The links only support parts of the narrative that I am making, for those who are interested about details or where I am coming from - they are not an obligatory read. As I explained, the purpose of this conference is to agree on the necessity for a common road-map, i.e. a step by step plan for curbing the greenhouse gas output. The real plan has to be worked out until 2015, with concrete figures and deadlines that the signatories will agree to try to meet. The purpose of the Durban conference is to agree that such a plan should be worked on, not to work this plan. That would be the purpose of a subsequent meeting, if it is ever decided that this should be done.
The BRICS countries also want to add one more agenda to this summit - the extension of the Kyoto protocol for another term, which may not be the best solution but it would be at least some basis to step on until the road-map is worked out.
I'm aware how complicated this may sound, all those meetings, negotiations, agreements... But there is just no other way, with all those countries, each with their economic interests. Balance is very hard to achieve.
