BAKU, Azerbaijan — U.S. climate envoy John Podesta urged governments to keep faith in the country’s promise to combat global warming, saying President-elect Donald Trump can slow, not stop, the transition from fossil fuels when he returns to office in January.
“For those of us dedicated to climate action, last week’s outcome in the United States is obviously bitterly disappointing,” Podesta said at the summit.
“But what I want to tell you today is that while the United States federal government, under Donald Trump, may put climate action on the back burner, the work to contain climate change is going to continue in the United States.”
Apart from the election of Trump as president of the world’s biggest economy, the talks in Baku are vying for attention with economic concerns and wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
That complicates the summit’s ambition to resolve the priority agenda item — a deal for up to $1 trillion in annual climate finance for developing countries, replacing a target of $100 billion.

Be honest with us, Mr Podesta. How does spending more money reduce globull warming?
This is one of the greatest snake oil schemes ever concocted.

“But what I want to tell you today is that while the United States federal government, under Donald Trump, may put climate action on the back burner, the work to contain climate change is going to continue in the United States.” It should be taken off the stove and thrown in the garbage right on top of Podesta's head.

I agree. They will accomplish the same amount of science-based, useful work after the election as they have been doing for years.

US climate envoy says work pseudo-science and climate fear porn will continue despite Trump's return. Fixed.

“John Podesta? it’s a grifter paradise the Climate change scam.”
And “grifter” probably is the best thing about him. Pedophile trumps grifter every time when it comes to character flaws and crimes.

Podesta has no influence to sell anymore, and that is his sole stock-in-trade.
