Obama Phones Modi and Other World Leaders |
President Barack Obama is busy calling up various world leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He called Modi "to discuss the ongoing Paris climate conference. Both leaders underscored their strong commitment to address issues related to climate change being discussed in the Paris conference through constructive engagement, without impeding the progress of developing countries. India and Brazil, along with China and the U.S., are among the world`s top producers of greenhouse gases that warm the planet. The role of the four nations in reaching a deal to curb those emissions is crucial to the success of the negotiations. The U.S. and China have jointly pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions, but the U.S. has been pushing for aggressive terms requiring countries to verify their reduced emissions in a step that the Chinese see as intrusive.
