President Barack Obama praised a
landmark climate change agreement
approved Saturday in Paris,
saying it could be "a turning point for
the world." "The Paris agreement establishes the enduring
framework the world needs
to solve the climate crisis," the President
said, speaking from the White House.
"It creates the mechanism, the
architecture, for us to continually
tackle this problem in aneffective way."
He praised American leadership but
noted that all participating nations
willhave to cooperate.
"I believe this moment can be a
turning point for the world," Obama said,
calling the agreement "The best chance
we have to save the one planet that
we've got." Though the plan was hailed
as a milestone in the battle to keep Earth
hospitable to human life, criticssay it is
short on specifics, such as how the
plan will be enforced or how
improvements will be measured.
The accord achieved one major goal.
It limits average global warming to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial temperatures and strives for a limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) if possible.
