The rapid appointment that the President and I made of a United States Special Envoy for Climate Change reflects the seriousness we feel about dealing with this urgent threat. And I will be taking Special Envoy Todd Stern with me to Asia next week to begin the discussions that we hope will create the opportunities for cooperation.
Now, our nation has been the largest historic emitter of greenhouse gases, and we acknowledge that we must lead efforts to cut harmful emissions and build a lower-carbon economy. But each of the countries that I’m visiting also have a role to play in this effort.总统和我迅速任命一名美国气候变化问题特使反映了我们对待这一威胁的紧迫感。我下星期将率同斯特恩(Todd Stern)特使前往亚洲，开始进行我们希望将为展开合作创造机会的讨论。
我国一直是历史上最大的温室气体排放国，我们承认，我们必须率先努力减少有害气体的排放和建设低碳经济。但是我将访问的每一个国家也在这项努力中承担角色。
