BBC: UN climate talks in Poland have ended with delegates reaching a compromise on how to fight global warming. After 30 hours of deadlock, they approved a pathway to a new global climate treaty in Paris in 2015. The agreement was achieved after a series of last minute compromises often involving single words in draft texts.

Deutsche-Welle: At UN talks originally scheduled to end on Friday, negotiators reached consensus Saturday for the foundations for an ambitious global climate pact, modifying wording in a document that had threatened to derail talks in Warsaw. China, the world's biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, and India (No. 4) had clashed with the US (No. 2) and other countries earlier Saturday over the wording of draft decisions with guidelines on when countries should present commitments for a new pact to fight climate change....
