President-elect Barack Obama before the Copenhagen summit to save the planet from global warming:

Few challenges facing America – and the world – are more urgent than combating climate change. The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear. Sea levels are rising. Coastlines are shrinking. We’ve seen record drought, spreading famine, and storms that are growing stronger with each passing hurricane season….

Once I take office, you can be sure that the United States will once again engage vigorously in the [climate] negotiations, and help lead the world toward a new era of global cooperation on climate change…

Delay is no longer an option. Denial is no longer an acceptable response. The stakes are too high. The consequences, too serious.

President Barack Obama at the Copenhagen summit, in leaders’ conversations “accidentally” recorded and now published in Der Spiegel:

In response to Sarkozy, Obama makes it clear that he is not prepared to stay beyond a few hours. “Nicolas, we are not staying until tomorrow. I’m just letting you know. Because all of us obviously have extraordinarily important other business to attend to.”
