Fed: Abbott hopes Copenhagen doesn't flop - for PM's sake

TONY ABBOTT's hoping the climate change summit in Copenhagen doesn't fail.

The opposition leader says KEVIN RUDD's invested an enormous amount of personal capital
in the summit .. and Mr ABBOTT hopes for his sake it comes up with some binding commitments.

But the prime minister's arrived in Copenhagen overnight .. warning the summit may be a failure.

Mr ABBOTT's told ABC Radio all the major polluting countries need to make commitments
to reduce their emissions by 2020 .. and Australia shouldn't go it alone.
