The Washington Post reports that President Obama will attend international climate talks next month in Copenhagen and commit the U.S. to a short-term emission reduction target "in the range of 17 percent" below 2005 levels, providing new momentum for negotiations that had been faltering. Obama will travel to the Danish capital Dec. 9, one day before he visits nearby Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. In a further signal of the administration's commitment to the talks, the White House announced that it will dispatch an array of cabinet secretaries to Copenhagen. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson are all slated to attend, along with Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley, Office of Science and Technology Policy Director John Holdren, and Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change Carol Browner.

From ALG News Press Release: This interesting quick response by the Obama administration comes on the heels of news about Climate Change being a hoax. Amid the growing "Climategate" scandal over data manipulation and suppression by the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), Senator Jim Inhofe in calling for Congressional probes into the UN International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) twhich "used CRU's data as the primary foundation for 'man-made' climate change science."
The scandal began after computer hackers broke into the servers of the University of East Anglia's (UEA) Climatic Research Unit. There, they found and published emails showing that researchers deliberately manipulated climate "change" data to hide the actual decline of the Earth's temperatures. According to the UK Telegraph, "Around 1,000 emails and 3,000 documents were stolen from UEA computers by hackers last week and uploaded on to a Russian server before circulating on websites run by climate change sceptics. Some of the correspondence indicates that the manipulation of data was widespread among global warming researchers."
One particular email from CRU director Phil Jones in 1999 stated, "I've just completed Mike's Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline." [More information on Climategate]
