This Engineering News article informs us how we (South Africa) together with other G77 members recently walked out of a meeting during UN's marathon Climate Change Talks taking place in Bangkok. Accusations were being raised that "rich nations are trying to kill off Kyoto, which binds 37 industrialised nations to emissions targets during its 2008-12 first commitment period." The article also states: "The question negotiators are wrestling with is whether to extend Kyoto into a second commitment period from 2013, amend the pact or create a new one, a step many developing nations resist."
