Lock Obama & leaders in a room to get carbon deal

The Council of Europe's Rapporteur on Climate Change John Prescott speaking in the House of Commons, urging President Obama, China's Premier Wen and India's Prime Minister Singh to go to Copenhagen.

The Council of Europe has passed a resolution urging all three leaders to attend the UN Climate Change Conference in December in order to secure a deal.

Mr Prescott, who was the EU negotiator at Kyoto, said all word leaders must "sit in that damn room and come to an agreement and don't let them out before that!"

Efforts ??

Sustainable development ??

Are you having a laugh. These " new technologies" use increasing amount of rare elements.

Google China neomydium. They produce 97% of the world resource and are starting to hang on to it.

Unless population is addresses the rest is just piffle and the Govt aint listening to that one.

I think he spoke with passion.

That is not what is at issue. What is at issue is how sustainable development is. The UK Government led Europe in Copenhagen and Prescott helped that momentum. Don't be so cyncical and instead get behind these efforts rather than being an armchair critic.

Hang on wasn't it Prescott that allowed for gardens to built on... Concreting over large swathes of the Uk...He also wanted 200,000 extra houses in the South East...
