Global climate change is back in the headlines, led by the Paris climate agreement deadline approaching and news that this year is going to be even hotter than the record-setting heat in 2015, which was hotter than the record set in 2014. China and the United States, the two biggest air polluters in the world, recently agreed to lead by example by ratifying the Paris agreement in the battle to combat global warming by reducing greenhouse emissions. The world's two biggest economies pledging to, as President Obama puts it, "put your money where your mouth is," makes it even more likely that the Paris agreement will be put into effect. President Obama and China President Xi Jinping putting other differences aside and vowing to act as ambassadors for slowing global warming is a big step in the right direction towards getting a requisite of 55 countries representing 55 percent of global emissions to ratify the Paris agreement. #graphene
