U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said he thinks coal plants should not be “permitted anywhere in the world.”
During a speech at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Kerry said he is becoming “more and more” militant about climate policy because people are avoiding responsibility.
“We don’t need that necessarily to tell us we ought to be transitioning out of coal,” Kerry said about the pollution from coal plants. “There shouldn’t be any more coal power plants permitted anywhere in the world.”
“That’s how you can do something for health,” he added. “And the reality is that we’re not doing it.”
Kerry spoke at the conference during the first-ever dedicated “Health Day,” which intended to highlight the connections between the climate crisis and health crises. He said the climate crisis and health crisis are one and the same.
Kerry is serving as the first U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, and was nominated by President Biden in November 2020.
He said he is becoming more militant about coal plants because he does not “understand how adults who are in positions of responsibility can be avoiding responsibility for taking away those things that are killing people on a daily basis.”

Of course Kerry will give the Chinese a pass... but no pass for the US. Same as he did in the Vietnam War... Pass for the commies - hatred for his own countrymen.
Two words: metallurgical coal.
Yes. Very well
kerry is so done. His day has past along with his green new deal fantasy.
looking for a legacy no matter how idiotic
Kerry is a CLOWN.
I nominate him for ambassador to China
I really doubt that it's real - looks like a very expensive toup.
Modern technology should be able to create coal plants that burn clean enough to cause little harm. What’s holding them up?
It just isn’t possible for these demoncrats to continue this incessant sewage-spewing and not find themselves answering a knock at the door at 2 a.m. some morning to find about a hundred peasants with pitchforks asking to have a word with them.
This can’t go on indefinitely without resulting in an equal and opposite (and probably quite bloody) reaction.
Maybe Kerry needs to visit one of the caves to see the sacrifices miners make for the public good. They could take his helmet and turn off the lights on him to see if he can find his way out.
