"Madam President, one thing we do know about climate is that it is a pretty odd old thing. We know that it was warmer on the globe in the Holocene period; we know it was warmer in the Roman period; we also know it was warmer in the medieval period. It was cooler in the Little Ice Age in the early 19th century. We also know there has been no significant change in climate over the last 6 000 years and we also know that most scientific organisations have confirmed that there has been no significant statistical global warming in the last 15 years? I have these figures in front of me. They are the same figures that Mr Davies quoted. He is very careful in what he selects.
What I would like to suggest before everybody disappears to Durban, saving the world as they travel on first class airfares and sip their martinis in expensive hotels, is that I have old age pensioners in Yorkshire on GBP 98 a week … and you are picking up the tab. I would suggest, given this fiscal crisis that we have, that it would be a nice gesture – particularly from you, Commissioner, who does not pay much income tax and is on a very good salary – for you to offer to pay for your own trip."@en1
