World's Climate-Change Leaders Converge on Poland as Vatican Installs 2400 Solar Panels
COP14 Update: Government leaders, environment officials and other experts are converging on Poznan, Poland for the latest round of global climate change talks. Seeking to advance towards ratification of a post-Kyoto Protocol global accord and action plan to mitigate and adapt to climate change, the results of the Poznan meeting take on even greater urgency and significance in light of the financial system crisis and impending recession.
Meanwhile, at the Holy See in Vatican City, Catholic church officials announced that 2400 solar panels are placed on top of the massive roof of the Vatican's Nervi Hall, where the pope receives general audiences.
The panels are not noticeable from the ground below and can provide all of the energy for the hall and a few other buildings adjacent to it. Exact output is 300 kilowatt hours (kWh) annually.
