An article from NY Times regarding the struggle China is facing.
One question is “What will China do?” said Jake Schmidt, international climate policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Council. And, just as importantly, he added, it’s “Will Congress accept it?”
The world may get an answer to the first question tomorrow, when Chinese President Hu Jintao speaks to the U.N. General Assembly. He is expected to announce a major climate change plan, which some experts say could include a new five-year commitment to reducing the greenhouse gas content of China’s economy, and may indicate when China plans to peak its emissions before lowering them.
