That this House expresses its disappointment at the failure of political leaders at the Hague Climate Change Conference to reach agreement on making the Kyoto Protocol operational; welcomes the efforts made by the representatives of the British Government to encourage measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; regrets that the inflexible approach of some nations, notably the USA, meant that a deal could not be reached; and urges the UK and other governments to reconvene at the earliest opportunity to complete a compact that leads to effective action to control emissions and protect the planet from the impact of global warming.

That this House notes with alarm the unusually severe weather conditions in many parts of the UK; recognises that climate change is likely to play a large part in this as research confirms that the Arctic ice pack is melting so fast that within 50 years it may disappear each summer, and that an area of it the size of Texas has disappeared in the last 20 years; calls attention to the ongoing and probably increasing threat to the Arctic posed by BP's oil exploration activities, despite a vote by BP investors to cancel Northstar and to transfer the capital to BP's solar division, and to the fact that, despite BP's recent global rebranding exercise as an environmentally responsible multinational beyond petroleum, the company in fact is planning to expand its oil and gas investment by 40 per cent. and is spending more on the exercise than it spent on renewable energy last year; and calls on the Government substantially and rapidly to increase its support for renewable energy alternatives, including solar and biomass.

That this House notes the positive international leadership of Her Majesty's Government in negotiating the Kyoto Protocol in Japan in 1997 and in subsequent international fora leading towards the important sixth Conference of the Parties in The Hague later this year; further notes that a successful outcome in The Hague will be critical in helping the world avert dangerous climate change; further notes that Mr Lee Raymond, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Exxon (Esso) Corporation of Irving, Texas has spoken in London as guest of honour of The Institute of Petroleum at the Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane and that he has consistently sought to deny the existence of climate change and, through his funding of the Global Climate Coalition, to frustrate international processes that seek to tackle the issue; and therefore expresses its serious concern and condemnation of the interventions of the Exxon Corporation and particularly Mr Raymond in blocking and delaying progress during those negotiations, thereby preventing democratically elected governments from reaching necessary, constructive and prompt agreements that allow the world to move forward on this most critical of global issues.
