'Hypocrisy' of Huhne at the eco summit with personal Jacuzzi in each £240-a-night room | Mail Online
After a hard day at the negotiating table, what could be nicer than a soak in your personal double Jacuzzi with a view over the Caribbean?

Such luxury will greet Cabinet minister Chris Huhne – and 45 other British Government delegates – during international global warming talks in Mexico.

Mr Huhne, the Liberal Democrat Energy and Climate Change Secretary, will be enjoying the facilities of the £240-a-night Moon Palace Golf and Spa

Should he be tempted to use his hot tub, however, he will be doing the environment no favours. A typical double Jacuzzi generates 35 times more carbon dioxide than an ordinary bath – and 80 times more than a five-minute shower.

The summit is part of a long process to get countries to sign up to legally binding cuts in greenhouse gas emissions that will prevent world temperatures rising more than 2C this century.

The vast majority of climate scientists say any increases above that will lead to floods and droughts.
