Glenn Beck is not known for his compassion. As host of the third highest rated radio talk show and a new program soon to debut on Fox News, Beck courts controversy regularly. His caustic and often conservative commentary has offended Mexicans, Jews and Muslims, which is why his New York Times best seller extolling the virtues of forgiveness and the Christmas spirit might surprise some.

Eastern European nations, like summit host Poland, remain dependent on heavy industries and polluting power like coal. And lately, given the severe economic downturn, Europe has edged away from its leadership on climate change. On Dec. 11, even as the U.N. summit has begun to heat up, the E.U. will meet in Brussels to vote on its ambitious 20-20-20 plan, which aims to reduce greenhouse gases continent-wide...
