UN CLIMATE CONFERENCE CONCLUDES WITH AGREEMENT THAT WEATHER IN BALI IS WONDERFUL

As a United Nations global warming conference entered the final stretch Tuesday on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, the United States and the European Union remained deadlocked on whether countries should commit now to including specific cuts in climate-warming emissions in a new agreement that would not be fully negototiated for at least two more years.  The conference, however, was not at a complete dead-lock, as representatives from all member nations agreed that, indeed, the weather in Bali was wonderful.  While progress on more substantive issues appears elusive, all hope is not lost as negotiations on climate control essential to the future health of the planet are set to continue next year at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.
