Diolch. Greening our economy is an important part of our efforts to tackle climate change here in Wales, and, last month, I attended a public meeting sponsored by Stop Climate Change Chaos. I took their pledge to speak up on climate change and use my role as an Assembly Member to drive action on climate change. I note with interest the different approaches taken by different UKIP AMs on this issue—on one hand we have Caroline Jones joining me in taking that pledge to speak up on action for climate change and making sure it’s addressed, and well done. On the other hand, though, we had David Rowlands last week and the remarkable ode to climate change denial that took place in this Chamber. Would you agree that that UKIP approach will not be taken up by the Welsh Government, as those short-term solutions cannot be taken seriously on this important issue?
