I want to ask Professor Shannon some questions. What he has just said, namely, that the Bill will lead to emissions increasing rather than reducing, negates what is being attempted. I take his claim extraordinarily seriously. I presume that he has evidence of this, which I ask him to provide. By how much exactly will the Bill increase emissions? How much more CO2 will be forced into the atmosphere? By how much will the temperature of the Earth increase as a result? Will it be 0.5° Celsius? Professor Shannon needs to show us the science behind his claim instead of making a sweeping declaration about what might happen.

May I ask the Department a few questions after I get answers from Professor Shannon?
