Agreement reached on climate change report

International delegates have reached an agreement on the best ways to combat climate change, despite efforts by China to water down language on cutting destructive greenhouse gas emissions.

The closed-door debate in Bangkok, Thailand, over everything from nuclear power to the cost of cleaner energy, ran into the early hours with quibbling over wording. Consensus was eventually reached on a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations network of 2,000 scientists and delegates from more than 120 nations.
