Thank you, Tim. I enjoyed your books, especially your histories of the CIA and the FBI. And I'm looking forward to your upcoming book, The Mission on the CIA.

Global warming, such a hot topic. Many believe that global greenhouse gas emissions are being driven by the developed countries, especially the US and Europe. But that's not actually the case. China accounts for nearly 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. And the next largest emitters are the US at about 11%, then India at 7%, and Russia at 6%.

China accounts for nearly 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. And the next largest emitters are the US at about 11%, then India at 7%, and Russia at 6%.

The emissions of all other countries are each below 3%. The US and the four largest European countries, Germany, France, the UK, and Italy, account for less than 15% of total global greenhouse gas emissions.

The emissions of all other countries are each below 3%. The US and the four largest European countries, Germany, France, the UK, and Italy, account for less than 15% of total global greenhouse gas emissions.

So even if the US and Europe achieve net zero, which is to say no net greenhouse gas emissions, global greenhouse gas emissions will still increase if emissions are increasing in the rest of the world. Energy is complicated. The issues include environmental impact, cost, scale and energy security. What should the US and other countries do? Hi, everyone.

I'm Lynn Thoman, and this is Three Takeaways. On Three Takeaways, I talk with some of the world's best thinkers, business leaders, writers, politicians, newsmakers, and scientists. Each episode ends with three key takeaways to help us understand the world and maybe even ourselves a little better. Today, I'm excited to be with former Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz.
