Copenhagen climate summit

Hopes were heightened as news came out that over sixty presidents, prime ministers, and other heads of state will be attending the international climate summit in Copenhagen this December. It had been feared that very little would get done, but now it is a definite possibility that some agreement could be reached. 192 countries so far will be represented at the summit - not among those, however, are China, India, and the United States, three of the world's biggest polluters. More controversy emerged as claims of changing data in relation to climate change surfaced. This should be only a minor setback, though, if at all, and should not affect the outcome of the talks next month.
