Proceeding contribution from Joan Ruddock (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]
Not at the moment. Let me tell the right hon. Gentleman that costs of between 1 and 2 per cent. of GDP in 2050 would mean that the United Kingdom economy would be 3.17 times larger in 2050, rather than 3.2 times larger. There is a cost; estimates exist. The fact is that we know that not acting would cost us dearly.
