1Sky Big News: Obama will go to Copenhagen if... http://planetark.org/wen/55403

"Ban Ki-moon and Janos Pasztor, the director of his Climate Change Support Team, were originally campaigning for agreement on a new treaty at Copenhagen. But both have scaled back expectations in the past month, focusing instead on getting a political deal on the key elements that can be turned into a treaty, hopefully next year.

At the final ... Read Moreround of negotiations in Barcelona that ended last week, the U.S. was universally seen as the linchpin to a political deal, but it has been unable to present its position or pledge emissions targets because of slow progress on climate legislation in Congress." - (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/10/obama-will-go-to-copenhag_n_351947.html)

The US is the linchpin to progress, yet a global deal will potentially fail due to slow and inadequate action from Congress.... Congress is the voice of the people... We put them there to represent us. They need to hear from us now - LOUD and CLEAR!

FOR TWO YEARS, the Danish capital of Copenhagen has been a beacon for environmentalists seeking a breakthrough international treaty on climate change. But with the long-awaited Copenhagen conference now just weeks away, it has become clear that the talks will not produce a grand, new accord...

This is Lord Nicholas Stern's offer for goals. He has a plan to reduce emissions that is science-based, AND allows developing nations to continue on that path. http://www2.lse.ac.uk/granthamInstitute/publications/MANAGING%20CLIMATE%20CHANGE%20AND%20OVERCOMING%20POVERTYx%20(2).pdf

This week can be summed up with a few big names: Barbara Boxer, John Kerry, Lindsey Graham, Al Gore, and African nations.
