"Mr President, as I have followed this debate, the impression I have gained is that everything is fine and is going to be better still, though it is actually so good already that it could hardly be any better. There are, however, a number of problems about which the great leaders of the European Union speak as one but seem to be mistaken.
We are confronted by a new quasi-religion, namely the so-called greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is presented in such a way as to lead to a call for maximum reduction of emissions. European countries are therefore forced to compete with countries that do not have such strict plans for restricting emissions, In the meantime, all serious scientists now believe that the greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that occurs on a cyclical basis and that the sum of mankind’s efforts can only make a difference of a few percentage points at most.
Ladies and gentlemen, I urge you not to engage in wishful thinking. Instead, please set about devising a sensible energy policy, because oil now costs USD 100 and some people believe it will soon be even dearer. The obvious questions are: why is this the case and who is profiting from the situation?"@en1
