         US, Canada Agree Methane Emissions Cut to Fight Climate Change

   by Reuters

   The United States and Canada have agreed joint steps to fight climate
   change, including cutting methane emissions from the oil and gas
   industry and signing the Paris climate deal "as soon as feasible," the
   White House said on Thursday.

   The agreement comes ahead of an Oval Office meeting between Canadian
   Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Barack Obama at the White
   House.

   The countries committed to cutting emissions of methane, a powerful
   greenhouse gas, by 40 to 45 percent below 2012 levels by 2025, to take
   steps to fight climate change in the Arctic, and to speed development
   of green technologies, it added.
