"Madam President, the topics to be discussed at the forthcoming European Council meeting include the climate change package.
Carbon dioxide emission and all issues associated with so-called global warming are becoming more and more like an ideology. All of us care for clean air and the natural environment. However, research has shown that human impact on climate change is negligible.
If it is true that human activity is responsible for as little as 4% of global CO
emissions, and that the European Union’s share of that amount is 15%, this would mean that we want to spend hundreds of billions of euros to reduce global CO
emissions by less than 0.5%, while they are being increased by countries such as India and China.
It is hard to believe that the Union’s decision-makers are unable to appreciate these implications. It is probably no accident that some countries, such as for instance France, will sell their CO
emission allowances to others. The result of this action is foreseeable: within a short time the sellers will in practice take over
Polish power stations.
In this context we need to redefine the meaning of solidarity in Europe."@en1
