...President Hu Jintao told the U.N. that by 2020 China would increase the share of renewable and nuclear power in its energy supply to 15%, plant 40 million hectares of forest, increase investment in a greener economy and reduce its carbon intensity - the amount of economic value it gets per unit of power - by a "notable margin." Many of those domestic goals had already been announced, but the tone of Hu's speech made an impact on his audience. "I think China has provided impressive leadership," said Al Gore after Hu's talk.

But the world was looking for targets - hard numbers - and all Hu would say was that China would cut, by a "notable margin," its emissions per unit of output by the year 2020. Out of such caution - standard in a country that does not want to do anything to hamstring its economic growth - it's unlikely that historic agreements will spring. (Has China become the climate-change good...
