Governments around the globe are firming up their positions of climate change issues prior to the UN discussions in December in Copenhagen.
But some of the newest technologies coming out of research institutions such as the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in San Diego have the potential to render some of those decisions obsolete.
Four more rounds of formal negotiations are scheduled before the Dec 7-18 talks in Copenhagen. These are June 1-12 in Bonn, Germany; Aug 10-14 in Bonn; Sept 28 to Oct 9 in Bangkok; and Nov 2-6, at a venue yet to be decided.
In addition, heads of state and government will gather in September at a U.N. climate change summit in New York and President Obama will host a major economies forum on the sidelines of the G8 in Italy in July. Two other meetings convened by the United States will take place, one probably 26-27 May in Paris and another in June.
