U.N. climate negotiators looked Wednesday to the United States to bring fresh ideas - perhaps in the form of extra billions of dollars - to try to salvage a bare-bones political agreement by the end of the week on controlling global warming.The U.S. must find ways of meeting demands by a suspicious world on reducing greenhouse gas emissions without exceeding what Congress will allow. It must also find the cash in a tight budget.
"The United States is back and President Barack Obama is coming to Copenhagen to put America on the right side of history," said Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was on her way to Copenhagen as negotiations over a draft agreement effectively came to a halt after an all-night session that broke up at dawn Wednesday with a confused text leaving most issues to be decided by ministers or heads of government.
Good luck, Madame Secretary! We know you can do it!
