A senior Obama administration official says the US, China, India and South Africa have reached a 'meaningful agreement' on climate change.
The official characterized the deal as a first step, but said it was not enough to combat the threat of a warming planet.
Details of the deal with these emerging economies were not immediately clear.
The agreement was reached Friday at the UN climate conference in Copenhagen after a meeting among President Barack Obama and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and South African President Jacob Zuma.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not yet been officially announced. (Photo: Scanpix/New York Times)Read more"

Copenhagen has failed. The UN has failed to address the most important crisis in human history. This is now the time for sanctions, boycotts and embargoes. A new alliance is needed. An alliance of hope and peace and justice must be built to oppose the axis of pollution, extinction and self destruction.
