Biden climate czar John Kerry's top deputies discussed keeping discussions 'off paper'

Multiple top officials within Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC) John Kerry's office engaged in a discussion about keeping certain budgetary items "off paper," according to recently-released documents.

During a March 2022 email exchange — involving Deputy Climate Envoys Sue Biniaz and Rick Duke, former SPEC senior director for climate finance Leonardo Martinez-Diaz, senior adviser Jesse Young and nine other SPEC officials whose names were redacted — aides discussed how they would brief Kerry on the office's proposed budget for fiscal year 2023.

The emails, obtained via records request by watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) and shared with Fox News Digital, shed additional light on the internal deliberations in Kerry's climate office. The SPEC office, which is housed in the State Department, has been notably tight-lipped about its operations and doesn't publicly disclose its members.

"I would also suggest a call or meeting soon with jk to update him on FY22 and 23, focusing on all the elements we can’t put on paper," Martinez-Diaz told the other officials in a March 9, 2022, email.

Shortly after President Biden announced the creation of the SPEC office and the appointment of Kerry, the State Department first requested an annual budget of $11.5 million for the office. That number has climbed to at least $13.9 million and the office has gained approval for 45 personnel, most of whom are unknown.

And since taking on the role, Kerry has traveled across the world to take part in high-stakes climate negotiations with foreign counterparts. He has led multiple U.S. delegations to United Nations climate conferences and private events like the World Economic Forum.

Never write you can speak, never speak when you can nod, never nod when you can wink, etc.

They’re a despicable cabal.

If such a story had leaked about PDJT, congressional hearings would have resulted.

If we could just eliminate the hot air emanating out of DC the global warming problem would disappear.

Keeping certain budgetary items “off paper “

Biden is about to ask congress for BILLIONS for climate change in other countries.

Time to congress to show their spine if the do the left will say the Republicans are causing climate change.

Time to give the media and the democrats the finger and no money.
