DURBAN, South Africa (AP) — The U.N.'s top climate official said Sunday she expects governments to make a long-delayed decision on whether industrial countries should make further commitments to reduce emissions of climate-changing greenhouse gases.
Amid fresh warnings of climate-related disasters in the future, delegates from about 190 countries were gathering in Durban for a two-week conference beginning Monday. They hope to break deadlocks on how to curb emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
Christiana Figueres, head of the U.N. climate secretariat, said the stakes for the negotiations are high, underscored by new scientific studies.
Under discussion was "nothing short of the most compelling energy, industrial, behavioral revolution that humanity has ever seen," she said.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a hero of the movement that ended apartheid in South Africa, led a rally at a rugby stadium later Sunday urging negotiators to be more ambitious during what were expected to be difficult talks. Unseasonably cold, windy weather kept the crowd to a few hundred spectators.

Yes we must reduce CO2 emissions. The pecentage of CO2 in the earths atmosphere is 0.04% which you can call zero point zero which is nothing, and as we know with liberals, when something is a non-issue, that means it needs to be an issue.
We need UN reduction, not CO2 reduction.
Now even the AP makes fun of these people.
These scumbags just keep pushing ahead with their scam regardless of the fact that the scam has been thoroughly exposed - - twice now! - - through email dumps of the the “scientists” who have attempted to give the scam “scientific” cover.
Is that called “hutzpah”?
Why the urgency with climate change? These people haven’t noticed the planet is broke and is not exactly in a position to spend what it would take to reduce CO2 emissions by even infinitesimal amounts. That’s how much these UN bureaucrats and Green special interest groups are out of touch with reality.
Its taken on a life of its own just like with Frankenstein. Useless and derelict bureaucracies are truly dangerous. We need to choke off the funding to the “climate change” monster before it devours us.
