Contrary to hardcore denialist claims China announced emissions targets the day after Obama announced that he would target reductions for the U.S. India followed shortly thereafter. As I have said for years, America must lead on this issue if it is to happen. The rest of the world is either weak or evil. This is not a socialist conspiracy: it can be accomplished through market mechanisms--that is the only way anyone in the world has proposed to handle it. An increase in regulations, however, is likely to be inescapable.
I have read hundreds of articles on the climate change issue, and it has long been obvious to me that the overwhelming balance of intelligence is on the side of those who support emissions controls. This may be considered significant of something. It usually is.
