++ President Obama landed at midnight Paris time and went directly to pay homage to the dead of the Paris attacks. He attended the vigil with President Francois Hollande and the Mayor of Paris.
++President Obama opens the Summit on Climate Change where 200 nations are gathered to reach a global deal to cut carbon emissions for the future and keep temperatures down to a habitable level.
++Since we have known the outlines of the deal for months,it seems strange to see a panic among climate activists set in. I don't know whether this is to hype attention to the summit or actually to voice concern that the agreement will not go far enough.
++Whatever the case we are seeing President Obama's last great accomplishment before he leaves office next year.
++Expect to see several deals on the periphery about migrants and Syria because Putin will also be in town.
++For France, it is a significant moment that you can have such a large global summit only a month after the terrorist attacks.
