Global sea levels have not risen at all in the last 2 years after years of truly tiny increases.
There has been no nett rise in global temperatures over the last decade.
If all the requirements of the Kyoto agreement were carried out, they would reduce the global temperature in 2100 by 0.0075 deg.C.
Britain's contribution to the above temperature drop would be too insignificant to measure but the financial consequences would be crippling to British industry and the economy, and a total waste of taxpayers' cash.
