It is unclear how much he is paid or who is on his office\u2019s staff \u2014 which is odd, because the United States taxpayer is footing the bill for his travel and salary. After the Boston Herald <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/2022\/03\/11\/u-s-senator-slams-john-kerry-for-keeping-climate-office-top-secret\/\">was told<\/a> by the government to submit a Freedom of Information Act request to find out that information, Alaska Republican Senator Dan Sullivan is demanding answers.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Boston radio legend Howie Carr interviewed Sullivan on his daily radio show. Carr informed the senator that Kerry\u2019s office told the Herald \u2014 where Carr also writes a column \u2014 that they would have to submit a FOIA request and could expect to hear back by 2024 to find out how much money Kerry is taking in from government coffers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat? \u2026 That should be public. My salary is online,\u201d Sullivan responded. \u201cThe Secretary of State\u2019s is online, and the president is, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the paper, the State Department, which oversees the mysterious climate office, felt that the paper\u2019s inquiry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/2022\/03\/11\/u-s-senator-slams-john-kerry-for-keeping-climate-office-top-secret\/\">did not meet the standards<\/a> for an expedited response:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The State Department FOIA office \u2014 which also covers the climate office \u2014 said the Herald\u2019s request \u201cdoes not demonstrate a \u2018compelling need\u2019 for the requested information. Therefore, this Office denies your request for expedited processing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sullivan also told Carr that Kerry\u2019s presence on the world stage in light of the war in Ukraine is doing the country a disservice, especially when comparing the immediate threat of war with potential climate disaster:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s almost getting embarrassing to try to bring a moral equivalent of his job right now to the carnage and brutality and horrendous suffering happening in Ukraine,\u201d Sullivan, a former Marine, added. \u201cI think people cringe when they hear this and it just shows how out of touch\u201d Kerry is.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/not-a-joke-john-kerry-is-worried-war-in-ukraine-will-distract-world-leaders-from-climate-change\">recently reported<\/a>, in late February, Kerry told the media that the bigger impact from Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s military invasion of Ukraine could be the effect that it has on the environment, as well as world leaders\u2019 focus on climate change:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cI thought we lived in a world that had said no to that kind of activity. And I hope diplomacy will win,\u201d he stated.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Kerry continued, shifting gears to discuss the true threat facing the world today \u2014 in his mind anyway \u2014 climate change.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBut it could have a profound negative impact on the climate obviously,\u201d Kerry said about looming war with Russia,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/john-kerry-russia-ukraine-war-climate-change\">per<\/a>\u00a0Fox News. \u201cYou have a war and obviously you\u2019re going to have massive emissions consequences to the war. But equally important, you\u2019re going to lose people\u2019s focus, you\u2019re going to lose certainly big country attention because they will be diverted and I think it could have a damaging impact.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But is seems that when the focus is turned on Kerry and his climate-related expenditures, his office wants the focus off of him and on something else. So, as the Herald put it, \u201cKerry\u2019s team, and the pay and titles, remain hidden from the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
