"It is fair to say that some of the proposals before this parliament never cease to amaze, not because of their genius, but sadly, all too often, because they are ludicrous. The report ‘Women and Climate Change’ is one such example when you really cannot fail to be bemused. Apparently, global warming adds to gender discrimination. Apparently, a necessary step to address this is a 40 per cent female quota on EU negotiating teams on climate change. In addition, we must give funding to get women involved in the political battle to tackle climate change. The reality is that men and women are equally affected by climate change. The impact that it has on our lives has nothing to do with gender. Furthermore, I find the suggestion that women should be granted positions because of gender, not ability, wholly offensive. What utter nonsense and what a waste of our time when much more pressing matters should be addressed in this House."@en1
