Climate Change

Proceeding contribution from Lord Barker of Battle (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 May 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Climate Change.
Indeed, he is the Terminator, and he is coming after the hon. Gentleman’s seat. He continued:"““In short, the technology is there. The demand is there. If governments lead, investment will follow, business will follow and jobs will follow.””" He concluded:"““Global warming has presented humankind with a tough challenge. Since we all share the planet and breathe the same air, whatever our nationality or political stripe, it only makes sense to work together.""Turning the climate crisis into an opportunity—for investment, clean and green technology and jobs—is a matter of leadership.””" Sadly, in the UK we do not see those qualities in Government. Despite encouraging signals abroad and sensible progress in some areas, the bottom line is that, despite the urgency, there has not been hands-on leadership at home. That must change.
