I want to commend Mr Putin. The Kyoto Protocol is off life-support because the Russian Federation ratified it. The country with the highest levels of pollution– the United States- refuses to consider the global need for their ratification of the Kyoto Protocol. I am deeply concerned that the United States has chosen to tackle this climate change issue through unilateral activities. Climate change needs to be dealt with as a global problem.
If carbon dioxide is not reduced, the Arctic ice cover will disappear. This is particularly going to affect the quality of life of those living in coastal regions and on island communities. That is a scientific fact, not a passionate policy comment on my part.
Ireland is much more energy efficient than a decade ago. I encourage other Member States to follow suit. Tackling climate change was never labelled as being easy. But complacency in dealing with it, is worse.
My duty as a MEP, is to stress the necessity of climate change protection to: the people we represent, our EU counterparts and our international partners. I urge the remaining countries that have not made their global commitment to combating climate change, to do so, via the Kyoto Protocol."@en1
