Final draft of climate deal formally accepted in Paris

"Paris (CNN)After years of buildup and weeks of negotiations, world leaders accepted the final draft of an ambitious, global climate change agreement Saturday in Paris.

Though hailed as a milestone in the battle to keep Earth hospitable to human life, the plan is short on specifics. It doesn't say how much each country must reduce greenhouse gas emissions or how nations will be punished if they violate the agreement.

The accord sets a goal of limiting average warming to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial temperatures -- and of striving for a limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) if possible.

"We have set a course here," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said. "The world has come together around an agreement that will empower us to chart a new path for our planet. A smart and responsible path. A sustainable path."

President Obama is set to speak about the agreement at 5:30 p.m. ET Saturday..."

Thanks nitro. Yes, very encouraging. Humanity should be proud of itself. It has come together with intelligence and ethics. It is looking forward and acting altruistically. All the different nations, races and religions are seeing that they all share one planet.

That being said, it's just a start. This is a good look at what it can do and needs to still be done.

The climate nay be warming in most, or all, of the industrialized countries. But what does that have to do with CO2? Does any one understand that the worlds experts have no clue? For God's sake, who cares what the god damn pope thinks ?
