Do you think Obama will go to Copenhagen?

I'm fully aware that Barack Obama will attend the COP15 and that is terrific news. I've known for more than a week now, i guess.


However, around 2 or 3 weeks ago, there was two discussion questions: "Do You think Obama will go to Copenhagen?" and "Do you think Obama should go to Copenhagen?" The second essay will be posted in the next post :)

Hence, for the first question, this is the response I wrote:

Do you think Obama will go to Copenhagen?

"If I am confident that all of the countries involved are bargaining in good faith and we are on the brink of a meaningful agreement and my presence in Copenhagen will make a difference in tipping us over edge then certainly that's something that I will do," This was what Obama told Reuters in an interview.

By reading this, I became certain that Obama would go to Copenhagen. The source tells that he said if his presence in Copenhagen will make a difference, then attending COP15 would be something that he will do.

My certainty swelled when I further read this article. To me, his quotes seemed as if he also believes that he should be going to Copenhagen.

As I have written before, his presence would be a sign of leadership and global involvement; therefore, I don't think he would pass it. Especially when he just got elected as president this year. I think that his absence would be as if he was withdrawing himself from a race. The race is between us, and the limited amount of time we have to safe our beloved planet.

In conclusion, I think Obama, as one of the great world leaders will go to Copenhagen and make a difference. It would be very little chance of him disappointing people with his absence. I expect Barack Obama to attend the conference and looking forward to seeing him.
