The Copenhagen climate talks are fast approaching and the world is making last minute preparations. Copenhagen has equipped itself with the best environmental technology including a “Climate Express” train that carried 450 UN related visitors to Copenhagen from Brussels, another effort of the UN to show what they are trying to accomplish in regard to the environment (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121119510). Following the lead of the Maldives, Nepal’s cabinet also met in an exotic place very touched by global warming: Mr. Everest! (http://en.cop15.dk/news/view+news?newsid=2830) President Obama shifted his visit of the climate talks to the end, a more crucial point in the conference. Here are some articles that are good preparatory treatments:
