Almost 200 nations accepted a contentious climate compromise Saturday aimed at keeping a key global warming target alive, but it contained a last-minute change that watered down crucial language about coal.Several countries, including small island states, said they were deeply disappointed by the change promoted by India to 맥스카지노�phase down,맥스카지노� rather than 맥스카지노�phase out맥스카지노� coal power, the single biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions.Nation after nation had complained earlier on the final day of two weeks of U.N. climate talks in Glasgow, Scotland about how the deal did not go far or fast enough, but they said it was better than nothing and provided incremental progress, if not success.Negotiators from Switzerland and Mexico called the coal language change against the rules because it came so late. However, they said they had no choice but to hold their noses and go along with it.Swiss environment minister Simonetta Sommaruga said the change will make it harder to achieve the international goal to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times.맥스카지노�Our fragile planet is hanging by a thread,맥스카지노� United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement. 맥스카지노�We are still knocking on the door of climate catastrophe.맥스카지노�Many other nations and climate campaigners pointed at India for making demands that weakened the final agreement."India맥스카지노�s last-minute change to the language to phase down but not phase out coal is quite shocking,맥스카지노� said Australian climate scientist Bill Hare, who tracks world emission pledges for the science-based Climate Action Tracker. 맥스카지노�India has long been a blocker on climate action, but I have never seen it done so publicly.맥스카지노�Others approached the deal from a more positive perspective. In addition to the revised coal language, the Glasgow Climate Pact included enough financial incentives to almost satisfy poorer nations and solved a long-standing problem to pave the way for carbon trading.The agreement also says big carbon polluting nations have to come back and submit stronger emission-cutting pledges by the end of 2022.맥스카지노�It맥스카지노�s a good deal for the world,맥스카지노� U.S. climate envoy John Kerry told The Associated Press. 맥스카지노�It맥스카지노�s got a few problems, but it맥스카지노�s all in all a very good deal.맥스카지노�Before the India change, negotiators said the deal preserved, albeit barely, the overarching goal of limiting Earth's warming by the end of the century to 1.5 degrees. The world has already warmed 1.1 degrees Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit) compared to preindustrial times.Ahead of the Glasgow talks, the United Nations had set three criteria for success, and none of them were achieved. The U.N.맥스카지노�s criteria included pledges to cut carbon dioxide emissions in half by 2030, $100 billion in financial aid from rich nations to poor, and ensuring that half of that money went to helping the developing world adapt to the worst effects of climate change.맥스카지노�We did not achieve these goals at this conference,맥스카지노� Guterres said Saturday night. 맥스카지노�But we have some building blocks for progress."Negotiators Saturday used the word 맥스카지노�progress맥스카지노� more than 20 times, but rarely used the word 맥스카지노�success맥스카지노� and then mostly in that they맥스카지노�ve reached a conclusion, not about the details in the agreement. Conference President Alok Sharma said the deal drives 맥스카지노�progress on coal, cars, cash and trees맥스카지노�맥스카지노� and is 맥스카지노�something meaningful for our people and our planet.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�Environmental activists were measured in their not-quite-glowing assessments, issued before India맥스카지노�s last-minute change.맥스카지노�It맥스카지노�s meek, it맥스카지노�s weak and the 1.5 C goal is only just alive, but a signal has been sent that the era of coal is ending. And that matters,맥스카지노� said Greenpeace International Executive Director Jennifer Morgan, a veteran of the U.N. climate talks known as the Conferences of Parties.Former Irish President Mary Robinson, speaking for a group of retired leaders called The Elders, said the pact represents 맥스카지노�some progress, but nowhere near enough to avoid climate disaster... People will see this as a historically shameful dereliction of duty.맥스카지노�Next year맥스카지노�s talks are scheduled to take place in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. Dubai will host the meeting in 2023.___Aniruddha Ghosal, Karl Ritter and Ellen Knickmeyer contributed to this report.
