DURBAN, South Africa — Tempers flared Wednesday over the glacial pace of progress in climate talks, with the European Union berating the United States and China.
“What is really frustrating is to see for the third time . . . that this U.N. conference is hijacked by the pingpong game between the U.S. and China,” said Jo Leinen, a leading environmental expert in the European Parliament.
Neither China nor the U.S. has agreed to new talks that would lead to a new, broader and legally binding treaty to reduce carbon emissions.
