(IP) –The historic 18th Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Summit held in Copenhagen, Denmark, the largest ever gathering of its kind, was attended by approximately 15,000 delegates: official representatives from 192 nations, political leaders, members from hundreds of non-governmental organizations, and thousands of citizens of the world. All arrived with no delusions about the ideological, logistical, and strategic battle that would take place in the Belle Center in the Danish capital.
