COP 15

The U.N. Summit on Climate Change

A Treaty is Postponed

From The New York Times, November 15, 2009:

"President Obama and other world leaders have decided to put off the difficult task of reaching a climate change agreement at a global climate conference scheduled for next month, agreeing instead to make it the mission of the Copenhagen conference to reach a less specific “politically binding” agreement that would punt the most difficult issues into the future."
