KYOTO, Japan: One day left for the 160 nations gathered at the climate change conference to cut the Gordian knot of global warming, and the U.S. is keeping its greenhouse gas treaty bottom line close to its chest. "We are close to a solution," claimed the Argentine chairman Raul Estrada, who is preparing a draft agreement for industrial nations ? but that doesn't jibe with China?s intention to nix anything that inhibits its economic growth.
