Montreal Gazette: The climate-change pact reached this week between the United States and China is a game-changer in international environmental politics that puts pressure on Canada to get serious about reducing emissions. As the world`s two biggest economies, the U.S. and China are also its two largest greenhouse gas producers, together accounting for 40 per cent of global emissions.

Associated Press: This week's China-U.S. climate agreement between the world's top two polluting countries puts pressure on India, No. 3 on the list, to become more energy efficient and should encourage investment in renewable energy. But the pact is also a relief for India because it acknowledges the long-held view among developing economies that industrialized nations have been emitting heat-trapping gases for many more decades and so should shoulder more of the burden for tackling climate change. Emerging economies...

Associated Press: Don't expect the landmark U.S.-China climate change agreement to nudge the world's rising thermostat downward much on its own, scientists say. While they hail it as a start, experts who study heat-trapping carbon dioxide don't see the deal, announced Wednesday in Beijing, making significant progress without other countries joining in. The math shows that even with the agreement, the globe is still rushing toward another 2-degree temperature rise -- a level that world leaders have pledged to...

IEA Warns Fossil Fuel Trends Dire On Eve Climate Pact

Climate Central: The odds that any climate change agreement among the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitters will succeed became a little greater on Tuesday as China and the U.S. committed to slash carbon pollution in the coming decades. It was a critical move because the world's thirst for fossil fuels continues unabated even as wind, solar and other low-carbon energy sources are coming into their prime. The largest transformation in how people use energy across the globe by 2040 will be in the electric power...
