As the climate-change deal deadline in Copenhagen loomed late Thursday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton huddled with world leaders in an impromptu meeting that lasted into the wee hours of the morning, a State Department official on the scene reports.

Following Clinton’s attendance at the Queen’s dinner (after her meeting with Chinese premier Wen Jiabao), heads of state of key countries decided to go back to the Bella Center and talk it all out until past 2 a.m. In attendance were British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicholas Sarkozy, South African President Jacob Zuma, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and others, the official said.

China was represented by chief negotiator Su Wei (rather than Wen) and Clinton stepped out of the room twice to consult privately with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, who was also in town. The last-minute dealings showed the urgency and concern about reaching an agreement or at least keeping the possibility open as President Obama flew toward the conference.

Politico’s Glenn Thrush reported that Wen boycotted Friday morning’s leaders meeting, which Clinton attended. But then, Clinton sat in on Wen’s one-hour meeting with President Obama later in the morning, after which progress was reported.

When not shuttling around doing climate-change diplomacy, Clinton found time to sit in on National Security Advisor Jim Jones’s meeting with his Russian counterpart on the follow-on to the START nuclear reductions treaty. She also sat in on Obama’s bilateral with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, which covered START and a number of other issues. Busy day.

Clinton’s plan is to leave Copenhagen tonight but the schedule is fluid, our State Department official on the scene reports. One concern is the blizzard that’s headed to the Washington area now.

Either way, she’s going to miss State Department spokesman Robert Wood’s going-away party at 3 p.m. He’s headed to Vienna to be DCM there. Congrats, Robert!

Fantastic article. Thank you for sharing Jen.  :)  It is always nice to read about Hillary's work.

And, yes, I sure hope she runs for President some day, but right now, to me it is not looking like she will.  She is excelling in her role as SOS and has gained tremendous ratings with the people.. and that is certainly something to commend her for greatly.

Thanks again. :)  It is always nice to be among Hillary supporters.  Feels good.  :)

She will make a wonderful President and she is going to run again.  She says NO but she means YES.  She is proving herself to be quite the Hawk which will help us with the Conservatives in the GE and of course after Obama lied to the liberals they will more then likely be glad to support Hillary in the Primary.  She will be their best shot at getting Universal Health care.

Some info on Hillary's energy and climate views:

Hillary Clinton’s energy and environmental plans are centered on, stronger energy and automobile efficiency standards, a cap and trade system for carbon emissions plus a significant increase in green research funding. Clinton's plan will address the looming climate crisis and reduce America's reliance on foreign oil.

The plan would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent from 1990 levels by 2050 and cut foreign oil imports by two-thirds from 2030 projected levels.

Hillary Clinton would jumpstart energy research and development through a $50 billion Strategic Energy Fund transforming the economy from carbon-based to clean and energy efficient. She would also double investment in basic energy research. Clinton would spur the green building industry by funding the retrofitting and modernization of 20 million low-income homes. [snip] She would enforce strict energy efficiencies for appliances.


Hillary Clinton would help automakers retool their production facilities through $20 billion in "Green Vehicle Bonds." This would result in increased fuel efficiency standards to 55 miles per gallon by 2030.

Hillary will urge oil and energy companies to invest in cleaner, renewable technologies; request utilities to modernize the grid; and encourage industry to build energy efficient homes and buildings.

Wow, that's from www.2012hillaryclinton.com!!!wink
