It all ends in tears:

WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is known as the "hard man" of climate-change negotiation.

But after 12 exhausting days of trying to reach a worldwide agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it was suddenly all too much for Yvo de Boer.

As the 200-nation Bali conference wrangled over a minor procedural matter, the Dutch diplomat in charge of the talks burst into tears and had to be led away by colleagues.

Moments earlier, Mr de Boer had been warning delegates that failure to reach an agreement on global warming could "plunge the world into conflict".

Officials from China, which feels Western countries should do more to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, accused UN negotiators of ignoring conference protocol.

Mr de Boer, distinctively dressed in a floral shirt, stepped up to the microphone to defend his staff - only to find that the words would no longer come.

As his unfinished sentences trailed away, he broke down and walked off the platform to supportive applause.

**Oh for fucks sake, someone give that man a fucking slap and tell him to grow a pair. Look he gets a free trip to Bali, as many free drinks and nibbles as he can handle - hell maybe even a few hookers thrown in, just write them up as "expenses" - whilst staying in a nice hotel.

And he ends up crying. Maybe its the drinks a "tired and emotional" story, or as I think he just needs to get a grip. Realise he is on a non stop, first class gravy train paid for by the taxpayers and pull himself together.

However it raised a laugh from me. Mr de Boer I call you a poof!
