Seems the US is blocking the talks so there is little success.
NUSA DUA, Indonesia, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Lack of U.S. ambition is the "one main blocking issue" preventing 190 nations in Bali from launching negotiations on a global climate pact to succeed the Kyoto Protocol from 2013, the EU said on Thursday.
The Dec. 3-14 talks are finely balanced on what range of emissions cuts rich countries should aspire to guide them in more detailed negotiations over the next two years on individual national emissions targets.
In addition, poor nations want to know how much money rich countries will pay them to help adapt to climate change already happening and to cut their greenhouse gas emissions.
