The official capacity of the Bella Center is 15,000. I have heard estimates of up to 34,000 requests for accreditation to attend the conference. In fact they’ve stopped (possibly temporarily) issuing press passes because of the large number of attendees. There are also thousands of others who have decended upon the city of Copenhagen to be a part of history in the making. It is not surprising then that millions of people around the world are keeping track of the conference through virtual means like this blog.
Thanks to everyone for reading my daily posts, including the folks at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) who are spreading the word on the CIRES Climate Literacy page.
A couple of other information sources you might want to check out include the official US web page that provides information on activities within the U.S. Center (some of which are simulcast virtually), and the soon to be up and running UCAR blog (GLOBE’s home institution) Currents.
