 BALI, Indonesia (AP) - In the face of U.S. opposition, the U.N. chief said Wednesday that guidelines on greenhouse gas emissions cuts favored by Europe and developing countries may be "too ambitious" to include in a final statement on climate change.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's words strengthen the U.S.-led drive to remove the call for rich nations to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 from the text of an international statement on climate change.
Drafts of a final statement at a U.N. global warming conference this week have included a call for industrialized countries to consider cutting emissions blamed for rising temperatures by between 25 percent and 40 percent by 2020.
