Kerry said climate change would remain a key focus of the annual economic and strategic dialogue, which got underway on Wednesday. America and China between them account for more than 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. "I want to underscore that when we make a decision...

But somehow I doubt it. There`s a reason that a satellite image of Hurricane Katrina highlighted the poster for An Inconvenient Truth, or that belief in man-made global warming tends to spike after extreme weather. Heat...
