http://www.gwm-tv.com - Brazil has been asked by the UN for its crucial assistance to try to break the deadlock in stalled Kyoto Protocol extension talks, emphasising its growing stature on the world stage.
Mexico, which is currently hosting the talks, has asked Brazil to work with the UK on what is currently emerging to be the biggest international schism ever in the pact, which obliges nearly 40 developed nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions until 2012.
Japan, Russia and Canada have said that they will not sign an extension to the deal and want a new, broader, more binding treaty to be established.
