\nEnding a two-day meeting in Norway, the council put off — until its next meeting in 2011 — consideration of requests by China, South Korea, Italy and the European Commission for wider involvement in the organisation.

Soot is caused by diesel fumes, forest fires and grass burnt by farmers. Darkened by soot, ice soaks up more heat, which accelerates climate change stoked by carbon dioxide. Technology to clean up soot emissions is cheap and easily available.<\/span><\/p>\n
