Paris climate deal: EU backs landmark agreement - BBC News
This is worth memorializing: perhaps the world's most modern and cultured bloc ratifies the Paris Climate Deal. Good for the European Union. Now we have to downshift and accelerate of our CO2 reductions and move away from fossil fuels faster, every day, every hour.

"To become operational, the treaty needs at least 55 countries representing at least 55% of global emissions to complete all the steps.
"With the action taken by the EU parliament, I am confident that we will be able to cross the 55% threshold very soon, in just a matter of a few days," Mr Ban said.
"I am extremely honoured to be able to witness this historic moment," he added.
It comes after India, one of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters, became the latest country to ratify the deal on Sunday."
"Backed by nearly 200 nations nearly one year ago, the agreement aims to shift the world economy away from fossil fuels in an effort to limit floods, droughts and rising sea levels."
