Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 17 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill 2005-06.
As amended in the Standing Committee, further considered.
I am surprised that my right hon. Friend should say that. If that is his view, I hope that he has written a letter to The Sunday Telegraph in response to the letter in the letters column of 12 March 2006. It is a short letter, headed ““Carbon dioxide is not the culprit””. It criticises The Sunday Telegraph for making a common error in saying that carbon dioxide"““is the main cause of global warming””" as reported in the News Review of 5 March. The correspondent says:"““It is an extremely small share of greenhouse gases and the anthropogenic (ie man-made) content is minuscule. If we take just the anthropogenic gases the percentages are: CO2 (carbon dioxide) 0.117 per cent, NHO2 (nitrous oxide) 0.047 per cent, CH4 (methane) 0.066 per cent, and CFCs and other gases 0.047 per cent””—"
