Well, of course he does, since the Cult of Climastrology is based on authoritarian government, hence the lack of concern by John Kerry over China and Russia. The cult doesn’t care about human rights abuses or anything
Kerry: U.S. must work with China and Russia on fighting climate change
Despite mounting tensions between the United States and its rivals China and Russia, President Biden’s climate envoy, John Kerry, told Yahoo News that the U.S. must work with those adversaries on combating climate change.
“We have to work with China, we have to work with India,” Kerry said during an interview Friday at Yahoo News’ New York offices. “We even have to find a way, ultimately, if we can resolve the war in Ukraine, to work with Russia, because Russia is a huge emitter. And any one of these countries has an ability — if it doesn’t move to change its energy base — to make it much harder for the rest of the world, if not impossible, to reach the goals we’ve set.”
China is by far the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, which scientists have established are causing global temperatures to rise. The United States is the second-largest emitter, followed by India and Russia. But China, with a population of 1.4 billion people and as the world’s second-largest economy, towers over the others. Its emissions are more than double those of the U.S., and Kerry echoed United Nations climate change experts who say that the world will be unable to avert catastrophic climate change unless China takes more significant steps to curb emissions.
“President Biden empowered me to reach out to China and work with China, which we have done for two years, and with some effect,” Kerry said. “Not as much as we need, ultimately.”
Meanwhile, China permitted two new coal plants every week in 2022. And kept up their human rights abuses. Russia invaded Ukraine. India is building more coal plants, and cozying up to Russia for their energy needs, ignoring sanctions. Climate cultists will ignore everything in the face of their Beliefs.
Russia is the world’s second largest producer of natural gas, and its primary export; even ignoring the war, why would Russia make itself poorer by refusing to use one of its primary natural resources?
China has the world’s fourth largest coal reserves, and is the world’s largest coal producer as well as world’s largest coal user; they actually have to import coal to meet demand. While it certainly makes sense for the Chinese to use other energy sources to reduce the amount they must import, the easiest solution is to convert to natural gas, giving Russia a larger market for natural gas exports.
In effect, the distinguished Mr Kerry is asking the world’s first and fourth largest emitters of greenhouse gases to throw away a significant part of their natural resource wealth. Does anyone think that they’ll really be interested in doing so?
