Kerry: ‘People are going to die' due to Trump's withdrawal from Paris climate deal
The Hill ^ | 11/16/18 | Justin Wise

Posted on 11/17/2018 4:19:27 PM PST by Simon Green

Former Secretary of State John Kerry said "people are going to die" because of President Trump's decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement.

"People are going to die because of the decision Donald Trump made," Kerry said in an interview with The Guardian published on Friday. "My kids and my grandkids are going to face a difficult world because of what Donald Trump has done."

The Guardian questioned Kerry about a variety of subjects, including many he writes about in his book, "Every Day is Extra," that was released in September.

In it, Kerry details the Obama administration's work to secure both the Paris climate deal and the Iran nuclear deal. Trump withdrew the U.S. from both of the agreements in his first two years in office.

But Kerry said that he does not take Trump's actions personally, adding that he feels "better than a lot of people think” about the Paris deal. He noted that Trump's withdrawal does not affect the other 194 countries that agreed to curb global greenhouse gas emissions through individual, nonbinding national plans.

He added that countries such as France, Britain and Russia have talked with the foreign minister of Iran to evaluate how the nuclear deal can move forward.

"I’m sorry for the world," Kerry said. "I’m sorry for my country, which looks ridiculous. Look, I’ve known all my life that this is a tough business, that politics is hard — that there are ups and down and if you personalize them you’re never going to survive.”

Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, has repeatedly criticized Trump throughout his presidency. He's attracted speculation about a potential run against Trump in 2020, and he told The Guardian that he hasn't ruled it out.

"I’m just going to think quietly about whether I think it’s … necessary," he said. "Whether I feel I can bring something to the table that’s essential, that somebody else can’t."

Jerry’s kids and grandkids are in the top 1%. They will be fine. They can buy whatever they need. If J Fn Kerry believes this he should donate all his wealth to scientists to save the planet.

Since liberals think the world is too populated Kerry should be good with dead people.

Hey Kerry; go find a pike sticking out of the ground that's about 6' tall and sit on it until it comes out your face.

“Where are some actual proof there is Global Warming?

The crucial point is for them to blame it on man’s activity. That being primarily our (American) industry, use of fossil fuel which you can’t have a prosperous nation without abundant, afforable energy. Our high standard of living e.g. high meat intake, air conditioning and about every other thing that comes along with living in this country.

What it actually amounts to is a direct ATTACK on this nation. Same as in WWII except they aren’t using bombs and bullets.

The Paris climate deal was a bad deal, and it won’t make a difference if it is accepted or rejected. BTW Lurch, how many trips have you had on planes as of late. Perhaps if you cut those to 1 maybe 2 a year then it would help save the people you profess to have concern for.
