NUSA DUA, Indonesia (Reuters) - Chances that developing
nations such as China would agree to cut greenhouse gas
emissions receded on Friday as U.N. talks inched forward in
seeking a new world pact by 2009 to fight global warming.
"Nothing's been ruled out," said Yvo de Boer, head of the
U.N. Climate Change Secretariat at the December 3-14 talks
among 190 nations in a luxury beach resort in Bali, Indonesia.
"Binding commitments for developing countries are not off
the table but are crawling towards the edge," he said of the
possibility that developing nations would agree to join many
rich nations in capping greenhouse gas emissions.

and India, which want to be paid to take such effort.
