Kerry Says He's Become 'Militant' About Climate Policy, Helping Explain This Radical Comment at UN Summit

You may remember the headline comparisons from 2019 to 2022 out of Germany about energy—the earlier ones detailed how the country was closing all of its coal-fired power plants to rely mainly on renewable energy. Then world events got in their way when Russia cut natural gas deliveries to Europe. Where did the country turn then? Back to its “most reliable” fossil fuel. The side-by-side comparisons, while comical, were no laughing matter for the people suffering under such climate extremism, which is apparently where climate czar John Kerry wants the world to be. 

At the United Nations’ annual climate change summit, COP28, in Dubai on Sunday, Kerry, who traveled there by plane, admitted he’s becoming “more and more militant” about climate policy and called for coal-fired plants to be eradicated worldwide. 

“The reality is the climate crisis and the health crisis are one and the same," Kerry said, pointing to a recent study that found coal "doubles the number of deaths over other sources of air-carried pollution.”

"Now, we don't need that necessarily to tell us we ought to be transitioning out of coal," continued Kerry. "There shouldn't be any more coal fired power plants permitted anywhere in the world. That's how you can do something for health. And the reality is that we're not doing it."

Kerry said he's becoming more militant about the issue because he cannot “understand how adults who are in positions of responsibility can be avoiding responsibility for taking away those things that are killing people on a daily basis.”

During the summit, Kerry also said the U.S. is joining 56 other countries in the Power Past Coal Alliance.

“We will be working to accelerate unabated coal phase-out across the world, building stronger economies and more resilient communities,” he said in a statement. “The first step is to stop making the problem worse: stop building new unabated coal power plants.”

Meanwhile, China is marching full steam ahead with its expansion of coal power.
