Small Pacific islands nations at risk from rising sea levels lambasted Australia...
FUNAFUTI, Tuvalu - Small Pacific islands nations at risk from rising sea levels lambasted Australia on Friday after it blocked moves at a regional forum to set down tough policies to combat climate change.
The final document encouraged policies to limit temperature rises to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and called for an immediate halt to coal mining. But it also said member states could ignore any measures they opposed. After being unable find a consensus, host nation Tuvalu made it clear that Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, whose strong backing of a controversial new coal mine was a key factor in his recent election victory, was central to the dispute.
