Washington, DC - As representatives negotiate a new global warming treaty at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) plans to unveil a "Copenhagen Wall" representing the divide carbon regulation would create between wealthy nations and the poverty-stricken developing world.
 
According to the World Bank, access to affordable energy is the defining characteristic of a developed nation. Yet, environmental activists and politicians around the world want to restrict access to affordable and reliable energy under the guise of alarmist claims about global warming. A new UN climate treaty would be a huge barrier to economic development and political freedom in the developing world.
