The first UN climate talks for the year entered its final stage on Friday in Bangkok with negotiators still trying issued feuds between rich and poor countries to trust a hammer.
The four days of talks one had main objective of sorting out an agenda for the rest of the year negotiations, which would lay the foundations for agreements in November at an annual UN climate summit in South Africa seemingly modest.
But delegates said the agenda not by early Friday, with a central point, the dispute had decided that must perform a demand of many poorer countries for a greater focus on actions developed countries, to combat global warming.
"Everyone is a little bit surprised, we the agenda of the talks stall for this long expected," said France's Ambassador for climate change negotiations, Serge Lepeltier, AFP.
Delegate a compromise said, even until the end of the talks on Friday night has been achieved, a way to the end-of year Summit would set in Durban.
But they said that the spirit of cooperation between developed and developing countries, which in December to breakthroughs in the last annual Summit in the town of Mexican resort Cancun led in Bangkok not nearly was so strong.
"This year will be more difficult and Durban are more difficult than Cancun," said Lepeltier.
"The power struggle is back."
The talks began on Tuesday with poor countries require that range, a second round of the legally binding greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments under one updated Kyoto Protocol agree to.
Developing countries, including China, would not commit, reducing emissions under the Kyoto Protocol and that most of them maintain that this should remain the case.
The first round of the obligations are due to 2012, is running, but some richer countries have said, you sign to a second phase, since no major polluter, the United States and China, are.
The United States never ratified the Kyoto Protocol and its Messenger climate have repeated this week that the country has no intention of signing up.
On Thursday, the US House of representatives approved a Bill in combating the environmental protection agency (EPA) from regulating greenhouse gas emissions for global warming blamed.
255-172 Votes in the Republican occupied Chamber came a day after the Democratic-led Senate rejected this step, moves so that it most unlikely legislators actually curb EPA regulatory powers on.
In 2009, the U.S. House of representatives approved a CAP-and-trade bill to combat climate change, but never approved such a measure of the Senate.
While the talks Bangkok has some of the richer countries driven have at the heart of this year's negotiations primarily on the more modest agreement reached in Cancun last year advance.
That, if only the Cancun agreement be implemented by end of 2012, Rich Nations not to reach agreement on legally binding cuts in emissions and the Kyoto Protocol tar sands will have largely say out in the but poorer nations.
The Cancun Convention saw all Nations pledge "urgent action" to keep temperatures from rising no more than two degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.
A Green climate fund was established, changing from 2020 channel $100 billion annually to help from rich countries to poor, which deal with them with climate.
But many of the most difficult issues were set aside in Cancun because Nations were trying to rebuild trust and revive UN climate talks, after a near collapse in the process 12 months earlier at a Summit in Copenhagen.
