    Asked by The Times if Mr Obama’s presence in Copenhagen would increase the chances of a successful outcome, Mr Miliband said: "Yes. This only works if leaders engage. It’s a very interesting lesson that in July the leaders met in L’Aquila in Italy and agreed that they should commit to avoiding dangerous climate change above two degrees [centigrade].

  1. The biggest difficulty we face is that Kyoto was a partial deal because it didn’t have America in it.

  2. If you compare what America is planning to do from now until 2020 under Waxman Markey, it’s about the same as what we are doing, possibly more depending on how you calculate it. If you look back to 1990 it’s less but they are starting 20 years later.

  3. We do need significant cuts in emissions from the US. We want as much action from America as we can get ... America and China are the two biggest emitters. They are very key to this. I think a deal without America would be a very bad deal.
