Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:31 pm on 24 October 2018.
Passing this amendment from the Labour Government would make it a rather self-congratulatory motion, just listing what the Welsh Government is currently doing, and that, of course, would be in stark contrast to the central message of the IPCC report. The question isn't, 'What are we currently doing?' The question is, 'What are we going to do to go over and above what's currently happening?' Because if we don't, if we carry on as we are, as the IPCC report tells us, we will fail on climate change, and the implications of that are clear to almost all of us. I have to say, after Neil Hamilton's contribution, I might be reassessing my assertion, which I made in my speech, that the biggest threat to mankind is climate change, because I'm just wondering now whether, actually, the biggest threat to mankind is those who are climate change deniers.
