53 nations had already ratified the accord before today, constituting 1% of the world's total CO2 emissions. when china signed on, 54 nations constituting 21% of the world's total CO2 emissions were part of it. and now that the US has joined, 55 nations constituting 41% of the world's total CO2 emissions are now bonded together to cut pollution by 2030 and bring global warming within striking distance.

it's been a tense few months between the US and china, what with the saber-rattling in the south china sea. so this treaty is a good step forward not only for the future of the planet, but the continued friendship between the two nations.
