LE BOURGET,
France — After almost two weeks of marathon negotiations, the lines for
food and coffee on Friday night snaked through the temporary tent city here
that has been home to the global climate talks. People made final bets in a
five-euro pool on the precise hour the talks might conclude.
Others, needing to recharge for the final stretch of
negotiations, jockeyed for spots on couches in the lounges.
The goal here is a daunting one: to get 195 countries plus
the European Union to agree, for the first time, on a deal that would start
reducing the risks of climate change by cutting their use of fossil fuels that
create dangerous greenhouse gas emissions.
