GLOBAL WARMING TREATY

In this account of the recent Climate Change Summit notice the call for some Authority to have legal control over all Nations of the world limiting their  greenhouse-gas emissions and pollution allowances, hence their economies.  Not good. But also note all the vague and soft language used by everyone involved which could mean the proposal agreed upon will come to nothing.  Most interesting is the effort to bridge the differences between the Global South and the Global North as well as the key role of China, again, in international issues and the future.
