World leaders are meeting from December 7th -18th to create the successor to the Kyoto protocol. This is the last chance global meeting, what is decided at Copenhagen will come into effect in 2012 when the Kyoto protocol expires. Scientists report that at current predicted emission rates that the Copenhagen summit will be the last chance for governments to create a deal that could limit the effects of climate change.
