PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CLIMATE CHANGE (13 November 2002)

That this House notes with concern the UN's International Panel on Climate Change's warning that global temperatures will rise by as much as 5.8 degrees centigrade by 2099; is concerned at the catastrophic effect this will have on agriculture, wildlife, human health and prosperity globally; recognises the especially acute problems this will cause in both the African and Asian continents, with the prediction that resultant crop failures will mean a loss of up to one quarter of food production in those areas; and calls on the Government to urge all countries to ratify international climate change protocols.
