Climate agreement between the U.S. and China

A few years ago, in her inimitable style, Sarah Palin said, “How’s that hopey-changey thing working out for you?”

Now the #1 (China) and #2 (the U.S.) carbon polluters have reached an accord to cut the amount of their carbon emissions.  This agreement should lead to a new global accord on carbon emissions, and we may yet save the planet.

My own take is that the agreement doesn’t go far enough, but it is a start.  That “hopey-changey” thing is working out pretty well.
