This just in: Europe and U.S. reach climate accord

After threatening an outright veto of any reference to concrete reductions, the U.S. broke a trans-Atlantic deadlock by agreeing to โ€œseriously considerโ€ such proposals in a deal widely viewed as a compromise by Presidentย Bush.

The agreement did not specifically include the 50 per cent reduction sought by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, but it did endorse her request that climate talks take place under the United Nations. It also carried Bushโ€™s proposal to bring the worldโ€™s largest polluters โ€“ including China and India โ€“ together to set emission-reductionย goals.

Although the deal enabled the group to reach accord, it does not fundamentally alter the White Houseโ€™s refusal to accept binding targets for reducingย emissions.
