When I was in China last summer - with one English-language channel, a news channel - a lot of coverage was given to the Chinese president's speeches on the need to address climate and environmental issues. Apparently he was serious, but whether there is meaningful follow-through is the big question. Admitting there's a problem is the first step to getting something accomplished.

We shall see if anything concrete comes of this.
