Climate Change: Carbon Budgets

Proceeding contribution from Lord Lea of Crondall (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on Climate Change: Carbon Budgets.
I did not think that I was technically in the gap because my name should have been on the list. It was not my fault that it was not there. Anyway, I shall shortly draw my remarks to a close, but I want to make one more point. The rising world population should be brought into the debate. I can say to the right reverend Prelate that I know that the Vatican is against discussion of family planning, but if the world population keeps doubling, ipso facto that doubles the amount of carbon being produced. Whether it is in a coral atoll or anywhere else in the world, we should bring the issue of population prominently and centrally into the debate.
