Path to Dec 7-18 talks in Copenhagen.
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.

About Me
- James McGinley
- No fan am I of the man Jesus, no Christian am i. A disciple of Jesus I am, an ardent greedy student, because I want the supremely joyful life that he had and told me I could have, taught me how to have, and have now attained. And infinitely more than for me, I want that joyful life for everyone, most of all, for the least of these my family of humanity. And because the dozens and dozens of great souls throughout history, what they learned and embodied, all points me to his teachings and example. For the collective joyful life of it. Jesus' disciple, James Ps. Of one thing I am certain, that the only thing I can be certain of is that I know nothing to be true with absolute certainty. To do other than that would be to place myself in the position of allah, yahweh, God, the all-knowing, absolute truth... like the Christians do. And in that and every other way, I am not a christian.
