The UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to support strong action to prevent climate change despite recent diplomatic efforts by the United States to have the measure withdrawn.The 193-member world body approved a nonbinding resolution endorsing the landmark advisory opinion by the UNs top court last July that called failure by countries to protect the planet from climate change a violation of international law.
