‘Even if we get to net zero, we still need to get carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere,’ Kerry said. ‘This is a bigger challenge than a lot of people have really grabbed on to yet.’

He really didn’t say that, did he?

If Kerry eliminates Carbon Dioxide
He will also eliminate our Plants & Trees!!
Trees need Carbon Dioxide, Water & Sunlight
For Photosynthesis!!!
I searched and searched for a video of Kerry at the round table summit where he says that and could find NOTHING like that. Even the Daily Mail’s video in the article does not show him saying that. I still say those video’s were faked. If you really listen and watch you can tell. Also I don’t take much stalk in the Daily Mail. This is why:
“What is the Daily Mail famous for?”
“The Daily Mail has been noted for its unreliability and widely criticized for its printing of sensationalist and inaccurate scare stories of science and medical research, and for instances of plagiarism and copyright infringement.”
I will concede that it appears Kerry did say that though as I found this From a transcript. I think someone just wanted to make a video of him saying it.

Journalist talking about [inaudible] net zero emissions, we should be talking about net negative emissions? [inaudible].
Mr. Kerry: The goal that people are talking about for 2050 is net zero in that period of time. But I happen to believe at some point we’re going to get to zero, and at some point once we have the ability to, we need to be net negative. Yes. Absolutely correct. Even if we got to 2050 net zero, we will still have the mission ahead of us of sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, because there’s enough of it up there that even after getting to 2050 net zero, you still have damage being done and that is being added to now by methane. Methane is leaking at a rate that is very dangerous because methane is anywhere from 20-100 times, I hear various numbers, but the baseline I’ve ever heard is 20 times more damaging than CO2. It doesn’t last as long, but it’s much more damaging. So that’s happening now because permafrost is melting in Alaska. The tundra is melting in Siberia. You run around the world and we see increasing threats because of methane alone and other greenhouse gases.
So the focus is not just on CO2. The focus is on all greenhouse gases of which methane is perhaps the most destructive.
