Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Obama To Copenhagen For Climate Talks WASHINGTON -- A White House official says President Barack Obama will travel to Copenhagen next month for a global climate conference.The official says the president will be in Copenhagen on Dec. 9 before heading to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. Obama's attendance had been in question until now. At least 65 world leaders will attend and seek to lay out the framework for a new global warming treaty. Obama has said the goal at the Copenhagen meeting should be an agreement that has "immediate operational effect," not just a political declaration. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the formal announcement has not been made. Under pressure from other nations as one of the world's largest greenhouse-gas polluters, the Obama administration said the United States plans to present a target for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Copenhagen. small victories Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
