Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) 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, the Minister said something very important there: the word "objectivity". If—this is just as big an "if" as his "ifs"—the world temperature does not increase for another five, 10 or 15 years, when do people start looking at it again? After three years? Five? Ten? Fifteen? How many years have to go by of global non-warming for people to look at whether they were right or wrong?
