With China demanding concessions from Western countries, the conference is threatening to fracture. Country representatives have come to consensus on only 170 words out of 1,300 in a draft agreement of a &#8220;shared vision&#8221; on climate change. Meanwhile, a new complicating factor in the discussion is the revelation from one of the secret US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks, which shows how American diplomats used threats and promises and even engaged in espionage to garner support for the agreement at last year&#8217;s conference in Copenhagen. Meanwhile on the streets outside the conference the protests by climate activists have been more subdued than at Copenhagen. Over the weekend 20 activists from the Sierra Club wearing national flags to represent negotiating nations, dug holes in the sandy Canc\u00fan beach to literally and symbolically bury their heads. Additionally, protesters from developing nations, organized by Jubilee South marched outside the talks demanding that the World Bank be excluded from climate financing. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: May Boeve, US Campaign Director, 350.org<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Find out more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.350.org\">www.350.org<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/earth.350.org\">earth.350.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the second week of the UN-sponsored climate talks in Canc\u00fan get underway this week, environment ministers and officials from around the world joined in the negotiations.
