SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt: United Nations climate talks were thrown into disarray on Saturday as the European Union rejected a proposal by host country Egypt for lacking ambition on emissions cuts and warned it would rather leave with no deal than a bad one.

Nearly 200 countries' representatives have gathered at the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Egypt for two weeks with the aim of driving forward action on climate change as the world faces a worsening onslaught of weather extremes.
