ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, Oct 2 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama would consider attending climate talks in Copenhagen in December if heads of state were invited, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters on Friday.

"Right now you've got a meeting that's set up for a level not at the head of state," Gibbs said on Air Force One as Obama traveled home from a brief trip to Copenhagen. "If it got switched, we would certainly look at coming." (Reporting by Jeff Mason)
