Studio Guest: Karen Pittel from the Ifo Institute for Economic Research

Karen Pittel from the Ifo Institute for Economic Research is expert on energy, climate and exhaustible resources.DW-TV: Will Portugal be the next country to ask for a bailout? Karen Pittel: I guess if anybody asks next, it will be them. I'm not sure they will do it voluntarily. It's kind of like the Irish who had to be convinced to join. But I think theere would be pressing reasons for them to go under. DW-TV: The euro has taken a hit in all of this yet. Is the bad rep justified? Karen Pittel: I don't think so. I think those are temporary problems and not long-run problems. I think the Euro in itself is a good institution, a very valuable institution for Europe. I don't think it deserves the bad reputation it has by now. DW-TV: Is the European Union doing enough now to ensure that more debt crises do not occur? Karen Pittel: There's a couple of issues that are relevant here. With Greece, one didn't know for a long time that the situation was so dire. With Ireland, they were hoping to do it themselves and the country itself is not that bad, the economy isn't that bad. It's just the banks. With Portugal, they had to see it coming. They might be a little late in there. DW-TV: Some companies are trying to make a difference. For example in Recycling. But is it really worth it? Karen Pittel: It might not make the difference in terms of stopping climate change. But it's important to develop technologies that will help us to need less fossil fuels. Once we accomplish having a global treaty to reduce CO2 emissions, we need those new technologies in order to be able to still produce without using so much energy. DW-TV: The International Energy Agency: "We estimate extending Europe's plan to cut emissions from 20 to 30 percent would roughly equal China's two-week gas output," Europe can't really make a difference! Practically no global impact! Karen Pittel: It can't make a difference alone. I'm not denying that. It's like I said, when or if we have an agreement, we need the new technology. As long as we don't have this global agreement, then Europe alone won't make the difference. Especially because when Europe cuts back, not only is China increasing its emissions, but part of what is reduced in Europe will kind of switch to China and be produced there. DW-TV: There was a lot of public support and hope leading up to Copenhagen last year. Is that now lost? Karen Pittel: I don't think so. I think the expectations are still there, it's just that they're more realistic now. You don't go there and think you can change everything in 2 weeks. It takes more time. People sit down at the table now, they're more realistic, they know it will take more time. I've heard the word magic bullet, it's not going to happen, it's a step-by-step process. The goal has to be to get everyone into the fold. DW-TV: What are you expecting from the Climate Conference in Cancun? Karen Pittel: There's a difference between what I hope and what I expect. I'm expecting that they'll get closer but they won't be able. That's my sad prediction, they won't be able to complete a binding agreement at that conference. I hope their positions get closer, but I don't think there will be a binding agreement. Let's hope that history will prove me wrong. Interview: Brent Goff
