UK Low Carbon Transition Plan

Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 July 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on UK Low Carbon Transition Plan.
I was not aware of the second piece of evidence that the hon. Gentleman mentioned. On the first piece of evidence and more generally, one problem is that the results of studies taking 1998 as a starting point are very adversely affected by the impact of El Niño, which caused a significant amount of global warming. Therefore, it may look as though there has been overall cooling since 1998, but the evidence over a longer period of two decades that I have seen and have been advised on suggests that climate change is getting worse, not better.
