Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 May 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Climate Change Act 2008 (2020 Target, Credit Limit and Definitions) Order 2009.


Climate Change Act 2008 (2020 Target, Credit Limit and Definitions) Order 2009

My Lords, does the Minister recall that exactly 40 years ago—after all, we are projecting ahead 40 years to 2050—the very same sort of scientists who are now predicting global warming and climate change were predicting that there would be a new ice age in the ensuing 40 years? That has not actually happened. The Government should take that into account and perhaps make contingency plans in case, instead of global warming, we have global cooling.
