Last June, a group of scientists met up in Copenhagen as part of the preparation for the December summit. They hinted at some bad prognosis in regards to climate change.
At the time, I thought that this would be the focus of the December summit: Forcing industrialized nations to put in more concrete efforts and act quickly to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
What then happened late October was that US Pres. Barack Obama announced that he may not show up at the summit because the United States would probably not have agreed on a cap and trade bill. But now, with the recent visit of the Danish prime minister in Washington, looks like Obama will be in Copenhagen.
Then comes more controversy with the conservatives trying to turn Copenhagen into a platform for communist leftists wanting to create a totalitarian world regime.
This is hot stuff and I am currently doing some research on that for my next post.
Wombles, a UK group promoting anarchy is planning a series of protests leading up to and during the Copenhagen summit, COP15 for short, since it will be the fifteenth summit related to climate change.
