WHAT THEY'RE SAYING 12-20

After months of calls to "seal the deal" at the climate change talks in Copenhagen, the session ended with a whimper, and not a bang. U.S. President Barack Obama hammered out an understanding without specifics along with China, India, South Africa and Brazil . The chairman of the Group of 77 denounced the accord as the "worst in history." Sudan's representative even compared it to the Holocaust, which some say drove others to support it. Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela blocked formal adoption, which some say highlights the weakness of the UN's consensus process.
