U.S. rejects developing nations' proposal

Associated Press

BALI, Indonesia — The United States rejected Saturday a proposal by developing nations to clarify their responsibilities on controlling greenhouse gas emissions, further blocking agreement on a plan to launch negotiations for a new global warming pact.

"We are not prepared to accept this formulation at this time," said Paula Dobriansky, head of the American delegation to the U.N. climate conference in Bali, Indonesia.

The negotiations snagged early Saturday over demands by developing nations that their need for technological help from rich nations and other issues receive greater recognition in the document.
