Powerful polluting nations were willing to sacrifice the low-lying islands to rising seas rather than risk the economic growth that fuels their lifestyles, Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama said. He said the UN-sponsored COP 21 talks appeared set to become an excuse for wealthy nations to pay lip-service to climate...
