Kerry`s visit with Chinese leaders Saturday, the two nations quietly joined in a forward-leaning "joint statement" calling for more action by global leaders to get tough in response to "climate change."

Kennebec Journal: Finally, a nation that is contributing heavily to climate change is taking a major step to reduce its emissions.

InsideClimate: China and the United States, the world's two largest economies, are responsible for emitting nearly half the planet's carbon dioxide emissions. China overtook the United States in 2006 as the world's biggest CO2 polluter due to its hardening coal addiction. Per capita, however, America's carbon footprint is far bigger. Both countries still have large fleets of coal plants and growing, but relatively tiny, renewable electricity sectors. Both have goals for lowering their global warming emissions--though...
