John Kerry, Joe Biden's "climate czar" who famously scolded those who criticized him for taking a gas-guzzling private jet to Iceland to collect a "climate change leadership award," saying that was the "only choice for someone like me," is being blasted for now posturing as "Putin's useful idiot."
Useful "climate" idiot, that is.
It is Rupert Darwall, a senior fellow at RealClearFoundation and an author of a book on the green agenda, who wrote at Real Clear Energy about Kerry, who has made multiple statements since Russia invaded Ukraine and started killing civilians that he was concerned about the emissions from the war.
"Vladimir Putinโs invasion of Ukraine marks the end of the Westโs 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," Darwall wrote. "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 U.N. climate talks was the apogee of international relations."

I agree. I would be interested in what role the Biden administration is playing in this if any. I suspect there is a lot going on behind the scenes that we do not know about and they do not want us to know about.
10% for the big guy.................
I wonder if Kerry was lamenting Putin’s actions because it meant he would also be stopping Russia’s significant financial backing of the climate alarm industry.
The deflated football face speaks!
Surprisingly, the Russian climate models are by far the most accurate!
Not that there is any relation to the war in Ukraine, but the accuracy of Russian climate models has been observed for a longtime!
Probably, because they are funded from different bucket.
The argument Kerry has been making - Russia is 63% permafrost, if permafrost melts, they will had a lot of damage, is a faulty one.
First only about 30% is real permafrost, the rest is like seasonal or partial permafrost, whatever that means.
Secondly, the permafrost map well correlates with practically no settlements. Basically, permafrost makes land useless!
Russians would love to melt that permafrost and get something out of that 30% to 63% of Russia. Even if few buildings in that area sink!
Only Kerry can think otherwise!
Just wait until jf’nk modifies he wartime tails and talks about covertly transiting the Dnieper River to get to Kyiv under the cover of darkness on Christmas eve. “Ouch! I have a splinter!”
Well, if it were to melt, then it would NOT be ‘permafrost’ right? Can we rename it tempofrost? :>} In either case, what sort of lethal microbes could be waiting to attack after the melt? Sounds like a Michael Crichton story.
Little known fact. Kerry was in Vietnam
Well, if it were to melt,
____
If it were to melt, we will all be happy.
Alaska and norther Canada are covered by permafrost too.
We could happily move over there and enjoy the balmy weather!
I could!

He’s thinking that the Russian invasion will add to global warming/climate change.
Where? I thought it was Cambodia. :>}
Whenever there’s a WEF meeting in Schweitzerland, Ol’ John’s private jet will be parked somewhere nearby.
“Kerry blasted for being ‘Putin’s useful idiot’...”
Kerry is a useless idiot.
Horseface Kerry was never very bright
Kerry's the rich version of Al Gore: low-average IQ, big fat ego, total jerk... and a useful idiot for any thug who butters him up.
Infuriating. All John Kerry’s imaginary position with Biden is to have the US taxpayers pick up the fuel tab for his fleet of private jets and cover his vacation expenses around the world. What a GD grifter.
Brian Wilson was there.
