French Hosts Submit Proposed U.N. Climate-Rescue Accord
French hosts submitted to cheers and applause Saturday a proposed 195-nation accord to curb emissions of the heat-trapping gases that threaten to wreak havoc on Earth's climate system.
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, who presided over nearly a fortnight of talks in Paris that ran into overtime despite all-night negotiations, delivered the accord to ministers who must now decide whether or not to approve it.
