　　U.S. President Barack Obama says the United States will urge emerging
economies to do more to address global warming at a high-level climate change
conference later this month in Durban, South Africa.President Obama told
reporters Wednesday during his visit to Australia that the Durban talks should
result in reduced carbon emissions, but warned that "advanced economies can't do
this alone."
        　　Mr. Obama said that emerging economies "like China and India" must also
"take seriously their responsibilities" in reducing emissions.President Obama
acknowledged that the U.S. has not been able to pass a cap-and-trade system
aimed at regulating pollution, but noted U.S. efforts at increasing fuel
efficiency and exploring clean energy options. Delegates from 193 countries at
the U.N.-sponsored talks, which begin on November 28, will seek to find a
compromise on a new international agreement on climate change.
