Obama to Make a Cameo in CopenhagenPosted on Nov 25, 2009
The United States will take part, after all, in next month’s United Nations climate summit in Copenhagen. President Obama will attend the meeting, if only for a day, to do his part for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the White House also announced its provisional plans to significantly reduce U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions by 2020 and beyond. —KA

The US and China have finally announced real numbers for their targets to reduce carbon emissions. Unfortunately these numbers, especially from the US, are far too weak. We need a strong agreement at Copenhagen, but this won’t get us there. In many ways, a weak agreement at Copenhagen could be even worse than no agreement, as it would lock in targets too small to make a significant difference.

I’m very glad Obama is going to Copenhagen. There is nothing that discourages other countries like the psychological drag of the Big Giant sitting on top of the Beanstalk, saying, in effect, what you all are doing down there is not important enough for my attention—in fact, it may not even be necessary. Are you sure you’re drowning? Call me later, when my life is really in danger.
