Promise is clean energy but will locals also benefit. First though we talk to scientists about the connection between Climate Change and Natural Disasters. In. Extreme weather events are growing ever more frequent Natural Disasters more destructive and deadly h one reignites the debate was it a freak of nature or a result of Climate Change and human activity. Recent hurricanes harvey and maria killed over two hundred people in the u. S. In the caribbean and they cause nearly a trillion dollars worth of damage. From an outspoken Climate Change skeptic visited the disaster area and he continues to rule out that human activity could have caused the catastrophe. But now theres a field of science which for the first time is able to estimate whether a Natural Disaster was likely due to human caused Climate Change or not by a young german physicist at Britains Oxford University is studying Hurrican Harvey similar studies on the floods in louisiana last year produced clear results.

That was to be my point, sir, and i will make it right now. The notion that because there is concurrently under way an impeachment inquiry before the house of representatives, that somehow makes this a nonjusticiable political notion. It is not supported by sound constitutional law or by any of the decisions of this court, and indeed, i would submit that to the extent the court has discretion in the matter, and although this court has now been given discretionary certiary power, District Courts have no such option, it would not be a wise discretion for this court to stay. This is not a request between two jurisdictional committees over who has discretion over a bill. Its not even a dispute between a president and a cabinet officer over what proper executive policy ought to be. This is a criminal proceeding, a federal criminal case against six defendants. A subpoena has been issued to obtain evidence for use at the trial, which is scheduled to begin on september 9. The court cannot esca
Expect because of that. A question on nuclear if i may. Based on what you said, is it correct to surmise that your forecast for nuclear includes no additional new construction . No additional new construction. There are couple of plants that are already under construction. There are four, and there are one or two more [indiscernible] but i think it is probably fair to say that you are not going to see a huge increase in the overall capacity numbers for nuclear, that new growth is going to be just about enough to offset the retirement. It adds a little bit. I think those numbers last year we had nuclear expanding by a little bit and i think this year we have nuclear contracting by a little bit. A question on Carbon Dioxide emissions figure. I think you said we are down nine percent now from the 2005 peak. Im just curious why 2005 was a peak year, considering it was two or three years before the economic downturn. What caused emissions to decline from 2006 onward . It seems almost like t
Issue. Finally, the United States and europe need to get serious on alternatives. Practical projects that reinforce cooperation can help u. S. And eu approaches to climate change. I Hope Congress will find a way to allow the government to issue lng export licenses in a sufficient number for u. S. Lng to make a difference under an allied Energy Security act ian while not have an Immediate Impact it will not solve europes problems on the Energy Security it will be a very, very important political message. It would send the political message it would send is incall clabl especially to Vladimir Putin. By the way, i hope senator johnson in the course of the debate you will ask me what i think is ahead of Vladimir Putin when hes stopped short of invading the whole of the ukraine but maybe at another time. What really is at stake here in conclusion i would say is the cohesion and resilience of democratic and free societies. This is really an enormous task. And i do feel the United States must
