SciDevNet: A deal to reduce global emissions and help the world adapt to climate change was signed in Paris on 12 December -- with earlier concerns that science would be ignored allayed by new promises. The agreement, signed by 195 countries, states the "aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible'. Nations will cut their emissions "rapidly' and "in accordance with best available science' to reach a "balance' between manmade emissions and carbon removals from the atmosphere...

Paris accord is a big win for Obama, even as climate dangers still loom

Washington Post: On an unseasonably mild December day in Washington, President Obama had reason to bask in the sun. Across the Atlantic, international climate negotiators completed an agreement that owed much of its success to the willingness of the U.S. president to take on both congressional Republicans and fossil-fuel-industry executives on an issue that consistently ranks among the lowest priorities for American voters. Although the international agreement reached in Paris on Saturday still leaves the world...
Climate accord doesn't end in Paris

USA Today: he pledges made so far arent nearly enough to meet the Paris target of keeping the planet well below 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit of warming.

In the best case scenario, the Paris accord will evolve like the competition between countries, and increasingly across regions, to sign new free trade agreements. Successive rounds of negotiations take on their...

Reuters: For the most part, big business wanted one thing from the climate accord in Paris on Saturday: a price on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. While on the surface their hopes were dashed, looking deeper may give them cause for hope. Multinational companies from oil giant BP to consumer products maker Unilever have called for a globally agreed way of pricing emissions of CO2 - the gas most widely blamed for global warming - to create an incentive for power plants and factories to shift to cleaner forms...
Paris pact on climate change: Whats fear got to do with it?

Monitor: Fear is not a good adviser, says German leader Angela Merkel. She offered that advice recently about a fear in Europe of Muslim migrants. But she might as well have been talking about global warming. Take the climate-change accord reached Dec. 12 by every nation on Earth. It certainly was driven by heightened concerns about potential threats from a rise in global temperatures. But after 23 years of trying to achieve a pact for universal action, negotiators finally found a way to an agreement beyond...
