US, China Still Far Apart on How to Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions

摘要

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the US and China have found some common ground on tackling climate change but that the two sides are still far apart in their visions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Pelosi and a bipartisan Congressional delegation traveled to Beijing last week to let Chinese officials know how serious the US is about combating climate change. They also wanted to find out how China plans to address the issue ahead of an international climate summit in Copenhagen in December.
