Video: Unexpected Fart Sound Disrupts John Kerry’s COP28 Address

Videos circulating on the internet capture the moment when the solemnity of United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry’s speech on coal power plants was punctuated by a distinct fart sound.

Kerry, addressing the audience on Sunday, passionately advocated for stringent measures against coal-fired power plants worldwide. “There shouldn’t be any more coal-fired power plants permitted anywhere in the world,” declared the US climate envoy, emphasizing the urgency of global climate action.

However, the gravity of Kerry’s message was momentarily eclipsed by an audible disruption, captured in videos shared across social media platforms. The incident occurred in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where the COP28 conference is currently taking place.

Becky Anderson, managing editor of CNN Abu Dhabi, seated beside Kerry, reacted swiftly to the unforeseen interruption. Videos show Anderson jerking her head aside and placing a hand to her mouth in a spontaneous response to the unexpected noise.

It seems John Kerry should cut down on his greenhouse gases 🤣😂🤣
