A Climate Deal Unlikely to happen by Copenhagen next Month

Monday, November 16, 2009

On Sunday, the top economic powers met with President Obama at the APEC summit. The leaders acknowledged that most likely there would be no chance of a major developement concerning climate change by the end of this year.  Next month, there will be another conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, and issues over global warming have almost no chance of producing a climate-change deal by the end of December, 2009.
But everyone agrees that they must start somewhere, and Copenhagen, Denmark is the most likely place. So now it's a two step deal, as the leaders will use Copenhagen as a stepping stone to get talks going. That would mean all 191 countries involved would begin the framework of ideas that also includes a plan on how to battle climate change, funded in a coordinated effort. One of the ultimate goals that would be spelled out in step two, would be to come to an agreement on carbon emissions. The two step process is most popular amongst everyone involved, because it is agreed that only 22 days before Copenhagen would be too short a time to make difficult decisions.
The issue still may be whether President Obama will attend the Copenhagen conference, as others such as former Vice-President Al Gore is lobbying for Obama to attend,  as Gore believes the Presidents presence would send a strong signal to the world about the United States commitment to battle climate change.
