Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'm pleased to give a minute of my time to Jenny Rathbone.

The science is unequivocal: the link between human activity and rising global temperatures is as strong and as certain as the link between smoking and cancer, according to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The Paris climate change agreement set a target of no more than 2 degrees centigrade global warming above pre-industrial temperatures by the end of the century. It also set an aspirational target of no more than 1.5 degrees centigrade. We're currently on track for more than 3 degrees centigrade global warming by the end of the century. We're likely to burn through the rest of the aspirational carbon budget within the next three to 10 years and reach 1.5 degrees of warming by 2040.
