He definitely has his priorities. US climate czar John Kerry said that he is very worried about a Russian invasion of Ukraine because it is likely to distract the world from talking about climate change and would produce “massive emissions.”
“Massive emissions and consequences to the way – but equally important, 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,” told the BBC.
“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. 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,” he added.
Kerry’s comments weren’t a one-off, either. He made similar comments to GZERO Media, saying that a war will have a “monumental impact on the ability and willingness of people to do what’s necessary,” to cut global emissions, adding that it will be “very tough for the climate agenda, there’s no question about it.”
Hard to believe, but Vladimir Putin was indeed probably not thinking of the climate when he decided to invade Ukraine. For shame.

This guy is nuts. LOL

How slow can one get?
Vial PIG!
Buy Heinz ketchup!
This guy is a complete retard
And to think that this piece of garbage was once Secretary of State!! It’s astonishing! What a decrepit individual.
This guy should be sent to a mental institution for a long time.
Kerry: “You’re going to lose people’s focus……”
Never mind when there’s war you’re going to lose people. But that’s irrelevant. It’s a bigger tragedy to lose people’s focus than actual lives.
Because if you lose focus, Siberia might thaw. And then, where will Putin set up a Gulag for people who decide, against their better judgment, to not want to lose their lives?
According to this lowliest dimwit… “People need to do what’s necessary”… and war might make them want to fight for their lives instead of for climate change.
And Putin (and the rest of the world) were probably not focusing on such a monumental matter. Hard to believe. For shame.
I think the problem is this guy is taking up too much oxygen.
this Is what death looks like when you lie, this is what a jew looks like when he leaves the fold….we are not involved in this fight or war…we can’t fight our own people….we will be punished….G-d started this….
Tell, Kerry that it is OK, Putin has agreed to drop only eco friendly bombs and use bullets that can be re cycled…..
Perfect jerk for the Bidet administration…..

One-track mind. So stupid.
I thought it was air conditioners that posed a greater threat than ISIS? Aha. As the lurch flys on his jumbo jets (no mask required) and gets picked up in gas guzzling SUV’s. Yeh, this duffus is really concerned about climate change/global warming/ozone layer/caribou mating season/plastic bags/etc… Typical privileged WHITE elitist pig. Do as I say not as I do.
BOTH world wars resulted in global cooling, so he should be a super-hawk
Why is this scum still walking around scott free lining his pockets with American Dollars?
