"Madam President, Ban Ki-moon’s UN climate change summit later this month should be an opportunity to provide a much needed refocusing for political leaders across the world to pledge serious climate commitments. Unfortunately, however, given past experience, I have serious doubts that the right actions will be taken at the right time; time which we are letting run through our hands. As the global poor suffer from a climate crisis not of their doing, developed regions such as Europe must take the lead on this issue and it is regrettable, therefore, that the European Commission has not adopted a more ambitious position.
Europe’s political leaders have to start listening to scientists, environmental groups and people’s movements that will be on the streets across the world this Sunday, including in my own native town of Dublin, the People’s Picnic, and stop listening to the scare stories of lost profits spread by big business who will decry anything which requires them to take account for their actions which harm the environment."@en1
