Al Gore canceled his appearance in Copenhagen, where people had paid $1200 per person to meet and be photographed with him. That the "king" of global warming won't be present in Copenhagen says quite a lot.
On a side-note, 1700 scientists in Britain signed a declaration saying that they believe the scientist behind global warming is correct. Left unsaid is that many of these scientists have nothing to do with global warming research, and there are reports now coming in that scientists were pressured to sign the declaration:
"A scientist told The Times of London he felt pressure to sign. "The Met Office is a major employer of scientists and has long had a policy of only appointing and working with those who subscribe to their views on man-made global warming," he said."

Don't worry, Al can afford the loss to pay them back from the billions of profit he has made off of global warming.
Yes 1700, most under pressure as the Times of London quoted, signed. Compare that to the 31,486 with 9029 holding PhDs of American scientists signing the Global Warming Petition -

to say they have serious doubts about the validity of climate change and the link with climate change and CO2.
That is like 18:1. Anyway I wonder how many of the 1700 are receiving grants to prove the climate change argument.
Interesting.
You may be right that nothing will really change at Copenhagen. That event isn't designed for opposed thinking.
