John Kerry: Ukraine’s War Contributes to Climate Change
Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry: War in Ukraine Exacerbating Climate Change
During a recent interview, Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry made a bold claim that the war in Ukraine is not only causing devastation and loss of life, but also contributing to the release of greenhouse gases that are fueling climate change.
Kerry’s remarks came as President Joe Biden traveled to Windsor Castle in the U.K. to participate in a ceremony for King Charles III and host a forum focused on clean energy strategies, as reported by the Washington Examiner.
Speaking on MSNBC while in England, Kerry emphasized, “Lots of parts of the world are exacerbating the problem right now.”
He further explained, “When you have bombs going off, and you have damage to septic tanks or power centers, etc., you have an enormous release of greenhouse gas, of methane, you know, all of the family of greenhouse gases. And the result is it’s adding to the problem.”
Kerry clarified that he is not suggesting that the fight in Ukraine is not important. He acknowledged the significance of the values at stake and the global importance of the conflict. However, he highlighted the ancillary impacts that arise as a result of the war.
Public Reaction
Kerry’s remarks sparked widespread mockery online.
Attorney Will Chamberlain expressed his disagreement, stating, “John Kerry seems to think that the worst thing about the Russia-Ukraine war is the release of greenhouse gases. I disagree. I think it’s the death and destruction.”
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley took to Twitter, saying, “John Kerry tells us the problem with the war in Ukraine is the increase in greenhouse gases? You can’t make this stuff up. The end of the Biden (Harris) administration can’t come fast enough.”
Radio host Gerry Callahan sarcastically tweeted, “The problem with the war in Ukraine, says decrepit con man John Kerry, is that bombs are damaging septic tanks and exacerbating the made-up climate crisis. Wait till he hears about all the dead women and children.”
It is clear that Kerry’s perspective on the war in Ukraine has generated significant controversy and debate.
