Will US President Barack Obama attend the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen?

Background: US President Barack Obama is likely to attend the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December, former US Vice President Al Gore has told SPIEGEL in an interview. Gore said he is optimistic the US Congress will agree an outline of climate legislation before the conference, allowing Obama to head to the Danish capital with "a more substantive position."

President Obama will probably not attend the U.N. conference on climate change in December because it is not a "head of state" event, but may use his acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize as a platform to address climate change issues.

President Obama is "leaning toward not going" to the U.N. climate change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, in December, a senior administration official told Fox News.

The current thinking in the administration is that since the conference is not a "head of state" event, Obama will not attend. Obama will be accepting the Nobel Prize in Oslo on the second day of the Copenhagen conference and may use that platform to address climate change issues.

He's an idiot so why would he not attend a meeting to discuss fraud? He should be worrying about organizing Santa's elves into a labor union. That is just as urgent of a problem.

SINGAPORE -- President Obama will attend a hastily arranged climate change breakfast Sunday at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, a White House official said.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Mexican President Felipe Calderon organized what a White House official described as "an informal breakfast meeting on climate change" --

a meeting that was not part of the official APEC program.

Looks like 'No', so far.
