“This is a major milestone in the U.S.-China relationship, and it shows what´s possible when we work together on an urgent global challenge. This is why I´m proud of this historical agreement"“” said President Obama on the U.S. and China's new commitments to cut carbon pollution.
"This is a major milestone in the U.S.-China relationship," Obama said, with Xi Jinping at his side. "It shows what's possible when we work together on an urgent global challenge."The two largest polluters in the world, China and the USA announced a historic agreement. The two countries reach a global rate of 45% of greenhouse gas emissions.
This ad for maturities in 2020 and 2030, was described as “historic“ by the US President, Barack Obama. The agreement, is obtained at the end of a long secret negotiations between the two countries for nine months, and the two heads of state have raised their glasses on November 11 at the so prestigious Palace of Zhongnanhai in Beijing (China). This agreement comes in several steps:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1- The US, agreed to reduce their CO2 emissions by 26-28% by 2025. China meanwhile is committed to a reduction, or rather the breaking or not to increase, thanks "clean energy" such as solar, hydro, 2030. Suffice to say, that these measures are timely and for these two large countries, if polluted by carbon emissions associated with plants, motor vehicles, whose effects are becoming increasingly catastrophic. According to experts, China would be short of drinking water in 2050 because of water issues polluted by toxic substances, mostly in megacities.------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2- The next step will be harder to achieve but necessary through a transition to low-carbon economies to limit warming to 2 °.
This implies abandoning coal plants, which nevertheless remains the primary source of energy in China (1st producer in the world, the US 2nd, China and Russia 3rd) and hydrocarbons such as oil and return to other clean energy.

The works started already from now targets and the conditions of finalizing such agreements on reductions in carbon emissions, among other. Laurent Fabius, said about this historic agreement, moreover "This decision should encourage all countries to engage effectively against climate change." Especially since the transition energies have been proven to create jobs and such as exploitation of shale gas, even if it must go through an increase in energy prices for consumers.
The former President of the French Republic in 2002 when the global meeting in Johannesburg on climate already marked by his alarmist "The House burns and instead of that we look elsewhere." His prediction was already a warning signal about the climate change.
A decade later, the presidents of the two greatest Powers in the world-have finally decided to react as firefighters a step towards each other on behalf of the survival of the planet and the catastrophic consequences of extreme climate change that would be fatal to humanity.
Al Gore, (Former US Vice President), now chairman of Climate Reality Project said about this historical agreement between China and the US, it is « A Signal of Groundbreaking Progress ».
