Tampa Tribune: President Barack Obama claims the international community met the moment by agreeing to a climate change accord last weekend in Paris.

If, in fact, the accord marks a true shift away from dirty fossil fuels like coal and oil, people from South Texas to South Philadelphia should expect to live longer, higher-quality lives.
