China Just Agreed to Its First Ever Carbon Cap. Will It Be Enough?

The surprising deal announced between China and the U.S. on Tuesday that gives both nations long-term carbon-reduction targets has upped the game ahead of international climate negotiations next year.

Under the deal, China will cap emissions by 2030, although a peak could come earlier. And the U.S. agreed to greenhouse-gas cuts of 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025, an extension of the current pledge to cut 17 percent by 2020.
