U.S. climate envoy John Kerry confirmed Wednesday he is departing his position to work on President Biden’s reelection campaign, emphasizing the stakes for climate policy in the election.

Kerry, speaking with BloombergTV at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, said the stakes for the 2024 election are “as high as they can get,” despite skepticism about Biden among younger, climate-focused voters, who polling shows are increasingly leery of the president’s age and his policies on the Israel-Hamas war.

Don't you have some medals to throw over the White House fence or something?

Kerry is a horrible human being. I wish for him to get exactly what he deserves.

[rktman]

I thought he quit the climate czar post so why is he still talking...........

[blackdog]

Heinzesite.

[cgbg]

He is a traitor—even the planet hates him!

[blackdog]

Sorry. Heinzesight.

The stakes are high for the globalists' warmageddon cult.

No matter what anybody says about the climate nor how often they say it, anybody who loves history knows that the Modern Warm Period is just the same ol' same ol' we've seen before.

Frankly, I'm glad we're no longer living in the horrible Little Ice Age that was going on when this country was founded. Remember Washington's troops freezing to death? Remember the Pilgrims starving? 40-60% of Europe dying from the Black Plague? Deaths by disease here in North America, and Africa, and Asia? Why in the world would anybody hate on life in the warm periods (less deaths by plague, higher crop yields, and more predictable rain patterns)? That ain't science! Only a cult can teach you to hate the Modern Warm Period!

I thought Florida was suppose to be underwater by now... didn’t Kerry say that years ago?

John Kerry: Goodbye, Good Riddance

“ In a city overflowing with useless people, agencies and institutions, one of its most worthless figures is (finally) leaving his government post. While John Kerry is not quite going away, he is closer to the exit than the entrance. This is good for the country.

“ Though in his own league, Kerry is representative of the Washington blob that does more to hold back this country than to move it ahead (which would require dissolution of the blob). This clot of politicians, staffers, regulators, lobbyists, lawyers, journalists and activists is an offense to the system of limited power that the Founders left for us. Washington is filled with busybodies, aspiring tyrants, meddlers, scoundrels, grifters, mediocrities, the unaccountable and the shiftless who could not thrive in the private sector.”

This is all we'll here from now until November 2024. EVERYTHING will be worse for you if you don't vote Democrat.

It is sunny in my part of Florida today.

It was almost entirely cloudy and chilly/cold for about 50 days. Solar panels produced a few percent of their nameplate capacity. The wind was for about 10% of that time strong.

It is now clear that we have to run with natural gas or switch to nuclear.

If the world switches to nuclear, every human being and all mammals on the planet will be endangered. If we stay with natural gas, Obama might have ocean water in two of his houses. I say run with cheaper and safer natural gas.

The ‘Rats have said this in every election in recent memory.

It really does appear that the memory span of the Democrat voter is less than four years.

What exzcflg are the stakes ,Kerry? Put it o. The line- tell us whT is going to happen

So far your side has been wrong about everything- not that you will ever admit it! You all just make up lies to support your nonsense argument that man is causing climate change!

Be a man Kerry and state what is going to happen and how soon! And when you asinine predictions don’t come true AGAIN we can dismiss you as the charlatan that you are!

[laconic]

Yes, and Kerry denounced private air travel and its use of carbon fuel as he got off his private jet. Just like he strongly supported the Massachusetts Yacht tax but then stored his own yachts in the Rhode Island harbors to avoid paying it.

[Brian Griffin]

CO2 emitted by jets can linger in the atmosphere for centuries.

The CO2 emitted by a car might mainly be plant food for a few days.

[Brian Griffin]

Water vapor is the main greenhouse gas.

Water vapor pretty much drowns out any effect of CO2 except for in some very dry places.

Ozone is a greenhouse gas. The Montreal Protocol reduced the amount and types of freon that destroy ozone. When ozone destruction was reduced by the Montreal Protocol, the atmosphere retained more ozone and planet warmed a little bit in the 1990s.

More like four minutes.

What is the starting salary for a Climate Envoy?

[yldstrk]

John Kerry can you just go away? No one likes you.

[blackdog]

If you can make Americans believe in global warming, you can certainly sell them on,"Little Johnny Needs a Vagina".

So maybe Ketchup Giggalo is set on becoming the Federal Genital Czar?
