Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on Climate Change.

Climate Change

I very much agree with my hon. Friend about the need to keep the temperature rise to 2°. Does he share my concern that even with stretching targets such as an 80 per cent. reduction by 2015, even with the things that currently seem politically difficult to deliver, that only gives us, according to the science, a 50 per cent. chance of keeping it under 2°, which is already a pretty big risk for us to be taking on?
