The G-8 Summit of the 8 most powerful leaders in the developed world met for three days to discuss a number of global items, and one in particular was climate change. Obama and others could not come to an agreement over reducing the amount of carbon emissions, and found themselves in a gridlock. Each country had their own agendas to deal with and struggled to agree on a standard goal in combating climate change.
Further, the unrest in China called for the Chinese leader to return home to attend the domestic concerns of his country, which made the possibility of further talks almost impossible. China is a huge player in this game and without their full participation, coming to a G-8 agreement will be put on hold.
