Also, KCRW's General Manger Ruth Seymour is stepping down. On our rebroadcast of To the Point, world leaders now agree that next month’s meeting in Copenhagen will not produce a binding agreement for action on global warming.

On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, world leaders now agree that next month’s meeting in Copenhagen will not produce a binding agreement for action on Global Warming.  What happened to the sense of urgency?  Can President Obama take the lead without both houses of Congress?
