"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, do not say that we did not warn you about this. The resolution on COP 15 passed by this Parliament was all smoke and no fire.
We asked for too much and we have achieved nothing. Those are not the words of the
but of Ivo de Boer, secretary of the UN climate change conference. It has not really been a disaster, even if the agreement is merely a letter of intent. The text which prevented COP 15 from drawing a complete blank, agreed at the end of a marathon of negotiations of a truly unprecedented duration and intensity, contains very little substance.
The Copenhagen Accord, agreed by US President Obama, Brazilian President Lula, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Indian Prime Minister Singh and South African President Zuma, and imposed on all the remaining countries, has not even been formally adopted. Following its rejection by eight countries, which prevented its adoption, the Accord was merely taken note of by the plenary of the 192 participating states.
Ladies and gentlemen, the global warming story is a waste of time. Since December, newspapers and television news programmes have been reporting that Europe is in the grip of freezing cold weather. Let us avoid useless and costly speculation about the climate."@en1
