The crucial Copenhagen climate conference might have failed to arrive at a consensus but President Barack Obama's leadership at the summit and his attempts that brokered a US-BASIC political deal was hailed by Congress leaders here as "commendable".
Top Congressional leaders praised Obama for reaching a "breakthrough" agreement with China, India, Brazil and South Africa but said this is just a beginning to advance climate change objectives.
"The President's personal involvement, and the efforts of Secretary (Hillary) Clinton and her negotiating team, have been extremely focused and commendable," House Majority Leader Steny H Hoyer said.
US brokered a political deal with India and three other emerging economies over non-legally-binding emission cuts which was rejected by an overwhelming number of developing nations which called it one-sided and "suicidal".
