Saudi Arabia accused of trying to wreck Paris climate deal

One of the world's largest oil producers is getting in the way of a deal and making implausible objections, say delegates and campaigners

Saudi Arabia stood accused on Tuesday of trying to wreck the Paris climate summit in order to protect its future as one of the world's largest oil producers.

As the talks entered the home stretch, developing country negotiators and campaigners became increasingly vocal in their complaints that the kingdom was getting in the way of a deal.
