changing the climate

the white house recently announced that president Barack Obama himself will be attending the United Nations Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen,Denmark on December 9th. This is a huge change in policy from the Bush years where man made global warming was denounced as basically a lie. During his time at the conference the president will announce his plan to cut down on carbon emissions and general pollution in the United States by 30% over the next 15 years as part of a plan to eventually cut them down by 80% from the current levels. Many climate organizations see this announcement and his visit as very encouraging and it shows that the US is serious about fighting a global issue.


"President Obama's personal involvement in this historic event shows the U.S. is serious about protecting the climate and creating a clean energy future for the world, said Jennifer Haverkamp, managing director of International Policy and Negotiations at EDF. "With the President attending, the odds of Copenhagen producing real progress leading to a final, effective agreement in the coming months just shot up."

Its good to see us finally get serious about this issue even if the president is only going to be there for a couple of days at the most. Oh and he wont be the only US delegate over there here are some of the other people going to the conference
