Obama: Time is running out for climate change deal

US President Barack Obama raced from one impromptu meeting to another and made an animated plea for compromise at the climate change summit in Copenhagen today, making plain his frustration over the difficulty of pushing world leaders to settle on a plan to combat global warming.

“We are running short on time,” he told the 193-nation summit as the clock was running out on its final day. “There has to be movement on all sides.”
