leaders of the maldives-- a chain of islands in the indian ocean-- staged a cabinet meeting under water to emphasize fears of rising sea levels that could literally wash away their nation. nepal's cabinet took to the frigid heights of mount everest to declare the melting himalayan glaciers pose a threat to them. all this in the face of growing evidence from scientists that global warming risks more hurricanes, coastal flooding, disease and massive population migration. the best way to head that off, they argue, is by reducing the amount of carbon humans spew into the atmosphere. but because that entails costly changes in the forms of energy used, there's no guarantee the 192 countries meeting these two weeks will reach a deal. already, major players, including the u.s., have begun to stake out their positions in copenhagen. president obama has pledged to cut overall u.s. emissions by 17%, relative to 2005 levels, by 2020. today he met privately at the white house with business leaders and environmentalists with a stake in the outcome. >> there is a lot riding on this and i think there i
