Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitehead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on Climate Change.
Climate Change
The right hon. Gentleman has read out a very short list, but does he accept that it would take several days to read out the list of people who have the opposite opinion about the science of climate change? Does he also accept that the whole idea of science is that it consists of hypotheses and disputes? There never is an absolute consensus, but is it not probably a good idea to take the advice of the large number of scientists who think certain things and have established a large amount of empirical evidence for, and understanding of, their hypotheses?
