This paper
looks at EU policy towards 'climate change'. It shows that no process
of democratic oversight or investigation has preceded its decisions. It has
simply relied without question on the flawed IPCC reports and the Stern
Review. It has not initiated any independent research into or analysis of the
scientific basis of the case for global warming or the proportionate response
that should be made. The paper contrasts this with the rigorous process of
enquiry and research by successive US Congressional Committees into every
aspect of climate change
With the EU’s
drive for power over our democracy and everyday life continuing unabated the
Bruges Group held this conference to oppose the surrendering of our freedoms
to Brussels
Evidence is
quite clearly emerging that man is not having the impact on the climate that
the EU climate alarmists claim. Ignoring the doubts, the European Commission
proposes to forge ahead with eyewateringly expensive initiatives designed to
mitigate climate change. The estimated cost of these programmes is €73 billion
a year across the EU by 2020. In the UK, it will cost £9 billion a year
by 2020. It is expected to force a million more households into fuel poverty.
These policies are likely to raise average domestic fuel bills by up to
£200 a year, while the total economic cost would average around
£600 per family
Well meaning, but
misplaced, environmental policies, corruption and waste by the European Union
and the British government is costing you money and threatening jobs. The
Bruges Group conference looked at those issues and discussed the solutions to
the problems that the European Union is forcing upon us
