Copenhagen, Dec 15 2009.<\/p>\n
Today star power was invoked to add additional momentum for an agreement in Copenhagen with the appearance of California’s movie star climate friendly governor. His jovial attitude was well received, obviously a welcome change of pace for those in the packed hall.<\/p>\n
In a possible preemptive attempt to soften the blow from what could be a weak or even non-agreement conclusion to the COP 15 negotiations, Schwarzenegger redefined the meaning of success in Copenhagen, scaling dramatically back from the goal of a legally binding emissions reduction agreement to “the ability to think again”. He then pitched the idea of a U.N. climate summit for the region level which could be held in California. <\/p>\n
