What a maroon - this is something that has marked both Hillary's and Kerry's tenure as Secretary of State. When anyone asks them to name their accomplishments, they point to how many miles they have traveled.
From ABC News:
John Kerry Says He'll Continue With Global Warming Efforts
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday he will continue his efforts to implement the Paris Agreement on global warming until the day President Barack Obama leaves office on Jan. 20.
Speaking in New Zealand following a trip to Antarctica, Kerry said his administration would continue to do everything possible to meet its responsibility to future generations.
Kerry has long championed climate action but now his legacy is under threat. President-elect Donald Trump has called climate change a hoax and said he would "cancel" U.S. involvement in the landmark Paris deal.
A bit more:
But Kerry appeared to take a swipe at Trump when he listed some of the ways in which global warming could already be seen. He said that globally, there were more fires, floods and damaging storms, and sea levels were rising.
Absolute bullshit. There have been fewer fires. California had a normal wildfire season even with the drought. The flooding comes from rivers and canals that used to be dredged on a regular basis but are now not maintained thanks to the EPA. Sea levels are rising very gradually - about one inch every 100 years. Some coastlines are sinking - this is what people are measuring when they talk about "sea level rise".
Kerry beclowns the office. Must be nice to be able to fly to so many interesting places and stay in so many cushy digs on someone elses dime.
