The UN Climate Change Conference in Lima, Peru, slated to end its deliberations Friday, has been extended an additional day in a quest to reach an agreement that thus far has been stalemated. The deadlock between wealthy and poor nations stems from the desire of the industrialized countries to eliminate differentiated responsibilities for tackling the issue of carbon emissions. The developing nations are asking for funding from richer countries to adjust to a low-carbon economy. teleSUR
