UN-INDIA 2LST

Ahead of the summit, the UN chief has reiterated that the
US holds the key to a success at the Climate Conference.

"The Secretary General believes that the full engagement
of the US in the multilateral process coupled with its
recently announced international target and its own domestic
effort on climate change is a potential game changer that can
propel global action," Pasztor said.
Responding to concerns about the leaked emails which
indicated UK scientists of exaggerating climate change threat,
Pasztor said that top UN official Rajendra Pachauri had stated
that it (emails) had not changed the majority of scientific
opinion on the issue.
"What he has told us is that so far any information that
has appeared – there may have been unfortunate developments -
but nothing changes the sciences," he said, adding that
majority of the scientific opinion has changed nothing.
In an interview with the BBC, Pachauri who is the chair
of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said "we
will look into it in detail" and "we certainly don't want to
brush anything under the carpet."
Pasztor told journalists that the leaked emails had not
caused any practical damage in the flow of the negotiations.
The Copenhagen Conference will be the largest climate
meet ever with over attendance of 15,000 people and more than
100 heads of state confirming their participation in the
top-level talks. PTI BS
