President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, warned Wednesday that Russia’s war against Ukraine is going to distract the world from the climate change crisis and produce "massive emissions" that will negatively impact the globe.
"I'm concerned about Ukraine because of the people of Ukraine and because of the principles that are at risk, in terms of international law and trying to change boundaries of international law by force," Kerry, the U.S. special presidential envoy for climate, said in an interview on BBC Arabic, MEMRI reported Wednesday. "I thought we lived in a world that had said no to that kind of activity. And I hope diplomacy will win."
"But massive emissions consequences to the war – but equally importantly, you're going to lose people's focus, you're going to lose certainly big country attention because they will be diverted and I think it could have a damaging impact," he continued. "So, you know, I think hopefully President Putin would realize that in the northern part of his country, they used to live on 66% of the nation that was over frozen land."
"Now it's thawing, and his infrastructure is at risk," he added. "And the people of Russia are at risk. And so I hope President Putin will help us to stay on track with respect to what we need to do for the climate."

The climate has changed since before we puny humans arrived. It will change long after we wipe ourselves out. I’m more worried about feckless leaders who can’t tell the difference between a thought from 50 years ago and pudding.
This is Coup 2.

Even I didn’t expect something quite that dumb out of Kerry, he is a constant surprise of stupidity.
I almost forgot he existed.
Look forward to the next time I forget he exist,again.

You can’t make this kind of moronic comment up. War is destructive and produces of CO2. If this idiot believes that CO2 is destroying the planet, he should have avoided war by supporting Trump.
He’s worried nuke fall out will kill off covid.
