Today, the United States and Brazil Reach Climate Agreement

++With Dilma Rousseff at the White House, the United States and Brazil both pledged that renewables would compose 20% of our energy mix by 2030. Brazil committed to restore and reforest 12 million hectares--about the size of Pennsylvania--and also eliminate illegal deforestation. 

++President Rousseff promised Brazil would fight for an ambitious climate agreement at the December Paris meeting.

++The Joint pledge came only hours after China submitted its official submission of climate levels to the United Nations.

++Today's agreement was a very big deal.
