KATOWICE, Poland, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Nearly 200 nations overcame political divisions on Saturday to agree on rules for implementing a landmark global climate deal but critics say itis not ambitious enough to prevent the dangerous effects of global warming. Before the talks started, many expected that the deal would not be as robust as is needed. The unity which underpinned the Paris talks has fragmented and U.S. President Donald Trump intends to pull his country - one of the world’s biggestemitters - out of the pact. “The majority of the rulebook for the Paris Agreement has been created, which is something to be thankful for,” said Mohamed Adow, international climate lead at Christian Aid. “The challenges will be with some of the bigger players in terms of stepping up to their responsibilities and what is required to truly operationalise the Paris Agreement,” he added.
