The United States said on Monday it would seek a new global deal to fight climate change after Australia's move to ratify the Kyoto Protocol isolated it as the only developed nation outside the current UN pact.
"We're not here to be a roadblock," US delegation leader Harlan Watson said on the opening day of the meeting of almost 190 nations in Bali, seeking to agree a roadmap to work out a successor to Kyoto which runs to 2012.
Meanwhile, Australia's new Prime Minister Kevin Rudd took the oath of office on Monday and immediately signed documents to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, ending his country's decade of opposition to the global climate agreement.
