NYT: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton wrapped up her first diplomatic mission to Asia yesterday with climate change experts praising her for putting global warming at the center of U.S. foreign policy....Accompanied by her top climate change envoy, Todd Stern, Clinton raised the issue at every point in her tour of Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and China. During her final stop in Beijing she toured a cogeneration plant built with high-efficiency gas turbine technology from General Electric Co. and urged China not to make the "same mistakes" as the United States in producing rampant emissions of greenhouse gases.
