Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on Climate Change.

Climate Change

My hon. Friend is right. This may be the point at which the fact that I am not a scientist will come out, but I believe I am right in saying that 1998 was a particularly warm year. That was because of the El Niño effect, and that is why I have made the point that if we look at a longer period, we are struck by the fact that nine of the 10 warmest years on record have occurred during the last 15.
