--FILE--Heavy smoke is discharged from chimneys at an ethylene plant of PetroChina in Jilin city, northeast China's Jilin province, 18 February 2012.When the 2009 Copenhagen climate summit ended without reaching a legally binding deal to limit greenhouse gas emissions, China was demonised for wrecking the negotiations. Six years later, the world's largest carbon emitter has become an unlikely leader in the international dialogue. China is now praised for its plans to tackle climate change ¨C by peaking its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, reducing its dependence on fossil fuels, and helping poor countries adapt to global warming. The changes, made possible by economic restructuring and public pressure to tackle pollution, come as the country ¨C now the world's second-largest economy ¨C straddles the division between developing and developed nations.No Use China. No Use France.
