UN climate talks in trouble

AFP, Wiraw
Exasperated green groups walked ou of faltering UN climate talks in Warsav yesterday as rich and poor nation: bickered about who must do what tc curb planet warming.
The negotiations entered thei penultimate day in a stalemate ove how to curb dangerous greenhouse gas emissions and channel aid to pooi climate-vulnerable states.
In a dramatic flourish, six environ ment and development groups walkec out, saying the annual round of talks hac delivered little more than hot air and nt action since opening on November 11.
"The Warsaw climate conference which should have been an importan step in the just transition to a sustain able future, is on track to delive virtually nothing," said a statemen announcing the groups' decision.
The signatories are Greenpeace, WWI Oxfam, ActionAid, the Internationa Trade Union Confederation and Friend:
otthe tarth.
"The stakes are too high to allov governments to make a mockery o these talks," said an Oxfam statement.
The groups pointed the finger a Poland for its "endorsement" of < global coal summit held in the same city and at the same time as the talks Japan for slashing its carbon emission; goal, and Australia's decision to scrap < carbon tax on high emitters.
Non-governmental organisation; (NGOs) attend the talks as observer; and advisors. Their presence endorse; the role of civil society in these impor tant, but hugely complex negotiations But decision-making is reserved fo UN member states.
On Wednesday, UN chief Ban Ki moon had urged nations to "muck bolder" action to stave off an existen tial peril for the Earth.
Gathering more than 190 nations the talks are meant to pave the way to < pact to be signed in Paris by the end o 2015 to limit warming to 2.0 degree;
Celsius over pre-industrial levels.
At its heart would be national pledges to tame carbon gases emitted by burning coal, oil and gas, which provide the backbone of the world's energy supply today.
On current emissions trends, scientists warn the Earth could face warming of 4.0 C or higher - a recipe for catastrophic storms, droughts, floods and land-gobbling sea-level rise.
Developing countries want wealthy nations to shoulder a bigger share of emissions cuts to make up for a long history of fossil-fuel combustion. The West, though, insists that emerging economies must do their fair share.
Another quarrel is over money. Developing nations are challenging wealthy countries to honour a 2009 pledge to muster up to $100 billion by 2020, up from $10 billion a year from 2010 to 2012.
But, the developed world is wary of unveiling a detailed plan at this stage, or pledging any new short-term figures.
