Glad to see that the President is taking leadership on climate change seriously

President Obama is doing what Bush never did. He's taking climate change seriously.
Here's a piece from the Boston Globe:

Obama will be at the summit on Dec. 18, considered a crucial period when more leaders will be in attendance, as opposed to his scheduled stop in Denmark on Wednesday on his way to pick up his Nobel Peace Prize the next day in Oslo. The earlier stop at the two-week meeting was looked upon by many as a sign that an agreement was still a long shot. But now with the United States, India, and China all with specific proposals on the table for the first time to cut carbon emissions, a political agreement seems more likely. None of the three countries - which are among the top five emitters of carbon dioxide in the world - were subject to limits put in place by the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, the treaty that negotiations in Denmark seek to replace.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!
