This article talks about Obama meeting with Chinese leader Xi about forming a global climate agreement. This will be to stress societies need to take part in action and see the destruction we are causing on the environment. And they also want to create a global agreement on aviation emissions, but there are disputes that will be discussed in the meeting. Obama says, "Part of what I've tried to communicate to President Xi is that the United States arrives at its power, in part, by restraining itself," Obama said. "When we bind ourselves to a bunch of international norms and rules, it's not because we have to, it's because we recognize that over the long term, building a strong international order is in our interests." This can relate to when the colonist came from Europe, one of the reasons they left was because of the over crowding and disgusting way of living. Their was no cleanness and they were over using most of the resources the Earth had given them. It's important for us to take care of the Earth, otherwise we will try to find a new place to live but everything will already be destroyed.
