摘要

As 12 days of United Nations-sponsored climate change talks came to a close Oct. 9, advocates praised progress on a number of technical and secondary issues, but rich and poor countries remained divided over the central issues of financing for climate change initiatives and mandatory reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions.rnThe reality of domestic politics also came to the fore, as Jonathan Pershing, the U.S. deputy special envoy for climate change and head of the U.S. delegation in Bangkok, warned that the United States may not sign an international agreement until domestic legislation on climate change currently working its way through Congress becomes law.rn"It would be very difficult for the U.S. to commit to a specific number until there is action from Congress," Pershing said. "That does not mean we cannot participate in these forums, and that does not mean an agreement in Congress won't come before Copenhagen. But until there is an agreement, we cannot agree to a final outcome."
