Delegates are now in week 2 of the Climate Change Summit in Cancun. The intent of the U.N. sponsored summit is to slow the process of global warming.
Last year the summit was held in Copenhagen and it produced so little in terms of progress that it drastically lowered the expectations of this year's event. The location, Cancun, also may have put into question the seriousness of the conference since the city is better known for spring break and not for high-minded discussion (or maybe it has a reputation for "high-mindedness).
