That&#8217;s the announced size of the press contingent at the <a title=\"Poznan talks\" href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/earth\/greenpolitics\/3537770\/World-unites-for-climate-t%20alks.html\">UN climate talks<\/a> going on this week in Poznan, Poland. All those reporters should find something to write about, among the 10,696 reps from 187 countries.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, expectations are not high for this round, which is described by the U.N.&#8217;s Yvo deBoer as &#8220;the halfway point&#8221; to a successor agreement for the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012. DeBoer says he is hoping for substantive progress on matters like deforestation and technology transfer.<\/p>\n<p>So far it&#8217;s sounding a lot like the recent <a title=\"CW Blog post\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kqed.org\/climatewatch\/2008\/11\/18\/obama-steals-the-show\/\">Governors&#8217; Global Climate Summit<\/a> in Beverly Hills&#8211;at least until President-elect Barack Obama seized the crowd by laying out his aggressive plans for climate policy.
