"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the Copenhagen Summit is an historic opportunity to change the fate of the planet.
We must reach decisions that are even more binding than those taken in Kyoto. Therefore, we must call on our leaders to create an international organisation like the WTO, which will be in charge of regulating climate change and environmental issues; to create a climate change adjustment fund – in addition, of course, to official development assistance; and to introduce a carbon tax for sea and air travel, which must also be introduced for financial transactions.
We can clearly see the urgent need for international regulation of the environment, just like that of the financial markets and of the internet. We have an opportunity to take this historic step with the environment. Let us do so by reflecting our greatest human inspirations, otherwise we will seem like decision-makers who have no grasp of the reality of matters."@en1
