Kerry concedes 'gap' in climate commitments
The Hill ^ | 10/14/2021 | ZACK BUDRYK

U.S. climate envoy John Kerry conceded there was likely to be a “gap” between the commitments nations make at an international climate summit in Glasgow next month and the emissions cuts that are necessary to prevent catastrophic global warming during an interview with The Associated Press.

Kerry said he was not seeking to downplay expectations for the event, and said the gap should be used to convince countries to go further.

“We will hopefully be moving very close to that…though there will be a gap and…we’ve got to be honest about the gap, and we have to use the gap as further motivation to continue to accelerate as fast as we can,” he told the AP.

Hey Kerry, the only gap is between your ears.

But what does Greta have to say about this gap? Greta normally takes the position, that no matter what has been done in this area, that it’s just not good enough.

Well, if a country makes a commitment and fails, they are either run by incompetents or lying bastids; or both. If someone running this sham show seems to believe any such commitments they are both.

Kerry was shown to be an Ahole for his behavior in VNam. Expect no improvement.

He’s wanted sky-high energy prices for years to reduce CO2. Now that he’s got them, what do the Dems do? Go begging to OPEC for more oil. Go to the oil companies and beg them to cut prices.

These people (especially Kerry) are absolutely SICK in the head and certifiably stupid. Did they think that magic pixie dust would really cure “global warming” at no cost or pain to people?

I’m sure Greta is in China giving Xi an angry frown an snarl.

LOL, yes, she will shout “How Dare You” at President Xi. Or shout the equivalent in Mandarin at him.

She sure gave Trump the evil eye at the UN a couple of years ago.

China is laughing so hard it might have a coronary.

All they need do to take over the world is absolutely nothing. And they will get paid for it, too.

He certainly is a hypocrite. After covid cabal are done with the United States, climate change and a carbon tax/VAT, will finish off what is left.

It is all for “see we are doing something” show. The Democrats love high energy prices and hope that they will continue.

They do it for show AND to keep flying private jets to these innumerable conferences in luxury resorts so they can endlessly jawbone about having “done something.” I detest these types of leeches on society.

Yep, I remember Kerry once said something along the lines of, how important people such as himself, need to travel by the hated jet airplanes, to get things done.

So he exempts himself from the restrictions he wants to impose on everyone else, because he is so damn important. Got it.

I wish the word hypocrite had more of a bad rep. Because the left are all a bunch of hypocrites.

Few people know this, but I read somewhere that Kerry was in Vietnam

Swift Boat Rear Admiral John F’ing Kerry has a large gap in his brain. He is just feeding his ego jetting around playing Mr. Know It All.

Kerry should fall in the gap never to be seen again

Kerry never disappoints. He is a ridiculous 360 fail and the only thing he ever did right was to marry a very rich woman. In this case he rationalizes that this fail will lead to even more success!

China is now strong enough to do what they DAMN WELL PLEASE, and, thankfully, that will destroy whatever credibility is left of these Socialists.

...but they won’t quit trying to take us down, because that is their ONLY goal.
