With Climate Deal Up in Air, Obama Takes Lowered Expectations to Denmark

Obama will be meeting in Denmark Friday for a global warming summit. Hia goal is to leave a impression of the nations present to cut the emissions of green house gases. Currently at home legilation is held up until next year so nothing is currently being done in the United States. Our goal is to gut emissions byt 17 percent by 2020 a mere 4 percent increase from 1990. This is not a very big amount but its a start. We are also looking at raising the budget 100billion by 2020 to help underdeveloped countries with global warming. This is being critizied by senate because they are worried about giving money to nations who do not like us very much. The point is clear that we need to set an example and Obama is making the first step to doo this.
