Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [Lords].
Climate Change Bill [Lords]
I humbly suggest to the right hon. Gentleman that he is completely wrong. There is no question of ““solving the problem””. The 80 per cent. target is proposed in order to limit climate change to an average of 2° C, not to keep at a certain level with no change. The figure of 2° C is somewhat arbitrary—indeed, anything that we do in that regard is arbitrary—but if we set ourselves up to fail, then fail we surely shall.
