Negotiators from countries around the world seemed poised to rebuff the youth demands for a dramatic intervention to avert the worst of climate change, and, in doing so, condemn them to face the worst effects of climate change. A week into the talks, Barack Obama arrived in Glasgow with a message of encouragement for the young climate activists: keep up the good work.
