Climate Change and SustainableEnergy Bill

If I recollect correctly, Report started on 17 March and we did not move on to Third Reading until 24 March. However, that point is of little import, except that the hon. Gentleman uses it to attack my knowledge. The hon. Gentleman is not going to prevent me from referring to the excellent article by Ruth Lea, which is headed, ““The idea everyone agrees on climate change is a fallacy””. Many hon. Members will be unaware that she is a trained statistician and therefore in a strong position to be able to comment on the statistics of the issue. She says that the 0.6° C increase in global average surface temperatures is within the limits of natural statistical error and that global average air temperatures have not changed over the past 20 or30 years.
