The Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change has ended without a consensus on the crucial issue of emission cut. The conference Chairman and Danish Prime Minister Lars Rasmuessen, however, said that the summit has decided to take note of a US-brokered deal with India and three other emerging economies. The announcement of the deal was made by US President Barack Obama after extended talks with the leaders of the 4 nations. Though the draft deal has not been disclosed yet it was expected to promise to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius of pre-industrial levels and peaking of global and national emissions at the earlies, among other things. It was also expected to call for transparency in emission cuts, mitigation targets and finance forms as the basis of the common approach. The objection of many developing countries to the deal was that it was legally non-binding and set no target for curbing carbon emissions. The dramatic twists and turns in the 12-day conference to combat global warning came after an extended all night plenary session. Unwilling to go empty-handed, US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh delayed their departures at night by several hours. Obama surprisingly walked into a meeting of the BASIC leaders and hammered out a legally non-binding political deal.
