Will British Prime Minister Gordon Brown attend the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen?

Background: British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he was willing to attend talks in Copenhagen to broker a new global agreement to fight climate change, and said he would encourage other leaders to participate if necessary.

A new United Nations deal to combat global warming is due to be thrashed out in the Danish capital in December. Countries would be represented by their environment ministers unless other leaders take up Brown's suggestion.

"If it is necessary to clinch the deal, I will personally go to Copenhagen to achieve it -- and I will be urging my fellow leaders to do so too," Brown wrote in an article in Newsweek magazine.
