Follow on Google News | CIG: Obama may travel to Copenhagen to assist in clinching climate deal.In his strongest yet assertion Barack Obama has agreed to travel to Copenhagen if his presence will assist in sealing a deal.
By: CIG LLC "If I am confident that all of the countries involved are bargaining in good faith and we are on the brink of a meaningful agreement and my presence in Copenhagen will make a difference in tipping us over edge then certainly that's something that I will do," Obama is quoted as saying by a major news source known to CIG. The President, who is facing strong resistance from Republicans and some powerful fellow Democrats on a proposed cap and trade bill recognized that that the was no chance of the Senate passing climate change legislation before the December Copenhagen talks deadline. The U.S who pulled out of the Kyoto Protocol in 2001 has not been held in a positive light by its European counterparts due to its ongoing delays in policy and its uncompromising stance on financial responsibility to developing nations for the management of the effects of climate change, but Obama claimed that he remained positive that Copenhagen could reach a framework agreement. "I think the question is can we create a set of principles, building blocks, that allow for ongoing and continuing progress on the issue and that's something I'm confident we can achieve," CIG believes he was quoted as saying.
