Amendment 23 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital H
Recital H
H. whereas recent scientific studies have delivered further proof of the anthropogenic disturbance of the earth's atmosphere; whereas the physical science of climate change is assessing the concrete implications of already existing levels of global warming caused by historic emissions; whereas the data collected from such studies underline the urgent need for adaptation measures to be implemented in order to limit seriousalarming risk to humans, the biodiversity of flora and fauna, habitats and the infrastructure, first and foremost in the developing world but also in Europe and other wealthier parts of the world,
Amendment 71 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Regards the science of climate change as settled and reiterates its commitment to the EU's strategic objective of limiting the global average temperature increase to not more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels; believes, notwithstanding this, that all efforts to curb emissions should in fact aim at staying well below the 2°C target, as such a level of warming would already heavily impact on our society and individual lifestyles, and would also entail significant changes in ecosystems, mountain and glacier environments and water resources;
Amendment 81 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Stresses that scientific evidence from all continents and most oceans shows that many natural systems (e.g. mountain and glacier environments) are already affected by regional climate changes due to historic carbon emissions from the industrialised countries; emphasises that the underlying causes of global warming are man-made and that the level of gathered knowledge sufficiently proves the anthropogenic disturbance of the Earth's atmosphere;
Amendment 98 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Condemns efforts to portray the results of studies into the causes and effects of climate change as doubtful, uncertain or questionable; emphasises that conditions in many regions (e.g. in mountainous and glacial regions) are already making the effects glaringly obvious; understands, however, that scientific progress has always been marked by uncertainties, their progressive elimination and the search for explanations or models beyond the current scientific mainstream;
Amendment 118 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Believes that Parliament should function as a role model in curbing emissions and that it should ask its Secretary-General and the Committee on Budgets to examine, as a first step, for example, options and possibilities for offsetting carbon emissions caused through the work of the Temporary Committee on Climate Change, especially during its delegation visits and the monthly transfers of Parliament's work to Strasbourg, in order to have a comprehensive carbon balance at the end of its mandate;
Amendment 127 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 a (new)
Paragraph 11 a (new)
11a. Notes that current technology and projected technological developments offer a real opportunity to implement climate protection measures which also take account of economic and social considerations;
Amendment 128 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 b (new)
Paragraph 11 b (new)
11b. Emphasises that climate protection cannot only take place at international and European level, but rather that conscious, long-term efforts must be made to bring its importance home to every individual member of the public;
Amendment 129 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 c (new)
Paragraph 11 c (new)
11c. Emphasises that climate protection requires a joint approach and strongly urges the Member States to make appropriate contributions;
