Climate envoy says US, China must end world’s ‘suicide pact’

LONDON (AP) — U.S. climate envoy John Kerry called on China to join America in urgently cutting greenhouse gas emissions and described the international alliances that rebuilt Europe after World War II as a model for fighting against climate change.

Kerry challenged global leaders to accelerate the actions needed to curb rising temperatures and pull the world back from the edge of the abyss. “Allies, partners, competitors and even adversaries” must work together, he said during a speech at London’s Kew Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage site where scientists are working to protect plants from global warming.

“The climate crisis is the test of our own times, and while it may be unfolding in slow motion, to some, this test is as acute and as existential as any previous one,” Kerry said. “Time is running out.”

Kerry referred to the often tense relationship between the U.S. and China but said the future depended on their cooperation. Both countries also need to raise their ambitions, he said.

“It is not a mystery that China and the U.S. have many differences. But on climate, cooperation is the only way to break free from the world’s current mutual suicide pact,″ he said. “President Biden and President Xi have both stated unequivocally that each will cooperate on climate despite other consequential differences. America needs China to succeed in slashing emissions. China needs America to do the same.″

Any way we can talk China into just keeping him?

At this point the Climate Whiners need to talk to the 2x most egregious offenders of pollution in general - India and China, followed by SE Asia and Africa. The rest of the civil world has been cleaning up their act pretty well.

But, no. The US is an easy low hanging target.

Has Kerry given up any of his yachts, private jets, or multiple mansions?

the most egregious offenders of pollution in general*

Kerry, you turd, you're excluding the most egregious offenders of all: those volcanoes in Iceland, the Ring of Fire all over the world spewing megatons of water vapor, methane, sulfur dioxide, ash and God knows what into the air we breathe.

And don't forget that big yellow ball in the sky which is the source of ALL our weather and climate.

Try to pass laws to stop these. Go ahead and try, turd.

It’s ridiculous to relate the rebuilding of Europe to the stranglehold restrictions of greenhouse gas emission regulations. Even if it’s spoken by John Kerry, who served in Vietnam.

Let this SOB start by giving his speeches via Zoom. I am sick of their hypocritical pontificating.

I challenge ANY green-earther to go to Ventusky.com, click on the ‘Air Quality’ tab with the USA then China maps on the screen - ANY of the air quality sub-tabs will do.

I propose that in the ‘pollute the Earth’ Olympics, China is winning HANDS DOWN
