Pelosi to China: Climate a 'Game Changer' [1]
"US House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday that the fight against climate change was a 'game changer' in China-US relations, as she visited Beijing on a trip focused on energy.
Pelosi, a tough critic of China's human rights record and a vocal advocate of environmental protection, is leading a delegation from the US Congress to China on a working visit devoted to energy and climate change. ...
Speaking at the same forum, US Senator John Kerry -- who is on a separate trip to China -- said the success of a key UN environment summit in Denmark in December rested largely on China and the United States."
