Post: "Whatever intentions have been declared by US and China is a beginning but it is not as ambitious as people wanted it to be," Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar told reporters in the national capital when he was asked to comment on the deal reached earlier this week.

Globe and Mail: After a domestic drubbing at home, where disenchanted voters made clear they had heard enough of his clarion call for "hope and change," U.S. President Barack Obama scored a rare foreign-policy triumph in the sweeping deal with China to slash greenhouse gas emissions. The pact may prove historic. It signals the world's sole superpower regards China as a key partner in global leadership rather than just one among several great powers. It provides the platform for Mr. Obama to carve out a...
