As a kid in Milwaukee, my parents told me that Santa would leave coal in my stocking if I was naughty.

As the post mortem of Copenhagen is written, was it a lump of coal in our 2009 holiday stocking – – or could this global chunk of carbon actually be a diamond in the rough?

President Obama, who will personally participate in the Copenhagen climate talks this week, said last Sunday that he expects to get a health care bill on his desk before Christmas.

I cannot tell a lie. When Terry Tamminen, the fearless leader of Seventh Generation Advisors, my boss, and a hero of mine both professionally and personally, told me he would not be able to attend COP15 I was devastated.
