Tomorrow's top decision makers have decided that UKIP's stance on so-called 'man-made climate change' is right.

The world's most famous debating society, at Oxford University, heard from a range of noted climate experts, but were swayed by the UK Independence Party's eco spokesman Lord Monckton.

Monckton argued that the actual warming effect of CO2 was only a tiny fraction of what had previously been predicted by scientists.

He showed that even if all the world's industry was shut down for the next 40 years, global temperatures would only decrease by 1 degree.

The arguments centred around whether economic growth should be a higher priority than combating climate change, and after hearing from Monckton, the world's top students agreed that global warming is not a threat.

At times the exchange became heated, as Monckton repeatedly challenged Labour Peer and trade unionist Lord Whitty (who believes in climate change) state where his figures had come from.

Lord Whitty was unable to explain where his ‘evidence' had come from and sat down simply saying ‘everyone knows its true'.

When the eco-warriors tried to return fire by asking where Monckton had got his evidence from, he drew cheers from the audience, stating: "IPCC, 2007, chapter 10, box 10.2"

Monckton won the vote by 135 votes to 110.

Lord Monckton said: "The worlds brightest students are finally getting fed up with all the groundless extremist propaganda getting rammed down their throats by people who seem to think they are stupid.

"For years, those set to profit from the ever increasing number of ‘eco policies' have pulled the wool over the public and governments' eyes, but as soon as you pit them against the academic elite, all their arguments unravel."

The result is a major boost for UKIP, whose climate policy has previously been attacked by the ‘green band-wagon'.

26 of Britain's Prime Ministers were educated at Oxford, including David Cameron, Tony Blair, Thatcher and Wilson.

It now seems likely that the country's future rulers agree with UKIP's long held views.

News of the result comes at a time when EU bureaucrats are set to force member countries to stump up an extra £30billion towards reducing emissions by 30% come 2020.
