He has written a book about his experiences in a country that is undergoing rapid change and it is called age of ambition. George packer has said that evan osnos gives us 21stcentury china the way the best journalists gave us the gilded age. Im pleased to have him back at this table. Welcome. George was rather complimentary, wasnt he . He knows the gilded age. The first one and the one we are going through now so i appreciate the comment. Whys it hard to define the ambition of china . It operates on two levels. You have the national ambition, the one we see every day over here. It is the one pushing china out into the south and east china sea. It is a remarkable thing to see. The one that is harder to see, the one you see on the ground when you live in china and talk to people is the ambition in their personal live

My ambition is to, at some point, be able to write something truly original, to Say Something that is true that hasnt been said before. Of course, that is extremely ambitious, and i dont think i have been able to do that yet, but i have to keep that ambition, you know. I have to have something that will make me get up in the morning, and i think just doing that, just writing something that lasts longer than i have. Charlie we conclude this evening with another look at the environment from fred krupp, president of the Environmental Defense fund. What most people dont know, charlie, is the Global Warming being caused by todays emissions, half of that is being caused not by Carbon Dioxide but by the shortlived climate pollutants and, of that half, methane is twothirds of that, the most important. So it turns out that, right now, we have a tremendous opportunity to take a bite out of americas footprint on Global Warming by reducing the emissions of these methane from oil and gas. Charlie o
