Obama reached an agreement with world leaders at the climate conference in Copenhagen to limit global warming to no more than 2 degrees Celsius and to require countries to list their national actions and commitments to achieving emission reduction goals. Thus leaving the US in control of it’s own destiny..  Business as usual. 
I do hope we can move along with common sense to build green jobs as well as a manufacturing base, built on sustainability, so that we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
This agreement makes important steps towards transparency, but what will the Senate do to pass the climate bill and really make a difference?  This decade is crucial  to meet the demands of a clean energy century, cap our carbon omissions and create jobs in the process.
