Poor nations want rich nations to accept deep, mandatory carbon cuts, and pay tens of billions of dollars in aid to help developing countries combat global warming.

Here's one reason to steel your patience: Robert McDonald, a Scottish traveler who was stuck aboard a Delta flight for more than two-and-half hours at New York City's JFK airport on March 31, had apparently lost his cool. In an attempt to deplane, McDonald allegedly yanked open the aircraft's emergency exit door while the plane was on the tarmac. The crew says it stopped him from...
