Ramping up the rhetoric to Copenhagen

More bloviation from the politicians who know not what of they speak. From the London Times:

Brown warns of 'catastrophe' without Copenhagen climate deal
Gordon Brown warned today of a catastrophe for the planet if action to tackle climate change is not agreed at forthcoming UN talks and said that global warming could be more costly than two world wars and the Great Depression.

The Prime Minister delivered the analysis in a speech to representatives from 17 countries at the Major Economies Forum (MEF), convened as part of efforts to secure a deal at the UN summit in Copenhagen in December.

Mr Brown examined the economic, human and ecological impact of a failure to cut the emissions blamed for driving up temperatures.

He also told the forum, which is gathered in London for a second day of talks, that he believes a deal in Copenhagen is possible, but with fewer than 50 days to go governments were not making progress quickly enough.

Hey Gordon -- don't let the door hit 'ya where the good Lord split 'ya. Have fun in private life because, according to the polls, your political life doesn't have that long to run...
