Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that after meeting Premier Wen Jiabao , he was convinced China was committed to forging an agreement in Copenhagen in December. “The level of seriousness on this is absolutely undoubted,” he said in an interview with China Daily . “I think the difference today from, say, a few years ago, is that there’s enormous goodwill and determination,” he said. Blair, 56, was speaking in Beijing on behalf of the Climate Group, a non-governmental international organization seeking to secure a global deal on the environment backed by both the United States and China. Blair’s visit came days after government research groups published a report that said China’s emissions of carbon will likely peak in 2030. China is the world’s second-biggest energy user after the US and is one of the top two emitters of greenhouse gases, along with the United States.
