Scotsman.com News - Latest News - Climate Change Summit Ends with 'More Talks' Plan:
"A United Nations conference ended today with a vague plan for informal new talks on how to slow global warming, but without a US commitment to multilateral negotiations on next steps, including emissions controls.
"'The Americans reached a good agreement with the Europeans,' Argentine diplomat Raul Estrada Oyuela said of the plan, which he helped broker in long hours of late-night talks in Buenos Aires.
"Others described it as at best a small step to keep the multilateral process moving on climate change. 'It's a finger-hold, like hanging on by your nails,' said Michael Zammit Cutajar of Malta, a veteran climate negotiator."
