Global Warming

EDM number 94 in 2001-02, proposed by Tony Colman on 09/07/2001.

That this House welcomes the commitment of President Bush to taking forward the US Executive Order of 3rd June 1999 which set out new and tough targets for improving the energy efficiency of 500,000 federal buildings which was the first specific US target tied to greenhouse gas reductions of 30 per cent. below 1990 levels by 2010, and the new US Administration's commitment to a target to double US use of CHP by 2010, all of which requires all federal agencies to improve their energy efficiency by 35 per cent. relative to 1985 levels by 2010 and which mandates federal agencies to expand their use of renewable energy; looks forward to the President's intended legislation to secure these goals and the benefits this will bring to both the US and world economies, consumers and the environment; and also looks forward to ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by the USA, in part based on this US Executive Order of 3rd June 1999.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
