Obama and Singh

Obama goes to Copenhagen
Last week President Obama deflated the hopes of climate activists when he announced that there would be no binding deal in Copenhagen. But they now have cause to celebrate.
An administrative official announced on Wednesday that the U.S. president would indeed attend Copenhagen to participate in the preliminary negotiation on Dec. 9, one day before he accepts the Nobel Peace Price in Norway.
