New York Times: Between the tumultuous breakdown in Copenhagen in 2009 and the cheers and bubbly in Paris on Saturday, climate change diplomacy underwent a grand metamorphosis. For more than two decades, the worlds variegated nations were impossibly trying to undertake a common (but differentiated) journey toward some grand top-down solution.

Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna tweeted that the pact was made "for our children." However,...

New York Times: The two-week United Nations climate conference outside Paris that drew to an end on Saturday focused on many of the physical dangers associated with climate change: extreme weather, severe drought, the warming of oceans, rain forest destruction and disruptions to the food supply.
