California’s leading example on climate change helped inspire US-China agreement by jennifer schlueter Last Wednesday, President Barack Obama and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jingping have agreed on drastically fighting climate change by capping greenhouse gases. By 2025, the Unites States wants to cut its harmful emissions below 2005 levels to 26-28%, as AlterNet reports. Instead of only promising to decrease the rapid growth rate of its emissions, China now “has agreed to cap its output by 2030 or earlier if possible,” according to AlterNet.

I am proud we can announce a historic agreement. I commend President Xi, his team and the Chinese government for their making to slow, peak and then reverse China’s carbon emissions.”
