Discord at Durban climate-change summit and the future of the
Kyoto Protocol The UN climate-change summit opened in disarray
on Monday after violent storms, the late arrival of the host
president and a rift among some of the world’s biggest
polluters. As delegates arrived in Durban in South Africa on
Sunday, heavy rain waterlogged parts of the venue and swept away
tin shacks on the outskirts of the city, killing eight people.
