Paris Hilton addresses Climate Change Conference at Kuala Lumpur

Paris encouraged incremental steps to slow global warming and prevent environmental catastrophe in lecture delivered at a conference on climate change hosted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Hilton laid out a comprehensive agenda to combat global warming consisting of a package of bills designed to:

increase the fuel economy of the nation's automobiles;
encourage the use of low-carbon fuels and new clean-vehicle technologies;
promote development of a national cap-and-trade framework to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity and industrial sectors; and
mandate national energy efficiency standards..

"Disappearing rain forests … melting glaciers … crumbling coral reefs — the world around us is changing," Hilton said. "We have to open our eyes to the danger. We have to confront it. And we have to make major changes." The conference drew more than 750 delegares and featured leading US, European, and Asian climatologists and ethicists, and industry, legal, and public policy authorities, together with an international roster of further experts.

Fortunately, the lecture was in fact delivered by Paros Hilton, a (male) climate scientist from Nikosia, Cyprus; the typographical error wasn't spotted by the Malayan organisers, a country where Miss Hilton is not quite as well known as over here in the US.
