China and India, the developing nations with the highest carbon-dioxide emissions, want U.S. President- elect Barack Obama to demonstrate more commitment in tackling climate change, delegates at United Nations talks in Poland said.
Obama has pledged to bring U.S. output of greenhouse-gas emissions back to 1990 levels by 2020. That's still above the limit the world's biggest economy would have been required to meet by 2012 under the Kyoto Protocol, a global warming treaty the U.S. never ratified. It's also short of a European Union pledge to cut the gases 20 percent from 1990 levels by 2020.
