A climate change activist stuck his hand smeared with superglue on to the sleeve of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown during their meeting Tuesday to protest the government's expansion of the country's premier airport.

Dan Glass, 24, and a member of the campaign group Plane Stupid, committed the stunt inside Brown's office at 10 Downing Street while receiving an award for campaigners from the prime minister.

Glass politely informed Brown that he was doing a non-violent protest to drive a point against the airport expansion and told the prime minister not to worry.

"We cannot shake away climate change like you can just shake away my arm. We can beat climate change, but this is not going to happen by planning the world's largest international airport at Heathrow," Glass told Brown, according to The London Paper.

Although a spokesman for Brown denied the incident, Glass said Brown did not take his action seriously and was able to free himself from the protester's grip. Glass was never driven out of Downing Street and was never arrested after leaving the building.
