EU leaders on Friday reached an agreement to work for carbon neutrality by 2050 -- but without the agreement of coal-hungry Poland.

"Agreement on climate neutrality by 2050 EUCO reaches a deal on this important goal," EU Council President Charles Michel tweeted. Two EU diplomats said Poland refused to go along with the accord.
