Can I also thank the Minister for her statement? Can I start off by saying that I have serious concerns about how climate change is affecting the weather? Anyone who went to school in the 1970s will remember almost continual drizzle. Now, when it rains, we have torrential rain and flooding. There have been more British floods this year than the first 50 years of the last century, putting it into some sort of context. Carbon burns and forms carbon dioxide, which traps heat. We know about greenhouse gases; we know that Venus is hotter than Mercury despite it being a lot, lot further away. Can I ask people just to study the science, not make things up?

Does the Minister agree that we need more tree soak-away areas and to widen the rivers and streams and put bends in them to reduce the risk of flooding? On trees, I think it’s quite straightforward: we set area targets and make someone responsible in each area for achieving those targets. Setting a target for Wales is never going to be achieved, because it’s everybody’s responsibility and nobody’s.

We need to plan to deal with the changes in weather and its effect on lots of communities, including my own. We also need to reduce the greenhouse gases being released because that’s just going to make it worse. It affects all of our communities; it affects all of us, and it’s something that we are expected to do something about.
