MADRID (Reuters) - The world's richest nations are failing to "behave like adults" and act firmly enough to meet global warming targets set in the Paris climate accord, former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday.
Kerry, who served as the top U.S. diplomat under President Barack Obama and was a leading player in brokering the Paris Agreement in 2015, said the G20 nations are lagging behind on emission reduction plans and financial pledges to poor countries instead of setting a high bar for global climate action.

This gigolo burns a dinosaur an hour on a private jet and is trying to tell me I need to suffer and cough up some more shekels so he can feel better about enjoying his sugar mama’s money?

Adults know that this climate scam is a scam.
So far you have only scared the children.
Who do you want to croak first, Kerry or RBG?
Mr. Kerry,the climate will win this fight.
Kerry needs to start selling his homes, cars, planes and lower his carbon footprint to that of the average citizen.
Until then, he needs to shut the f)(* up!
Put two rabbit ears on it and he will “Look like a demented Easter Bunny!”
Adult? This from John "I don't fall down" Kerry?
Kerry had just emerged as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in March 2004, for instance, when he took a snowboarding trip to Ketchum, Idaho. On one run down the slopes, Kerry collided with a Secret Service agent — in full view of his traveling press corps. (Kerry arguably compounded the problem by insisting to reporters, while prone on his backside: “I don’t fall down. That son of a bitch ran into me,” though aides insisted he was joking.)
