We oppose this motion. According to this motion, the World Health Organization is now an expert on climate. That's not a surprise, because Swedish high school dropouts are now experts on climate. Solar minimum is upon us. According to the University of Alabama in Huntsville and NASA satellite data, world temperatures in February 2021 were just 0.2 degrees above the long-term satellite average and well within natural variation and falling. The Northern Hemisphere is setting temperature records for cold and snow. The Thames has frozen over, as it did in the temperature minimum from 1790 to 1820. It's called climate variability. There's no proof that natural weather variations are related to human activity. Climate change can have a health impact—in fact, a mental health impact—due to the terrorism of the fear that is misrepresented on climate.

Question agreed to.
