Commenting in the European Parliament in Strasbourg this week on the Paris talks on climate change, UKIP MEP Dr Julia Reid, said coal, which had been the provider of cheap and affordable electricity for many years, had been demonised.
Speaking in the Parliament earlier this week, Dr Reid, who is UKIP's national Science spokesman, said: “Whenever I hear the words 'historic agreement' my sceptical streak kicks in.
“The aim is to keep warming below two degrees at a time when there has been no warming since 1997 when we know that a thousand years ago the Earth was warmer than it is today.
“Current records are all too brief even 250 years is insufficient time for a meaningful assessment of long-term climate patterns and so-called models are only as good as the data in the programming.
“The climate change industry has become a powerful vested interest. So what will this really mean in Swindon, Exeter and Penzance?
