India outlines climate change plan ahead of Copenhagen summit

The United Nations Climate Change Conference begins next week in Copenhagen. And the world's biggest emitters of greenhouse gases are still far from a consensus. China, the world's lead producer of carbon emissions, has pledged to reduce its emissions by as much as 45 percent by 2020. US President Obama finally agreed to attend the conference, but Congress has yet to produce climate change legislation and the US has proposed only tentative cuts to emissions. Meanwhile, developing nations, which some scientists predict will be affected most by climate change, say richer countries are not doing enough.

Today, India's parliament debated their climate change plan - and officials made some important announcements.
