A standoff between countries that want a dramatic phase-out of planet-warming fossil fuels and those that don t pushed a critical climate summit officially into overtime Tuesday. Organizers were about to float another try at compromise. The United Nations-led summit known as COP28 was supposed to end Tuesday afternoon after nearly two weeks of speeches, demonstrations and negotiations. But the climate talks almost always run long, and negotiators were still meeting late Tuesday as workers nearby dismantled signs and set up scaffolding in preparation for the venue s next event. Monday s release of a draft agreement angered countries that insist on a commitment for the rapid phase-out of coal, oil and gas.
