No. 2 US climate diplomat leaves after a year under Biden

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration’s second-ranking climate diplomat is leaving his government job after one year, special U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said Friday.

Jonathan Pershing is a veteran of decades of U.S. government climate efforts, with work that included helping to negotiate the 2015 Paris accord under the Obama administration. Pershing had returned to government to help the Biden administration restart global U.S. climate efforts following President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris accord.

As soon as Joe Biden called Kerry about serving as climate envoy, “I called Jonathan in California to tell him we needed him on Day One. I told him we had to get the band back together,” Kerry said in a statement, calling it “a critical call for us.”

“After four years of disengagement and distrust, we needed not just the A team but the A+ team to rebuild our credibility and diplomacy,” Kerry said in the statement. He credited Pershing with making a “real difference.”

That alone should make him a candidate for treason - hinder and inflate the US economy with mandates on energy cuts and use of inefficient/expensive energy, while giving places like India and China a pass.

Yes, we’ll, if your job is being a “climate diplomat”, you are most definitely a big pile of #2.

Climate diplomat? Do they go negotiate with the climate, make concessions to the climate to avoid hurricanes and such?
