Climate talks stall with nations 'wasting time'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18210642


The US was accused of being in a "coalition of the unwilling", along with other oil-fuelled states


The latest round of UN climate talks has made little progress, observers say.

The meeting in Bonn, Germany saw angry exchanges between rich nations, fast-industrialising ones and those prone to climate impacts.

Campaigners spoke of a "coalition of the unwilling" including the US, China, India and several Gulf states.

Developing countries are also concerned about the lack of firm pledges on finance beyond the end of this year.

You mean to say that the biggest polluters don't give a shit about the planet?

Well, well, well ...
