LONDON - NOVEMBER 16: In this photo illustration an incandescent light bulb is illuminated on November 16, 2009 in London, England. As world leaders prepare to gather for the Copenhagen Climate Summit in December, the resolve of the industrial nations seems to be weakening with President Obama stating that it would be impossible to reach a binding deal at the summit. Climate campaigners are concerned that this disappointing announcement is a backward step ahead of the summit. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)
