This General Assembly gathering is, however, a little different in that it is focusing on global climate change and serving as a, well, warmer upper, for a later gathering in Copenhagen. Added to the U.N. event we have the Clinton Global Initiative gathering, also in New York, and the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh at week’s end.
Is it too much for people to expect only positive developments from all these gatherings? Probably.
