The world’s three biggest polluters joined in opposing a European Union proposal for talks aimed at drawing up a new climate treaty, dimming the chances of extending the Kyoto Protocol limiting greenhouse gases.
J.M. Mauskar, the Indian government official leading his nation’s delegation at United Nations climate talks, rejected the EU plan as a “quid-pro-quo.” The EU said it would agree to extend Kyoto’s restrictions only if all nations made promises to cut fossil fuel burning.
