UN Talks on Global Warming Report

Bloomberg.com: Worldwide: "UN Talks on Global Warming Report End With `Very Good Document'

By Alex Morales
April 6 (Bloomberg) -- United Nations negotiations over a global warming report ended today after delegates completed discussions of how human activities are bringing climate change.
Discussions by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, were scheduled to end yesterday in Brussels. The group is examining the effects of global warming and ways in which humans can adapt to changes. At 10:15 a.m. local time, IPCC Chairman Rajendra Pachauri told reporters a document was agreed upon after a ``marathon'' session as scientists and political envoys debated the text's wording, including degrees of confidence associated with the effect of climate change.
``I'm still wearing the suit I wore yesterday morning, and I've been sitting in a chair all night'' Pachauri said, ``What we have in the end is a very good document.'' The completed summary wasn't immediately made available to reporters. "
