Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 July 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy: Low Carbon Transition Plan.
Energy: Low Carbon Transition Plan
My Lords, it showed a commitment among the G8 countries to take action towards ensuring that climate change does not increase by more than 2 degrees centigrade. I think that that is significant. It gives me optimism for agreement in Copenhagen. I should also say to the noble Lord—he will not like it when I mention the noble Lord, Lord Stern, because he does not agree with the noble Lord’s analysis—that the point that the noble Lord, Lord Stern, made is that the sooner this country gets on with moving to a low-carbon economy, the cheaper it will be. So I do not agree with the noble Lord, Lord Lawson.
