Excerpt:

The top U.S. envoy to U.N. climate talks is challenging China's demand for favorable treatment in carbon emissions, rejecting the current division between rich and poor countries for a future treaty. In his first remarks at the climate talks in Doha, Qatar, Todd Stern said Monday the planned agreement, set to be adopted in 2015, must be based on "real-world" considerations, not "an ideology that says we're going to draw a line down the middle of the world." Beijing wants to keep a division between developed and developing nations, setting out different responsibilities to cut emissions. China notes that despite its roaring growth, millions of Chinese still live in poverty, and emission limits would limit its economic expansion. Stern acknowledged it would be "enormously challenging" to resolve that dispute.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
