I note that page 2 of a recent document entitled "Climate Change 2014 Synthesis Report Summary for Policymakers" states:

Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and the ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow [...] have diminished, and [the] sea level has risen.

It should not come as any surprise to the Department that we want action on this. I will press the amendment but I will not call for a vote on it.
