Obama, Hollande Call For "Ambitious" Climate Agreement . . . . In 2015, Of Course

The presidents of France and the United States are jointly calling for other nations to join them in seeking an "ambitious" agreement to curb climate change.

Presidents Barack Obama and Francois Hollande, writing in an article in the Washington Post and Le Monde on Monday, called for support "in pursuit of an ambitious and inclusive global agreement" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions "through concrete actions" at a climate conference in Paris in 2015.

Co-operation on a host of global issues - which include the Syrian crisis, Iran's nuclear program, and security in Africa - has resulted in France and the United States enjoying a "model" relationship, the presidents wrote.

The joint opinion piece comes as Hollande travels to the United States on Monday for a state visit.
