U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged all nations to stop arguing about who’s responsible for climate change and start cutting emissions, warning that the world was “on a course leading to tragedy.”
Kerry swept into United Nations-sponsored talks in Lima yesterday and said the U.S. would do its part, yet it couldn’t act alone to rein in global-warming pollution. The speech was delivered as delegates from more than 190 countries tried to craft a deal that would require developing nations like China and India to limit their emissions for the first time.
