Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine marks the end of the West’s Era of Illusions. It was an era in which Western elites obsessed about solving climate change because the climate crisis was far more dangerous than issues of war and peace and the stability of the international system. They even convinced themselves that climate change causes war, so climate change policy could double as national security policy; and, for many years, the annual round of kumbaya UN climate talks was the apogee of international relations.
In a BBC World Service interview, presidential climate envoy John Kerry expressed concern about the amount of greenhouse gas being emitted from the war in Ukraine. Kerry was just getting warmed up with a string of platitudes that show him as a deluded climate relic, unable to come to terms with the reality that Putin has imposed on the world. “Equally importantly,” Kerry complained, “you’re going to lose people’s focus,” as if the first invasion of a sovereign European country since the Second World War is an annoying distraction. Hopefully, Kerry continued, Putin would realize that Russia’s land is thawing, and the people of Russia are at risk.
Kerry concluded with an expression of pure self-deception, saying he hopes Putin “will help us to stay on track with respect to what we need to do for the climate.” Stay on track? Russia has never hidden its intention to avoid cutting its emissions. Russia’s second Nationally Determined Contribution, submitted in November 2020 under the Paris climate agreement, is to limit its 2030 emissions to “no more than 70% of 1990 levels.” The document is careful to avoid pledging to cut or reduce emissions...

So what it few structures build improperly on permafrost collapse.
Vainglorious buffoon, as Steyn tagged him
Can you get there by swift boat?
I would think that the rapid turn to prosperity under Trump would be something that all of the peoples of the world with any access to information could see. It has to be being missed in America, even if only under the breaths of Liberals.
The days of this scam, I think, are numbered.
“John Kerry: Putin’s Useful Climate Idiot”
John Kerry’s a Climate Idiot
There, fixed it
You beat me to it. I have no use for JK. Just a really dumb guy.
My first laugh of the morning! He so comes off as one.
When he speaks on anything, the world’s most repulsive gigolo is an idiot.
It’s the Chinese who benefit the most from our insane embrace of the climate hysteria.
Is that the same John Kerry who flew to Iceland in his private jet to accept an environmental award for his work on climate issues?
The same people who hyped Russiagate ignored warnings by the head of NATO & Hillary Clinton that Russia was financing activists to block nat gas production
The result was Putin's stranglehold over Europe's energy supplies, more coal-burning, & the worst energy crisis in 50 years pic.twitter.com/uiZXRF5WmW— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) March 7, 2022
Climate change is a Weapon developed by China to castrate our industrial capacity as a nation while we choke on our own zeal for a greener more sustainable world. Whatever that means as definitions change among these idiots faster than Lane changes on I-95.
