While in Singapore at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit this weekend President Obama said 'No, we can't' on a binding Copenhagen agreement.
With only 22 days to go and no Senate bill in hand Obama announced he would back a 2-stage "deferral plan," using COP15 to establish a political framework as the first step towards a legally binding agreement to come sometime in 2010.
