The world is arriving in Copenhagen with unprecedented unity in order to seek a climate pact, although the historic UN Climate Change Conference has been overshadowed by hacked e-mails and protests around Europe.
At a news conference in the Bella Center, UNFCCC Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer called on the 192 nations represented at the UN climate summit starting Monday "to deliver a strong and long-term response to the challenge of climate change."
Still, De Boer worried that e-mails pilfered would fuel skepticism among those who believe that scientists exaggerate global warming, but defended the research – reviewed by some 2,500 scientists – that shows man has fueled global warming by burning fossil fuels, according to the AP.
E-mails stolen from the climate unit at the University of East Anglia appeared to show some of world's leading scientists discussing ways to shield data from public scrutiny and suppress others' work.
Activists in Europe protested over the weekend to crank up the pressure on world leaders for a strong climate deal ahead of the 12-day UN climate conference.
Thousands of people dressed in blue marched through central London on Saturday, and more than 100 environmental campaigners camped out overnight in London's famous Trafalgar Square.
Similar protests were staged in Berlin, Paris, Brussels and Dublin.
