Barack Obama seeks US-Chinese deal on global warming

Barack Obama seeks US-Chinese deal on global warming The Obama administration said on June 4 2009 that it was pursuing a joint US-Chinese deal on action against global warming to help push the rest of the world towards a global agreement on cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Todd Stern, the US climate change envoy, said a deal between the two countries – the world's largest polluters – would boost efforts to secure a crucial accord to avoid dangerous climate change. Those UN talks are just six months away.
