Copenhagen Begins!

Some of you might not be aware but today marks the beginning of the International Conference in Copenhagen! The Kyoto Protocol, the key piece of international environmental legislation "runs out" in 2012, the last year marked off in any of it's provisions. The goal of the Copenhagen Conference are to hopefully come up with some new agreement on where the international community wants to go, environmentally.

Also exciting, Obama had previously planned to drop by Copenhagen during the opening days of the Conference. He has now announced his intention to postpone his visit and appear at the Conference on the last day, December 18th. This is significant because it is in the last days of the Conference which the majority of the significant decisions are made and agreements reached. The fourth quarter of a close game, only two minutes on the clock. According to the general public, news, and people who seem to have experience with these types of things, having Obama appear would be like having your starters playing the last two minutes, no injuries and everyone rearin' to go! :)

We'll see what happens, but hopefully some real progress will be made.
