Durban climate talks open

DURBAN, South Africa - An opening ceremony is held as delegates from nearly 200 countries started annual talks in Durban, South Africa, on Nov. 28, 2011, to discuss the fight against climate change, with differences remaining between rich and developing countries. The biggest issue facing the 17th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP17, is how to avoid a so-called blank period following the expiration in December 2012 of current binding targets for developed countries' greenhouse gas emissions.
