DUBAI (Reuters) -Negotiations for a climate deal spilled into overtime at the COP28 summit in Dubai on Wednesday, as nearly 200 countries sought to bridge divisions on the future role of fossil fuels — by far the most contentious issue. Many nations had criticised a deal draft released on Monday for failing to call for a "phase-out" of fossil fuels, which scientists say are by far the biggest source of the greenhouse gas emissions driving global warming. More than 100 countries ranging from the United States and the EU to tiny island nations like Samoa had pushed for the language but faced resistance from members of the OPEC oil producer group and its allies.
