Proceeding contribution from Charles Walker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 July 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.
Copenhagen Climate Change Conference
We have set some ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions—I think it is 80 per cent.—by 2050. How is that compatible with increasing the population in the same period by more than 10 million? The Home Secretary said that he was relaxed about this country's population increasing by 10 million, but that will increase the size of our carbon footprint.
