Talks have been suspended at the Copenhagen climate change summit after developing countries walked out.
The main sessions of the UN conference were halted after the protest, which was led by African countries and backed by the G77 group of developing nations.
They accused developed countries of trying to back out of the Kyoto Protocol on carbon emissions.
"This is a walkout over process and form, not a walkout over substance, and that's regrettable," Australian climate change minister Penny Wong said of the action.
The Kyoto treaty ties the rich countries - but not developing c

It looks as though a NWO might be a ways off.

Well not so much, it is already here, it is having what would be referred too as "growing pangs".
I doubt it will ever come to fruition in the way that it is spun for the simple fact that a single group of people would have overthrow the governments of all the worlds. Which isn't going to happen.

It's not exactly a "Global Government" if they don't have control over all countries is it? Especially when a lot of those countries have valuable resources that the NWO will need.

It is reported, from a few on the ground, Africa wanted more finance from the richer nations - without having to offer anything in return. Better governance, economic development, etc.
Delegations were angry at what they saw as moves by the Danish host government to sideline talks on more emission cuts under the Kyoto Protocol.
As news spread around the conference centre, activists chanted "We stand with Africa - Kyoto targets now".
But talks between the parties were expected to resume in the afternoon and informal discussions continue.
Blocs representing poor countries vulnerable to climate change have been adamant that rich nations must commit to emission cuts beyond 2012 under the Kyoto Protocol.
But the EU and the developed world in general has promoted the idea of an entirely new agreement, replacing the protocol.
Developing countries fear they would lose many of the gains they made when the Kyoto agreement was signed in 1997.
They point out that the Kyoto Protocol is the only international legally binding instrument that has curbed carbon emissions, and also that it contains functioning mechanisms for bringing development benefits to poor countries such as money for investment in clean energy projects.
What Chettiar and Schwartz propose is nothing less than a new era of executive government in which the President establishes a mega-Kyoto system if Congress drags its feet:
If Congress fails to act, President Obama has the power under the Clean Air Act to adopt a cap-and-trade system that auctions greenhouse gas allowances. President Obama also has the power under the Clean Air Act to implement an executive agreement at the international level, rendering Senate approval of a climate treaty unnecessary. (p. vii)
