On Tuesday, Sheila, Mary and I were lucky enough to attend Nancy Pelosi's conference at the American University of Rome, titled “Tackling Climate Change: The Way Forward to Copenhagen”. Select members of Congress and representatives met with Italian officials (who, by the way, loved the fact that Nancy is the first Italian American Speaker) to discuss topics such as the implementation of power grids and various other climate change protocols. Persons present included George Miller, Edward Markey (who presented an excellent argument in which he stated the majority of pollution 'up there' is red, white and blue), Giuliano Amato and Antonio Navarra. Ms. Pelosi answered questions that arose concerning President Obama's plans to tackle this issue, stating that Mr. Obama will acknowledge rather than dismiss the Kyoto Protocol.
