Madam Deputy Speaker, in view of the immense and damaging impact that global warming will have on life on earth, and in particular on the poorest of the poor in Africa and the other continents, this House should heed the overwhelming concerns of world's scientists that human actions are largely responsible for the phenomenon of global warming and are also needed urgently to impact positively on it.
Consideration must be given to developing measures such as establishing an interparliamentary action team involving Members of Parliament from Minerals and Energy, Environmental Affairs, Water Affairs and Forestry, Finance, Trade and Industry and Health to pool resources and in all ways recommend a path of action that allows South Africa to take a lead in fostering research and development partnerships with the developed world that will incentivise our citizens to constructively and positively action against the looming earth crisis. Thank you.
Thank you, hon member. I am told that there is some warming in the House and people are requesting that we should also try and attend to that. That is not global warming, but we are talking about the warming inside the House itself, because it seems the air conditioners are not working properly, but we will fix that.
