USA Today: Delegates from 195 countries approved on Saturday a historic climate accord that seeks to slow the rise of greenhouse gasses blamed for putting Earth on a dangerous warming path. Called the Paris Agreement, the document is the result of five sets of grueling negotiations this year. It seeks to limit rising temperatures to within 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) compared to pre-industrial levels through the year 2100. It also keeps the door open to a more ambitious 1.5-degree (2.7 degrees...

Guardian: Each time the Seychelles roving ambassador for climate change returns home to the islands, he notices new clumsy piles of rocks disfiguring the beaches.

Earlier, key blocs, including the G77 group of developing countries, and nations such as China and India said they supported the proposals.

Final climate change deal keeps emissions in check, if it sticks

Engadget: After weeks of work, the United Nations is on the cusp of reaching a deal to prevent climate change... hopefully. A just-published final draft agreement sets some clear targets that include a hefty amount of cooperation. The deal would limit the global temperature increase to "well below" 2 Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and reach a balance in greenhouse gas emissions (that is, as many offsets as there are emitters) by the second half of this century. There would be a progress review every...
