COP 19

COP 19, a meeting sponsored by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, is currently taking place in Warsaw, Poland.  One of the main goals of this conference is to start building towards an agreement, scheduled to be completed in 2015) under which all nations in the world agree on actions they will take to attempt to decrease carbon emissions enough to limit future temperature increase to less than 2 degrees C.

So far this meeting has not gotten a lot of attention in the news in the US.

Here is a link to a PowerPoint Presentation I prepared about COP 19 for another class (this info is for your information only.... not required for this class)
