In Seattle, where I'm from, we've become part of a great global array of cities that are now working together bypassing government altogether, national government altogether, in order to try to meet the carbon reduction goals of the Kyoto Protocol.
In order to reduce cost and our own carbon footprint, we started utilizing local biomass as soil amender and fertilizers.
We train pharmaceutical technicians for the pharmacy industry, we train medical technicians for the medical industry, and we train chemical technicians for companies like Bayer and Calgon Carbon and Fisher Scientific and Exxon.
Again, you can see good decisions can bring quick results, and those two transformations, the economy and the structure and the climate and the low carbon, are intimately intertwined.
They hold water in the soil and they take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, fundamental to the tackling of climate change.
It has ambitions to be a middle-income country 15 years from now and to be carbon neutral.
Information should be free, and access to information should be free, and we should be charging people for carbon.
Top half carbon sequestered in the forest where it belongs, bottom half carbon in the atmosphere where it's driving climate change.
In fact, the number two cause of carbon being released into the atmosphere is forest destruction.
Whale carcasses are also known to transport about 190,000 tons of carbon, which is the equivalent of that produced by 80,000 cars per year from the atmosphere to the deep oceans, and the deep oceans are what we call "carbon sinks," because they trap and hold excess carbon from the atmosphere, and therefore help to delay global warming.
And we see some evidence now that China's efforts on clean energy is actually having an effect, not just on air pollution reduction, but also on global climate change, where China has the world's largest carbon footprint.
This is a major reason why China's government announced that actually they've already achieved their 2020 carbon reduction pledge ahead of schedule.
At the end of last year, after roughly three years of pretty steady global carbon emissions, scientific projections suggest that global emissions may be on the rise again and that could be due to increases in China's fossil fuel consumptions, so they may not have reached that peak that I showed earlier.
Actually, it's funny, since I've been here I've been having a debate on Twitter with other climate modelers, trying to figure out whether China's carbon emissions have gone up, gone down or whether they're staying relatively stable.
What they do on carbon trading, on clean energy, on air pollution, we can learn many lessons.
Three quarters of that is in the temperate zone, and just one quarter is in the tropics, but this one quarter, one billion hectares, holds most of the biodiversity, and very importantly, 50 percent of the living biomass, the carbon.
But also, forests can be a big part of the solution since that's the best way we know to sink, capture and store carbon.
And so what we need to do is to be much more efficient in a way that we can go from seven tons of carbon per capita per person, per year, into something like one.
First, we need to disconnect development from carbon emissions.
Why don't we put a price on carbon and transfer this to the renewable energy?
They're already the largest trading nation, already the largest exporting nation, already the largest manufacturing nation, and they're also the biggest emitters of carbon in the world.
And we shouldn't underestimate the scale and the transformative nature of the change which will be needed, because we have to go to zero carbon emissions by about 2050, if we're going to stay below two degrees Celsius of warming.
And that's because of cumulative emissions, or the carbon budget.
So if we continue on this red, four-degree centigrade scenario pathway, the longer we continue on it, that will need to be made up for in later years to keep the same carbon budget, to keep the same area under the curve, which means that that trajectory, the red one there, becomes steeper.
So it doesn't matter whether we choose nuclear power or carbon capture and storage, upscale our biofuel production, or go for a much bigger roll-out of wind turbines and wave turbines.
And now, if we're all constrained by the same amount of carbon budget, that means that if some parts of the world's emissions are needing to rise, then other parts of the world's emissions need to reduce.
So this poses huge challenges for the issue of economic growth, because if we have our high carbon infrastructure in place, it means that if our economies grow, then so do our emissions.
Together with our collaborators at Harvard and MIT, we embedded bacteria that were genetically engineered to rapidly capture carbon from the atmosphere and convert it into sugar.
The two-gram carbon fiber cage around it prevents the propellers from entangling, but essentially the collision is absorbed and the robot responds to the collisions.
That's because Venus' atmosphere is full of carbon dioxide, an important greenhouse gas.
