UN forum extends Kyoto Protocol to 2020

Qatar - Independent Maghreb Press Agency - Delegates at the UN climate talks underway in Qatar have agreed to extend the Kyoto Protocol until 2020, avoiding a major new setback. 
The deal, agreed by nearly 200 nations, keeps the protocol alive as the only legally binding plan for combating global warming. However, it only covers developed nations whose share of world greenhouse gas emissions is less than 15%.
