This week brings a “Summit on Climate Change” at the United Nations in New York City. With so many summits, rallies and special days devoted to discussing climate change, the point of this summit might not be immediately obvious.
The first thing to know is that this is not a negotiating meeting as recent ones in Bonn, Germany have been, or like and the upcoming one in Bangkok will be.
Still it is a part of the run-up to the Copenhagen conference Dec. 7-18, where world leaders will try to reach a new global climate agreement holding all participating nations to specific reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
