A
CO
UNCILL
OR
proposed
a
moti
on
at
last
nigh
t8217
s
council
meeting
against
the
8216r
eligion
8217
of
climate
change
.
Cllr
Andy
Dr
ansfield
insists
he
is
not
a
climate
change-denier
,
but
believes
the
widespr
ead
thought
that
humans
ar
e
having
a
detr
i-
mental
effect
on
the
planet
could
be
a
myth.
Ther
efor
e
he
wants
Mi
lton
Ke
ynes
Co
uncil
to
re
think
its
new
gr
een
policy
of
inv
esting
16320,000
in
becoming
ener
gy
efficient.
At
the
cabinet
meeting
the
coun-
cil
re
solved
that
8216c
limate
change
is
a
re
al
imminent
concer
n,
and
re
cognises
also
that
all
countries
,
all
localities
and
communities
must
play
their
par
t
in
ensur
ing
that
the
thr
eat
of
climate
change
can
be
tackled
8217.
How
ever
,
on
the
day
when
MP
s
we
re
debating
the
Climate
Change
Bi
ll
calling
for
a
60
per
cent
cut
in
CO
2
emissions
by
2050,
Cllr
Dr
ansfield
was
pr
opos-
ing
that
the
causes
of
climate
change
ar
e
not
ye
t
cer
tain.
8220I
8217m
ver
y
much
suppor
tiv
e
about
being
an
efficient
council,
8221
he
said.
8220I
want
to
make
sur
e
that
we
do
re
duce
consumption
of
ener
gy
,
but
ther
e
is
almost
a
re
ligion
about
climate
change
.
8220I
accept
that
the
climate
is
changing.
The
question
is
whether
humans
ar
e
causing
it
or
it
is
nat-
ur
al.
8220I
8217m
not
convinced.
It
8217s
not
that
simple
.
It
8217s
saying
stop
believing
the
rhet
or
ic
and
look
at
the
evi-
dence
that
climate
change
is
not
caused
by
humans
.
He
added:
8220T
he
va
st
major
ity
of
the
council
hav
e
got
their
blinkers
on.
I
think
in
not
too
many
ye
ars
8217
time
the
council
will
wake
up
to
this
ex
cuse
