STRASBOURG, France (Reuters) - France has put 24 green activists under house arrest ahead of the United Nations climate talks, using emergency laws put in place following the Paris shootings, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said on Saturday. Cazeneuve said the activists were suspected of planning violent protests at the talks which kick off on Sunday, a day ahead of the opening ceremony, and run until Dec. 11.

Global warming summit will produce '300,000 TONS of C02' as 50,000 people travel to Paris from across the world for two-week conferenceAccording to calculations by Wired and Steven Stoft of climateParis.org, the average round trip per attendee will be around 9,000 miles.Taking the fuel consumption of a Boeing 747 – around 16.5 miles per gallon – which the website describes as a 'happy medium between private jets and bullet trains', it is estimated around 27 million gallons of fuel will be used by travellers attending the conference. This figure was arrived at by multiplying the number of attendees by the around round trip mileage to get 450million miles then multiplying that by 16.5miles per gallon.With each gallon of fuel producing around 21 pounds of carbon dioxide, the total released by planes flying to and from Paris is thought to be about 575million pounds (290,000 tons), according to rough calculations.
