Sustainable, and that there is a chance of reimbursement. Woodruff plus, an environmental shock to the economy setting a price to hedge against the risks of Climate Change. I want the government, to put a price on co2 that everybody pays in order to set the right incentives. Woodruff those are some of the stories were covering on tonights pbs newshour. Major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by supported by the john d. And catherine t. Macarthur foundation. Committed to building a more just, verdant and peaceful world.

Thank you. Ifill once again, members of the u. S. Military have been killed in a barr
And expedia should consider a fleet wide averageing program permitted spender section 231 which would allow the agency to achieve the greatest initial reduction at lowest cost. The agency should address operational and air Traffic Management practices which could provide Emission Reduction opportunities that lowcost. Finally epa must require any aircraft that cannot meet the requisite final standard or cannot be retrofitted to achieve it to phase out and ultimately retire. It is critical epa credible that outdated aircraft from polluting our skies and contributing to Climate Change while more efficient designs are readily available. Sierra club appreciates epas efforts to move forward with Greenhouse Gas emissions for aircraft and we urge the agency to the epicenter strong force the epa must take the time necessary to develop appropriate and well considered final rule, time is of the essence. In december president obama and Administration Officials will travel to paris to negotiate an
Domestic co2 Emission Standards. Third, potential domestic reporting requirements for aviation manufacturers under the Clean Air Act. Epa has proposed endangerment findings focus on six key Greenhouse Gases but we concur with this approach with caveats. We agree with epa the assessment scientific uncertainties on the Climate Impact of nitrogen oxides or nox and water vapor emitted at altitude remain high enough so as not to address them in this initial endangerment finding. Science with black carbon to Climate Change on the other hand, is clear. Black carbon was identified as the second most important contributor to anthropogenic emissions in 2013 to. To reflect the latest icp should consider incorporating black carbon in its final aviation endangerment finding. Also while we do not support integrating crude nox under the endangerment finding, epa should consider expanding its existing nox reporting requirement for aircraft, Engine Manufacturers, landing and takeoff emissions to includ
Between aviation and the this time on Weather World we are in Northern Ireland, airside at Belfast International airport. We are going behind the scenes to find out what it takes to keep these planes flying and you and i safe, whatever the weather. Also on Weather World, devastation and deadly floods in south america. But some dramatic escapes too, after months of Heavy Rain Leave towns under water and mud as landslides kill hundreds. Weather bomb the storms so strong they hold a unique place in Weather Science and have taken california from drought to deluge, with the ground giving way. And extreme heat, wildfires as parts of australia endure their hottest summer. Plus, you have some history there. Taking the temperature, i will be opening the archives of one of the worlds longest running Weather Observations and watching how it is still being done today. And i will be taking a trip back to my own Family History and aviations past to see how some of todays technology was born. Welcome
