that big science debacle. so there's a lot of human drama in that store so i think it would make good theater. we are working on that now, but i had no idea when that's ever going to come to the stage. thank you for asking. thank you for allowing me that plug. >> did your mother ever continue her education at all? >> after all of us kids were growing -- were grown up and moved away, she went back to kenya because, here's college in woodland hills, and she got an associates degree from peers college. [inaudible] >> in energy -- something having to do with energy conversation but i can't remember -- it's not energy conservation. she became an expert -- interesting. she had a second career. she became an expert in energy audits for business and homes. when he business was been $100,000 on an electrical bill, they would come to her and she would help them reduce their electrical in energy bills. she got really good at it, became really big in demand for about 10 years.

of course there's a lot of science behind why this works. what's happening? >> so what's important here is that the boiling point of nitrogen is very low. as a liquid it takes up a little amount of space. as a gas it takes a lot more space. if you put it in an enclosed area, pressure will build up and up and up. the can can no longer take it. >> so that explains why the can goes up. >> correct. >> what in the heck is this? it's beautiful. >> this is the objectionxidation ammonia and they look like fire flies. >> so it's little metal, heated metal? >> yes. >> zach, always love. >> thanks. >> the uploader of this video titled it "drunk guy in star wars pajamas." that all sounds great already. the guy in the pajamas climbing up the drain pipe, looks like storm trooper costume. >> they also look like pajamas for a small child. >> apparently the guy believes there's a woman on the roof waiting for him he has to get to. this is the way he chose to do it. >> is it princess leya? >> i think it's princess crash down in the alley on your face. >> the

it's really a look at the science by the scientists to assess what is it we know ... what has changed in our knowledge, and to make recommendations to governments to determine what is important enough to be worrying about. wuebbles tells wgn that the ipcc report will state that warming temperatures are creating a really different climate on our planet. the melding of ice near the poles could raise sea levels by one-4 ft. by the end of the century, swamping coastal cities like miami and new york. the report also links climate change to more extreme weather events. so if we say that it's virtually certain, that means its 99-100% likelihood that this observation is real. because the media often wants to treat this as a contentious issue, they want to show both sides ... they actually get the impression that there really are two sides. in fact, the reality is, there really isn't another side to this. their confidence grows with each improvement in supercomputers. this brand new national computing facility is located on the campus at the university of illinois. just listen

happening will convince those people to get out of their rut. >> but i go another step forward that science doesn't tell us what to do. it tells us what we think will happen one of the implications of simon's line of argument years as a voice changing and societies can adapt and change in many ways. and if you take that it leaves with the question, even if we can is this the kind of world we want to live and? said drought, a sea level rise they are in danger by the team tuesday and we do have a choice. it is the fundamental question that we face today. if we look at the inability of paul erlich and julian simon with the second that they don't bring these two ideas together to make them whole. that ultimately is around the question of social values and joyce -- joyce. >> host: is anybody bridging that gap as the observer of obama and his policies it seems that he is trying to make that case. his rhetoric on climate has not changed and he is talking a little bit about loral's and the responsibility to future generations personal conviction because of his daughters. what really but it will tak

there is a critical area of science that is falling behind at many university that's why what they do is so critical. that's why the academy is stepping up the effort to inspirit and train a new generation of researchers. morning news anchor eric thomas has the report. >> scientist estimate only 10% of life on earth is discovered. unknown 90 percent could hold a cure to cancer. critical information about climate at change or way to feed a stavbing nation. number of scientist lacking for new species is dropping. university program to train them are disappearing. >> very from us state to go realize that the students that could do this kind of work are not being developed. skill is being lost. >> dave wants to change that. his senior curator of the calf alaska of science interest meteorology department which includes a collection of more than 10 million insect specime specimen. >> just look at that. the even more spectacular things. >>reporter: 18-year-old molly the never expected to be bond with beetles. >> my idea of science is wrapped up in the idea of a book and something very dry. >

and that doesn't persuade them, but i guess to get another step forward which is the science doesn't actually tell us what to do. it tells us what we think is going to happen and then we have to make choices about that. the implications of the argument is weak the societies can adapt in many ways and the problem may be something we can add up to and if you take that idea that these societies can adapt it leaves us with a question of even if we can adapt is this the kind of world we want to live with this drought and the sea level rise. so many things the weekend about are being endangered by the changes that are happening and we do have a choice about this. that is the fundamental question that we face today. if we go back and look at the end of the body of ehrlich the assignment to make that second that they are not bringing the two ideas together trying to make them into a whole. and ultimately that is around the question of social values and choices. >> host: is their anyone bridging that gap? as an observer of obama and environmental energy policies, it seems that he is trying to

really for reasons that often don't have a lot to do with the science. they have a lot to do with not wanting the various solutions that have been proposed starting with the international treaty, a giant new regulatory system, moving towards the consumption of more energy or more expensive energy, and i think you saw in the opening segment, the climate science and got mixed up with the need for an international treaty. i think it's important -- i think part of the problem is that the climate science has gotten conflated with a sense of -- a set of solutions that really liberals and environmentalists including l smiex had wanted long -- myself had wanted long before global warming. >> carbon dioxide is one of the most important, atmosphere can take half a trillion tons more, without raising the earth's temperature more than 3.6° and that is over the international accepted target for global warming. given the way we're seeing energy consumption grow especially since we see the east asian economies grow, the report estimates we could get to that maximum le
