"Ban: Climate Change Agreement 'Beyond Our Reach - For Now'" [1]
"DURBAN, South Africa -- United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told ministers and government leaders at the UN climate talks in Durban that while 'real progress' is possible at the talks, 'the ultimate goal of a comprehensive and binding climate change agreement may be beyond our reach - for now.' "
"'It would be difficult to overstate the gravity of this moment,' said the UN chief. 'Without exaggeration, we can say: the future of our planet is at stake - people's lives, the health of the global economy, the very survival of some nations.'"
