U.N. summit marks the latest hurdle in John F. Kerry’s long climate crusade

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt — The lights were literally going out on this year’s U.N. Climate Change Conference in Egypt as weary negotiators engaged in the final hours of heated, middle-of-the-night bargaining. Yet one of the summit’s most powerful diplomats had to work the phones from afar, isolated in his hotel room after contracting covid-19.

It was hardly the first time U.S. special climate envoy John F. Kerry, 78, has been tripped up in trying to exert U.S. environmental leadership. The former secretary of state is the face of the U.S. government’s response to climate change, but his résumé of accomplishments is mixed. The nations of the world lag far behind on the pledges they had promised under the Paris accords he helped broker in 2015, and activists and some national leaders say they are becoming disillusioned with the COP summits and America’s inability to deliver on its promises.

Such is the dichotomy Kerry confronts. He is a rock star in climate diplomacy, but he is tethered to the vagaries of U.S. and global politics. That has left many to wonder why his charm and influence cannot marshal a more effective response in the world’s capitals, including his own.

I never voted for this Kerry-A-Hole. By what Constitutional authority does he speak for Americans?

Since when did kerry care about the climate? He’s a French-speaking marxist who served in Vietnam.

Kerry, one could argue, is the beginning of the American and world-wide inflation crisis.

He was the one determined to bring the hoax of climate change to the forefront.

Climate change is the biggest fraud in American history, and the democrats have been committed to the hoax for decades.

When democrats ‘won’ with Obama and now Biden, climate change was the driver for a lot of their spending.

Kerry was named the climate change czar,with a lot of promised spending to go into the many trillions of dollars. A lot of the spending in the last 2 years was for climate change,including the ‘phony need’ for electric vehicles to combat the fraud of climate change.

Biden and democrats have committed trillions of dollars to climate change,including the climate bill that got passed this year.

Without Kerry pushing for spending and without democrats and Biden going along, the U.S. would not be in such desperation with inflation. Climate change policies caused Biden and democrats to declare war against fossil-fuels, and since 2020, oil and gas prices have risen because of the closing of oil pipelines and the stoppage of oil drilling and the ceasing of exploration for additional oil fields.

Climate change policies have been destroying economies, including that of the U.S..

Get rid of climate change policies, and the world can start to recover from inflation and recessions.

John Hanoi Kerry is having trouble acquiring wealth to stay on top in his imaginary world.

It’s too bad he didn’t rack his climate nuts going over that hurdle.

Sound and fury signifying nothing.

We can change the weather! Really?!

He is an arrogant self-entitled horse's ass.
