A group of African delegates is blocking the last round of climate change talks before a major summit in Copenhagen next month. The Africans want richer nations to agree to more ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals, among other measures.
Just a day after they opened, the climate change talks in Barcelona have stalled, as a group of about 50 African countries air their unhappiness about the cuts in greenhouse gas emissions that richer nations are prepared to make. Those cuts will be key to the success of a December summit in Copenhagen, aimed to reach a new climate change deal to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
