China pledged today to increase its efforts to limit "greenhouse" gases, and said that Premier Wen Jiabao would attend the Copenhagen climate summit next month. The announcements came a day after President Obama said he would join the conference and unveiled a provisional target to reduce carbon emissions in the United States.The combination of moves creates a glimmer of optimism that the Dec. 7-18 climate talks will bring nations closer to meaningful agreements on emission cuts -- if not next month, then sometime in the near future.
Note EU-Digest: Like with the US,the question is not what a country pledges, but what they sign for.
