'The climate crisis is a health crisis,' WHO's Vanessa Kerry tells FRANCE 24
France24 ^ | November 23, 2023 | By: Marc Perelman

Vanessa Kerry, who in June became the first-ever Special Envoy for Climate Change and Health for the World Health Organization, will be front and centre at the upcoming COP28 climate conference in Dubai. So will her father, John Kerry, in his capacity as the Biden administration's Special Climate Envoy. Vanessa Kerry discussed the immediate and future climate challenges facing the world in an interview with FRANCE 24's Marc Perelman.

Asked about her appointment as Special Envoy for Climate Change and Health, Vanessa Kerry explained that "the climate crisis is a health crisis" with "seven million people a year dying from air pollution".

"There's a very real opportunity for us to have a health-centered approach to climate change" and to protect "how we live, how we breathe, how we walk and what we can do in our lives", Kerry explained. In short, her appointment is "truly an opportunity to continue to flag the urgency of what we face".

According to Vanessa Kerry, what needs to happen after COP28 is "to stop suffering from a pandemic of poor and expedient choices. Leadership around this entire globe (...) has got to step up to this moment. We have got to have an immediate and just transition from fossil fuels where every decision we make is no longer increasing the greenhouse gas emissions but (...) is going to start to reverse that decision."

Screw you WHO. You have blood on your hands and are an America-hating political organization, not a 'health organization'.

You said nothing about China doing gain of function research that undoubtedly led to a pandemic. In fact, you put one of the principle people who funded that research and who promoted it (Peter Daszak) on the 'team' that 'inspected' the site of emergence in Wuhan. That's the equivalent of putting Hamas leadership on a team investigating the October 7th attacks in Israel.

You've said nothing about the Chinese government's involvement in a lab discovered in California that had Ebola and other pathogens in a freezer. Gee, I guess releasing Ebola in California isn't a significant health risk.

You push a political 'Climate Change' agenda, without acknowledging the very real negative impact your campaign against 'fossil fuels' will have on the health and quality of life of a huge proportion of the world population. Further, you concentrate ONLY on 'fossil fuels' as a contributor to atmospheric CO2 levels - ignoring the effects of other determinants that do not fit your anti-Western agenda (e.g. deforestation, enormous population growth in the non-Western world, etc.).

Why have you not come down on China, Mexico, and other nations for their role in allowing trafficking of fentanyl and other opioids? You don't think opioid addiction and overdose deaths are a health problem worthy of your attention?

etc. etc.

They want to reduce the Earth population to half a billion.
So they should be happy when millions are dying!

She is correct. The adherents of the climate crisis religion do suffer from mental illness and need help.
