothing. i am simply saying if you actually care about this issue why

if you do the kyoto protocol, you'll save one each year. we shoot 300 polar bears each year.ooting them first? this. jon: and there are other examples of this kind of logic. where can people see it if they want to see it? the it's playing in the limited release? >> yes, it's playing all across the u.s., 125 theaters. go get your friends to see it, and really let's have a cool conversation. jon: has al gore seen it yet? >> no, i doubt that he has. he doesn't want to engage in this conversation, but i think one of the things we need to do is start having that conversation of the smarter way forward. jon: interesting. thank you for coming in. jenna: we're seeing developments in many downtown manhattan, we're going to update everybody on the other side of the break. >>> also, our town hall panel is gearing up to answer your questions on the lame duck session of congress. what truly can be done during this time? you can log on to our live web chat, just go to foxnews.com and join the conversation.
