China\u2019s most senior climate change<\/a> official surprised a summit in India when he questioned whether global warming<\/a> is caused by carbon gas emissions and said Beijing is keeping an \u201copen mind\u201d.<\/p>\n

Xie Zhenhua was speaking at a summit between the developing world\u2019s most powerful countries, India, Brazil, South Africa and China, which is now the largest emitter of carbon dioxide, the gas believed to be responsible for climate change<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The four countries have joined forces to intensify pressure on the United States and Europe to fulfil promises to cut their emissions and give more than $10 billion (\u00a36.2 billion) to those countries worst affected by climate change<\/a> by the end of this year.<\/p>\n

Environment ministers from the four countries voiced their frustration at the US<\/a> for failing to lead the way with carbon emission reductions despite being responsible for much of the emissions most scientists believe to be the cause of global warming<\/a>.<\/p>\n
