Climate-change summit: A positive vision from the chaos of Copenhagen - Telegraph

Some sort of text will be agreed – there can be no doubt about that. President Obama, Wen Jiabao and the rest of the global establishment are not going to overnight in Denmark for a non-event.

Climategate, Copenhagen and the EPA

It’s about economic strength.” The nations at the negotiation, he added, “just have to slug it out.”

That is a remarkable statement, and may turn out to be the most truthful comment made during this entire two-week conference.
