WARSAW - Two weeks of United Nations climate talks ended Saturday with a pair of last-minute deals keeping alive the hope that a global effort can ward off a ruinous rise in temperatures. Conflicts between rich nations, led by the United States and European Union, and developing nations, led by China, India and Brazil, had stalled progress and threatened to scuttle the conference altogether. The deal Saturday came less than a year before a "Climate summit" of leaders called by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon for September in New York, where world leaders will be asked to show progress on cutting emissions in the full glare of the United States and the world news media. An article in some editions on Sunday about two last-minute deals reached at the conclusion of United Nations climate talks in Warsaw gave an incorrect middle initial for the American climate envoy.
