Lord Deben has stated the Britan is the root cause of global warming, due to inventing the industrial revolution.

Is it correct to blame Britain?

That's obviously far too simplistic.

What did he actually say. Is it possible to copy and paste the part of what he said in here?

"Article is in the Independent.

“The one weakness we go in with is over helping the developing countries,” Lord Deben said.

“Britain has caused climate change more than anyone else. We invented the Industrial Revolution, it’s part of our history. We’ve caused climate change and we’ve got to pay for it.

“The fact that we haven’t yet put together the money which we promised to help the developing countries move from where they are to where they ought to be is a considerable drawback.”

He added that the government’s decision to temporarily slash foreign aid from 0.7 to 0.5 per cent of the national income in November 2020 was likely to haunt negotiations at the summit.

“The quite unacceptable decision by Britain to reduce its overseas aid, which is immoral and unacceptable in every way – so I would be opposed to it in any case – gives the wrong signal to developing countries.

“It’s the wrong signal not just because of the amount, but because it means there’s much less women’s education in the world, and that of course is crucial for nations becoming more resilient [to climate change].”

Is this the part you're talking about?

Another never sweat who will be pushing an independent review and fact finding mission through the lords into Britain being the root cause of global warming.

Don't think you're allowed to post links anyway.

I don't think his speech was very well thought through. It just gives quotes and fodder for right wing climate change deniers like the chap above.

No, Britain is a geographical area made of hills, rivers, valleys etc The people of Britain at the time may have been responsible, but they're all dead now.

No. That would be like saying all the flooding in southern Scotland was due to most of its inhabitants voting Tory.

I've heard some of the stuff the Indy supporters come out with so it's plausible

. Wouldn’t it be nice if instead of looking back hundreds of years, the human race could all look to the future and figure out together how to tackle this and ensure that in a couple of centuries the people then don’t look back and say “it was all their fault”
