The AP is also reporting today that Kerry has "zipped in and out of meetings" and is "trying to iron out differences with developing countries such as India," even as the COP-21 summit drags on an additional day. Kerry also said he's "hopeful" for an accord and has been frantically working behind the scenes to reach compromises even as divisions grown and threaten to derail a final agreement. Climate commando Kerry, who spoke to reporters Friday outside of the summit's elegant location, said "There was a lot of progress made last night, a long night, but still a couple of very difficult issues that we're working on." He refused to say what those issues are, but insiders note that both India and China are two enormous stumbling blocks Kerry has to overcome. Scheduled to end today, the summit has dragged on another day, with the goal of a final global warming 'accord' Saturday morning and signed by all delegates Saturday afternoon.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_kerry.jpg
