GLASGOW (Reuters) - Government representatives at the U.N. climate conference in Glasgow on Thursday will turn their focus to tackling the global economy's addiction to fossil fuels with a raft of new pledges aimed at curbing production and use of oil, gas and coal.
Planned announcements are meant to help speed a transition to cleaner forms of energy that scientists and world leaders say are needed quickly to slash greenhouse gas emissions and avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
