In the agreement reached, the United States and China pledged to strengthen cooperation to combat climate change, including reducing methane emissions, protecting forests and phasing out coal. The joint statement stated that the two countries also plan to improve the measurement of methane emissions before the next climate summit (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said that both the U.S. and China believe that this agreement is a way to promote the success of the UN climate summit, and that both sides have taken a step towards closing the emissions gap. However, on the issue of tackling climate change, whether the CCP can fulfill its commitments has raised doubts.
On November 8, Obama went to the climate summit to give a speech, but he made a big mistake in his speech.
Obama delivered a speech at the climate summit, asking nearly 200 participating countries to take more determined actions in reducing emissions and addressing climate disasters. He also emphasized that the United States is once again ready to assume the role of “global leader”.
However, Obama, who has always liked quoting classics, quoted the passages in Shakespeare’s masterpiece “Othello” in this speech. He said: “Since we are on the Emerald Island, let me quote the famous line from’The Bard’ in Shakespeare’s Othello-what wounds do not heal slowly?”
However, the words Obama quoted were from Iago, the villain of “Othello”.
The British “Daily Mail” pointed out that Obama used the Bard to refer to Shakespeare in this sentence. Although Shakespeare is honored as the Bard in England, when people refer to the Bard in Scotland, they usually refer to the legendary Scottish poet Robert Burns.
Another oolong is that Obama mentioned that he is on Emerald Island, but Emerald Island is a nickname for Ireland, not Scotland.
Netizens teased Obama for not knowing where he was attending the climate summit.
