there could be no sochi olympics, no vancouver or squaw valley or sarajevo olympics. and that's if we're able to stabilize and ultimately reduce our global carbon emissions before the year 2100. if carbon pollution continues on the current pace, only six of these cities could host the games. forget about torino and that begano -- nagano, lake placid and lillehammer. over 110 athletes signed a letter asking leaders to take action to curb climate change. they said and i'll quote here -- "as winter olympic athletes, our lives revolve around the winter and if chieng -- climate change continues at this pace, the economies of the towns where we live and train will be ruined. our sports will be forever changed and the winter olympics as we know it will be a thing of the past." much as we all love the winter olympics, we could do without them. we can't very well do without freshwater. glaciers represent the largest reserves of freshwater on earth. their freshwater feeds our rivers and streams, waters our farms and ranches, and provides some of our drinking water. glacier loss

we laid out the back drop against which these olympics were taking place. and forgive me for taking your time here, but i want to make it clear about my colleagues at nbc sports. they did not run scared from vladimir putin. they said, mark lazarus who runs nbc sports and all my colleagues not only did a beautiful job of presenting the olympics as sports, but where appropriate and judiciously, they did what we said we would do, which was frame the issues against which this unique olympics took place -- >> and then come -- >> and cover the games, but if something came up, like when members of pussy riot ran into difficulties, we noted it right away. >> for costas after the break, where he went wrong in the gun debate and whether he should be using sports casts as a political soap box. latest in the investigation into those on board with stolen passports. keep it right here on fox. >>> more now of my conversation with nbc's bob costas as we move on to such sensitive subjects as gun control. >> this goes beyond the olympics. you waded into the controversy over

go ahead. >> i will pick up where you stopped with the olympics. it refers back to the question about different measurements. within russia, these are two consecutive victories. in international politics, the crimean situation seems to have annulled whatever was gained by the winter olympics. it was a limited exercise to protect russia's influence and show that russia is still strong. in terms of potential further intervention, let me risk producing one more nightmare scenario. why don't you demand the corridor? that could be a clever move from a certain point of view. it is all possible. at the same time, we must be aware of the fact that people in the kremlin, the ministry of defense, the ministry of finance, there are some sensible people. they must be able to at least make the case. the risks grow exponentially as you continue down that path. that probably partly answers the question about moldova. moldova will get close attention from the european union. the association agreement is already in the pipeline. the free trade area is probably goin

go ahead but otherwise you have to compete in the olympic games. and also the cheating and doping scandals that's a huge problem for olympic committee and i would imagine also for paralympics how big of an issue is it. well i don't see it as a major issue. doping doping by athletes even though it's absolutely true that we have had a few positive cases over a great number of years we absolutely are of course against the use of those products in sport. of course members of all of compliant with the world anti-doping agency. list of banned substances and of course also very much in favor of education programs so that athletes know it does not pay to cheat by by by doping but we do not have a major issue but we are very very much involved in ensuring that that continues to be the case so are there any athletes take part in the paralympics who have also taken part in the olympics beforehand. that is something with the winter games that . i'm not aware of and i don't have an ounce of for that so i could always come back on a later program with the answer
