A CABINET minister from Hampshire has hailed the Cancun climate deal as a breakthrough in the battle against global warming.
Chris Huhne, Eastleigh MP and energy secretary, said the success of the talks in the Mexican resort meant that an international agreement on climate change was now “back on track”.
Mr Huhne was criticised last week for remaining at the talks instead of flying back to London for the Commons vote on raising tuition fees.
Commenting on the outcome of the negotiations the Liberal Democrat MP said: “A global climate deal is in the UK’s national interest and Cancun shows other countries also want to get on with getting an international deal.
“We’ve worked hard to bring countries together and the expectations have been exceeded.
“A global deal on climate change is now back on track.
“We’ve now got to use this momentum to make urgent progress and lock down that deal – a deal that will benefit our environment and our economies.”
The talks were deadlocked for several days and had been expected to end in abject failure but were rescued by concessions from countries including China, Russia and America.
Nations taking part pledged to cut their emissions and agreed that global temperature rises should stay below 2C.

I wonder why they don't call it global warming anymore?

the talks are such a success that the world will not share the green technologies with india and china but are demanding that they cut down there CO2 emissions. that,s double meaning talk.
and if the world really wanted to cut down CO2 emissions then they would share/give the technologies to countries like india and china to bring them up to-date.
the real truth is that they don't want poorer other countries having a good or better economies and its all about the rich counties staying in control of the economy.
5000 years ago it was 3C warmer than it is now, and there was no ice on the polar caps, even in roman britain it was 1C warmer it is now, and at the end of the roman britain the northern hemishpere temp drop very fast and sent it into what was called the mini ice age for 500 years.

There is a lot of proven material from the climate scientists - ozone problems, ice melt and water levels raising around the equatorial regions have already begun. CO2 predictions are pretty accurate too. . What isnt a sure forecast is how it will affect us here and when. The funny thing is that doing something about the CO2 production and co will actually benefit us, even if it doesnt benefit the climates around the world. . Your average person like me or you aint going to understand it, and this is perhaps why we should listen to the scientists rather than the press or the politicians.MGRA wrote:I agree MGRA.
