Copenhagen will be the venue of the showdown of the year. More than 10,000 participants and activists are expected - but the crucial 20 players haven't yet decided whether they will come or not: the G20 head of states.
As whatseuropinion argues, the EU is not going to have a strong Commissioner to represent this important economic bloc. Nor will Germany have an environment minister with experience to attend the conference. But crucially, it is clear already now that the head of states will need to step in to save the conference from failure. Even if a compromise could be prepared during the week, the head of states would need to fly in to seal the deal - too much is at stake and too grave are the differences in interests.
Obama himself will receive the Peace Nobel Price shortly before the end of Copenhagen. That is, he will be in Scandinavia anyhow. He hasn't yet ruled out coming to Copenhagen - but for protocol reasons it is clear that he wouldn't attend unless other head of states would do so. Merkel, to name just another head of state, hasn't yet ruled out coming as well. So why not asking the head of states to step by in Copenhagen for a nice pyjama party? Obama, let's throw a proper party with the truely important guests!
