NO SUCCESSOR TO KYOTO LIKELY

This report tells us why no meaningful agreement will be reached. The major sticking point is simple - the so-called "develoing nations such as China and India refuse to subject themselves to reducing their emissions, and the USA, Canada, New Zealand and others refuse to take part in an agreement that does not include them. A classic impasse which looks insoluble. Without all major industrial nations taking part CO2 emission cuts cannot happen.
