The second week of climate talks is continuing in Copenhagen, with a dramatic walk out by 135 developing countries around noon on Monday.
The main session talks were suspended following protests that were led by African countries, accusing developed countries of trying to 'wreck' the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol places emissions reduction targets on developed countries but imposes no such limits on developing countries.
Talks have now resolved the impasse and the countries have returned to negotiations, however time has been lost. The next few days are sure to be frantic ones for negotiators as they try to resolve a long list of technical issues before more than 110 world leaders arrive in Copenhagen later this week to close the Conference.
