Climate Change And Global Pollution To Be Discussed At Copenhagen Summit

MERTHYR TYDFIL, UNITED KINGDOM - NOVEMBER 17: Dumped and fly tipped rubbish litters the ground beneath electricity pylons passing the Ffos-Y-Fran opencast coal mine on November 17, 2009 in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. As world leaders prepare to gather for the Copenhagen Climate Summit in December, the resolve of the industrial nations seems to be weakening with President Obama stating that it would be impossible to reach a binding deal at the summit. Climate campaigners are concerned that this disappointing announcement is a backward step ahead of the summit. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
