On Wednesday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry stated that hitting climate goals will cost between 2.5 to 5 trillion dollars annually “for the next 30 years” and that he believes China might not actually use the new coal plants they’re building because “That’s what
they say to us. And that’s what begins to be a possibility as we look at the massive amount of renewable that’s being deployed.” Co-host Ari Shapiro asked, [relevant exchange begins around 3:10] “China is building more coal-fired power plants and the U.S.[‘s] emissions are not falling fast...

Non-scientist, 100% politician John Kerry, Biden’s special climiate enjoy, jets around the world lecturing everyone on global warming. Sort
of like Leonardo Di Caprio, but uglier. But the same false science in order to control the people. Kerry praised China for its progress in fighting climate change (which changes with the seasons and is also dependent on how close Earth moves towards the Sun in its elipse). But Kerry, Obama, Biden, etc all pretend that it is all due to fossil fuels. And CO2 emissions are bad. (Actually, we need CO2 for plant life to thrive, but don’t tell John...

President Biden’s climate envoy John Kerry broke with the commander-in-chief on Thursday and refused to refer to Chinese President Xi Jinping as a “dictator” during a hearing on Capitol Hill. “There’s no question at all that President Xi is the major decider of the direction and of the policies of China,” Kerry,
79, told members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s oversight and responsibility subcommittee. When pressed by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who asked Kerry if Xi was “in fact, effectively a dictator,” the former Secretary of State stammered and said that it wouldn’t be “useful” to say that. “He...

"Despite not being confirmed by the U.S. Senate, John Kerry is still negotiating with the Chinese Communist Party to push a radical, Green New Deal agenda detrimental to American interests," House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Friday. "President Biden granted
his Climate Czar the ability to unilaterally set foreign policy and bind the United States to international agreements without consent from Congress," Comer continued. "China now recognizes that this is an opportunity to take advantage of this Administration’s weak leadership that consistently puts the priorities of Americans last."...

Pinkerton: Joe Biden and John Kerry’s Green Great Reset Punishes America, Rewards China Western Guilt and the Great Reset Here’s the bottom line on the just-ended COP 26, the international climate change conference that’s been meeting for the last two weeks in Glasgow, Scotland. The Biden administration, speaking for the United States,
has committed itself to substantial cuts in carbon dioxide emissions in the coming decades; as President Biden himself said in Glasgow on November 1, the U.S. will commit to 50-52 percent reductions in CO2 from 2005 levels by the year 2030. Biden further pledged a “net-zero emissions economy”...

U.S. climate envoy John Kerry was asked about Chinese slave labor at a press conference Wednesday at COP26 following a joint statement with China on enhancing climate action "How in the several months of meetings behind the scenes with China did you bring up some of those very contentious issues such as
the use-of-force labor in Xinjiang for building solar panels. How have you addressed it and how did you overcome that in reaching this?" a reporter asked Kerry. "Well we're honest about the differences," Kerry said. "We certainly know what they are and we've articulated them but that's not...

New government documents show that John Kerry’s wife, heiress of Heinz Ketchup, has millions of dollars in Chinese investments, leaving Biden’s climate change envoy facing an ethical dilemma. Kerry’s
latest filing with the Office of Government Ethics in March shows his wife benefits from an investment of “at least $1 million” in a hedge fund that specializes in private partnerships and investments with Chinese government-controlled funds, the Daily Mail reports. Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz, is the widow of late senator John Heinz and heiress to the Heinz family fortune, which is estimated to be worth over $750 million. Kerry often...

US Climate Envoy Kerry Gets Cold Shoulder in China

Analysts are portraying this week’s visit to China by U.S. presidential envoy John Kerry as a diplomatic embarrassment, with Chinese leaders giving no ground on Kerry’s appeal for cooperation on climate change and offering him only video meetings with senior officials. “The
Taliban got a better reception” when a delegation from the Afghan insurgent group met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing on July 28, noted Anders Corr, a longtime China observer and publisher of the Journal of Political Risk. The chilly treatment of Kerry reflects how much an increasingly assertive China’s approach to Washington has changed in...

Twelve years ago in autumn, the Year of the Ox according to the traditional Chinese horoscope and a year after the massive 2008 financial crisis, then-US president Barack Obama went to Beijing to propose a megadeal to China. It was a pact about the environment that could include technology transfer from the
US to China. The pact didn’t gain traction in China and was finally scuttled at the climate conference in Copenhagen that December. Last week, again in the Year of the Ox, US Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry went to Tianjin to broach the environmental issue with the...

The Chinese Communists don’t like having their oppressive regime called out for human rights abuses and they let U.S. climate envoy John Kerry know that in no uncertain terms. ... The reason their solar panels are being sanctioned is that the Communists are engaging in unfair trading practices by deliberately selling the
products at a loss to undercut the viability of the U.S. solar panel industry. The Chinese were also using slave labor to produce the panels. It’s harder to sell those solar panels because the Chinese are cheating and got caught. Should we lift the restrictions because of human...

This past weekend John Kerry signed a garbage “climate change” agreement with the Chinese Communist regime. The
Chinese didn’t even wait until Kerry was out of the country before they reneged on the agreement.

One thing that was accomplished during the trip was China was able to reduce John Kerry’s carbon footprint. Not only did they put John Kerry on a bus and force him to wait but they also stuck him in...
