Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on Climate Change.
Climate Change
Does the Secretary of State agree that there is other clear evidence to support the case for following the precautionary principle? Last year, 20 million people around the world were displaced by climate-related disasters, and that figure is predicted to rise to 150 million over the next 40 years. The actions that resulted in them losing their homes and their livelihoods were real, and if that is not evidence that something is happening to our climate, no one will be believed.
