The good news is that scientists and companies are slowly developing techniques for controlling methane: infrared cameras to detect (and help plug) methane leaks from natural gas pipelines; new types of feed that cause cows to belch less (no, really); even new genetically engineered rice varieties that don't transfer as much methane from flooded paddies into the atmosphere.

While much of the president's trip was devoted to the future, he spent time in Laos confronting America's wartime past: a secret bombing campaign from 1964 to 1973 that left 80 million cluster bombs buried in rice paddies and forests, where farmers and children step on them and are killed or maimed (the State Department recently issued a warning for people playing the game Pokémon Go to watch out for land mines).
