For all of the critics that suggested that the Paris Climate talks would be a waste of time they are proven wrong once again. Though this deal may not be as comprehensive as we had hoped and be the silver bullet toward “fixing” Global Warming and avoiding it’s monumental consequences, it’s a giant step in the right direction.
The parameters of this climate deal are being described as “ambitious” and “strong”. While this isn’t set in stone in terms of becoming law (yet), being able to corral Brazil, India and most importantly China to sign on to an outline of a deal is monumental. We are at a crucial moment in time where we have an opportunity to address Climate Change forcefully and effectively. However, I have never been more hopeful that we will achieve our goals in doing so.
Let this be the moment that momentum swings toward saving our planet for future generations.

From the article: “Negotiators in Paris are to present their final draft text on Saturday morning for a deal on limiting climate change after working through Friday night to thrash out remaining details.
The French president, François Hollande, is due to join Ban Ki-moon at the landmark summit at 11.30am local time, when the text is expected to be published. The draft is predicted to be officially adopted in the afternoon.”
The proposed outline seems as though it will become a binding deal in just a few hours. This is great news and a huge breakthrough in our efforts to fight against Global Warming.
