lpv:spoken text	"According to scientific consensus, average global temperatures are rising by between three and six degrees Celsius. This is well above the ‘safe limit’ of a two degrees rise, above which life as we know it is most likely unsustainable on earth. It is essential that the EU continue to take action to combat this. More political courage is needed to combat the environmental consequences of this and to prevent the economic costs of climate change. The Kyoto Agreement took years to agree and should not be abandoned on a whim. The EU must tackle this issue head on. We must have a fair agreement, one which respects the spirit of the Kyoto Protocol and guarantees the potential for growth and development for all while at the same time protecting and maintaining the environment."@en1
