CLIMATE CHANGE

That this House notes with concern the UN's International Panel on Climate Change's warning that global temperatures will rise by as much as 5.8 degrees centigrade by 2099; is concerned at the catastrophic effect this will have on agriculture, wildlife, human health and prosperity globally; recognises the especially acute problems this will cause in both the African and Asian continents, with the prediction that resultant crop failures will mean a loss of up to one quarter of food production in those areas; and calls on the Government to urge all countries to ratify international climate change protocols.
