Havana - Fidel Castro says an agreement forged at the UN climate conference in Copenhagen is "undemocratic" and calls President Barack Obama's speech there "misleading".

The ailing former Cuban president blasted a US-brokered deal that urges major polluters to make deeper emissions cuts - but does not require it.

Castro claimed in one of his regular "Reflections" published on Sunday that only industrialised nations could speak at the summit, while emerging and poor nations only had the right to listen.

Meanwhile, Bolivian President Evo Morales said on Sunday that he would organise an alternate climate conference. Morales urged the world to mobilise against the failure of the Copenhagen summit, which ended on Saturday after two weeks of political bickering.
