Proceeding contribution from Lord Lawson of Blaby (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Energy: Renewables (Economic Affairs Committee Report).
Energy: Renewables (Economic Affairs Committee Report)
My Lords, I think that the noble Lord has misinterpreted my position. It is not that we should ignore global warming—if it happens—it is not happening at the moment, but it might, who knows? Unlike the Stern report, I do not know what will happen in the next 100 years. If it does happen, we shall adapt to it, as mankind has always adapted to fluctuations in the temperature of the planet.
