“After a global outcry, President Obama has listened to the people and other world leaders; he has come to his senses and accepted the importance of this potentially historic meeting,” said Martin Kaiser, Greenpeace International’s political climate coordinator.
“Now that he has moved the date, he needs to move his targets and his financial contribution to be in line with what climate science demands.”
“All the elements are now in place for the leaders in Copenhagen to move forward together to agree a legally binding treaty to stop climate chaos.”
