"Few subjects have met with such general agreement in the European Parliament and in society and it is a shame to dash the hopes of the society that supports us, which trusted in Copenhagen.
I do not believe the summit was a failure, and I certainly do not believe something that people who cannot tell the difference between climate and weather are saying: the fact that it has snowed in the north is to be expected, but it is not normal for it to snow in Seville and for it to be four degrees Celsius in Cuba, which effectively confirms that climate change is having an effect. I do not believe that any of these issues should make us lower our guard.
Now, more than ever, we must maintain our position, Minister. In other words, during these six months, you must push even harder, persuade the Council of the need for an increasingly uniform and united position. You must inspire the Commission to ensure that we speak with one voice so that, when we go to Mexico, Mr Obama cannot turn round and say, ‘I am going to meet the Chinese and then tell the Europeans about it,’ because that is the root of the frustration experienced by the European Union.
Minister, we must maintain our leadership for the sake of the climate, for the sake of the European Union and for the sake of all humanity."@en1
