DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Even as international climate talks ended
this weekend with no new commitments on carbon emissions or climate aid from
the United States, some were relieved America didn't make a weak deal even
weaker.
Other countries are now watching to see if the Obama
administration will back up post-election comments about climate change with
renewed efforts to cut emissions at home, and pave the way for more ambitious
targets as work proceeds to adopt a new global climate pact in 2015.
