A strong leader negotiator is needed as stated by the author is the main point of the passage. The characters a strong leader has are exceptional skill, knowledge and diplomacy as what a respectable professional diplomat said.
Firstly, after the quotation, the writer introduced some facts on Climate Change to give a background and let readers know what situation we are in now.Then he gives his main point that the main reason that caused these problem is the lack of a strong leader and the best way to solve this problem is to find a strong leader, because the failure of the conference is largely caused by a lack of a strong leader(the leader was changed again and again, finally, it was a leader who was considered to be without necessary experiences that presided over the talks.)
Later in the passage, the author gives a solution that we a committee that combines UNFCCCIf and the Kyoto Protocol can be formed. If such a committee is formed, its elected chair would naturally lead the negotiations at the Copenhagen summit. And there is a good chance that this strong international leader will make a difference. After this, the leader holds himself as an example and then mentions Jean-Maurice Ripert and Tommy Koh and the excellent work they had done to illustrate how important it is to have a strong leader in charge. The auther did not only talk about some leaders we already know but also introduced some leaders he had been working with, which shows that he was also a leader in this field and made his statements more believable.
In the conclusion, with reference to the conference in Copenhagen, he said a good leader is so important that without one, no conclusion will be made and we could do nothing but postpone the discussion. By arguing his statement from another perspective, he lets his readers understand his point better.
