Here are some pictures from Copenhagen and from inside the Bella Center where the COP 15 is taking place. The slogan "Hopenhagen" has been taken up by the city with the hope that an effective agreement will be reached. One of the greatest things about Copenhagen are the amazing bike lanes and the amount of people who bike commute. At 7 am it's completely dark, and absolutely too cold, but people all over commute to work by bicycle. It's fantastic. Just imagine if Hawai'i or San Diego were to put in bike lanes all over the city/island - what if a bike lane connected L.A. to San Diego, Mililani Town to Honolulu... if Danes can bike commute in freezing temperatures, surely, with the right city planning, those of us from warm places would enjoy doing it too! I do realize that Denmark isn't Sweden, but just liked the sign:)
