lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as some speakers have already indicated – and I congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Moreira Da Silva, on his report – in a tragic coincidence with this debate, nature has decided to remind us of the consequences of climate change. In the north of Italy and also in my own area – the Mediterranean coast of Spain – the forces of nature have once again unleashed themselves, leading to loss of life and the loss of possessions, in homes, factories and so forth. On our coast, on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, this is the product of a phenomenon known as (cold front), caused by the warming of the waters of the Mediterranean, which generates an increase in water vapour which, upon contact with the cold layers of the stratosphere, produces this heavy rainfall. It is true that this normally takes place in autumn, but it is also true that this used to take place every 15 to 20 years, while it currently happens almost every year, with tragic consequences at least every three or four years. Is this or is it not the result of the greenhouse effect and climate change? Although the experts cannot guarantee it with all the scientific evidence, I believe this to be the case. We must therefore remedy this situation. It is true that with the measures contained in the Kyoto Protocol, to which the report we are debating today refers, we will not achieve short-term results, but it is also true that the human race should try to solve the problems it creates. Other causes – also triggered by human greed – combine with the greenhouse effect, such as building on watercourses, which heightens the damaging effects of these natural disasters. I am therefore one of the signatories to a motion for a resolution suggesting not only the rapid application of the measures contained in the Kyoto Protocol to combat climate change, but also other types of preventative measures, for example continuing and intensifying efforts to prevent the effects of rain when creating infrastructures, and finally, aid to all the victims, given that they are not responsible for the short or long-term damage caused by human greed and speculation."@en1
