'G8 is no longer enough' Protesters scale UK parliament Britain eyes 80% carbon cut

London - Environmental protest group Plane Stupid says one of its activists briefly glued himself to Britain's prime minister.

Plane Stupid says 24-year-old student Dan Glass slathered glue onto his hand and grasped the arm of Gordon Brown's suit during an awards ceremony on Tuesday.

An audio clip released by the group carries the sound of Brown laughing as Glass explains he is conducting a nonviolent protest.

Glass is then heard lecturing Brown about climate change and criticising plans to build a third runway at Heathrow Airport.

A Brown spokesperson says the "light-hearted" protest did not last very long because the glue was not that sticky and that Glass will not be punished.

The spokesperson spoke on condition of anonymity in line with office policy.
