UN climate talks end in disappointment, finger-pointing

  • Six days of international talks on climate change ended in disappointment on Saturday, with little sign of progress and host nation China accusing developed nations of backtracking on promises.
  • Chinese negotiator Su Wei said "some developed nations" were "trying to rewrite" the Kyoto Protocol on emissions controls, which expires in 2012, and "shun their emission cut obligations." "That is a retreat from the past meeting. Any moves that aim to overthrow the Kyoto Protocol should be denounced," Chinese state media quoted Su as saying.
