Obama to attend climate talks in Copenhagen
President Obama will travel to Copenhagen in December to help kick off the global climate talks despite the conference’s failure to secure a binding worldwide treaty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
An administration official said Obama will travel to the Danish capital Dec. 9, one day before he visits nearby Oslo to officially accept the Nobel Peace Prize.
There had been doubts about whether the president would attend the climate change conference. He had said for weeks that he would go only if his presence would help produce a meaningful result.
Here’s a fashion statement that “would help produce a meaningful result”:
Tim Blair has the shirt. “Hide the decline” in global temperatures, that is.

A partial review of the hacked material suggests there was an effort at East Anglia, which houses an important center of global climate research, to shut out dissenters and their points of view.
In the emails, which date to 1996, researchers in the U.S. and the U.K. repeatedly take issue with climate research at odds with their own findings. In some cases, they discuss ways to rebut what they call “disinformation” using new articles in scientific journals or popular Web sites.
The emails include discussions of apparent efforts to make sure that reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations group that monitors climate science, include their own views and exclude others. In addition, emails show that climate scientists declined to make their data available to scientists whose views they disagreed with.
But back to Obama’s sartorial choices: He’s reading up on fashion by carrying the GQ with himself on the cover,

Hide the decline!

I just saw a report on the German Yahoo site that he is not attending. Don’t tell me our president is dithering.
Maybe I misread that. The latest report says he coming for 1 day but won’t hang around for negotiations.
He is going on Dec.9th.Right now he giving a turkey a pardwn.I guess he hase’nt hear gobal warming is a hoax.Its just a vac.He is no American Prez.
Maybe Pres Obama hasn’t learned the words to Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen yet,
I never thought of it before but there should be a dress code for American presidents. Such as no leisure suits, no I’m with Stupid t-shirts and especially no stupid looking sandals combined with big feet.
Let’s add Jimmy Carter’s cardigans to that list, Pat.
