WELLINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday the Obama administration would do everything it could to implement a global agreement to combat climate change before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
Kerry made the comments during a visit to New Zealand just before setting off to Marrakesh, Morocco to take part in climate talks between 200 nations.
Donald Trump, who calls global warming a hoax and has promised to quit the Paris Agreement, was considering ways to bypass a theoretical four-year procedure for leaving the accord, according to a source on Trump’s transition team.
Kerry declined to speculate on what Trump might do about the Paris Agreement and noted that there was sometimes a difference between campaigning and governing.
But the top American diplomat was clear he thought further action to prevent climate change should be a priority.
“The evidence is mounting in ways that people in public life should not dare to avoid accepting as a mandate for action,” Kerry told journalists at a press conference in Wellington with New Zealand Prime Minister John Key.
“Until January 20 when this administration is over, we intend to do everything possible to meet our responsibility to future generations to be able to address this threat to life itself on the planet.” read more
YOU’VE HAD 8 YEARS!! GO SLEEP IT OFF FOR THE NEXT 2 MOS!!
Any deal Congress doesnt approve isn’t worth shit! Go screw yourself Kerry!
So sez Monsieur Jon Gigolo Metrosexual Goodhair, the Not-so-Swift-Boat, Medal-Tossing, Flip-Flopping (mostly flopping), precognitive Global Warming metrosexual meteorologist, Don’t You Know Who I Am, Live-Shot Cabana-Boy, living off his second wife’s first husband’s fortune, and the Politically Correct, Easter Island fashion model with Churchill Downs Syndrome, who couldn’t pour the piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel…
How many of these pin-headed, arrogant, globalist fools are going to be in the same place at the same time?
just wondering…………
I really enjoy Mr. Finks run on sentences.
At the VFW you have urinal cake choices, Hanoi Jane or Secretariat.
Fear mongering, that is all they have left outside their paid arsenal of losers demonstrating to everyone how necessary electing DJT was.
@OpenTheDoor – In the heat of the night they calls me Mister Fink… 🙂
Thanks man!
Nice to know there is a choice of urinal cakes: Hanoi Jane or Secretariat.
Whadya do if ya have to drop an Obama?
The liberals never stop pushing.
Just try to imagine if their efforts were for the improvement of mankind how much better off this world would be.
@Mr Fink, I understand they are trying to get some military grade TP, you know the stuff with splinters in it, with the x prez printed. Maybe now they can find someone willing to supply it.
The company won’t have to worry about the EPA, OSHA or the IRS now.
If the Progs want to know why they lost, visit any VFW, AL hall on Friday night, most there are somebody’s grandparent or parent. They been tired of this shit for 50 years.
Bastard just missed the earthquake? Or maybe he caused it.
@ Unruly, that was a shudder of relief Gaia gave.
Has John Kerry been diagnosed with Stage 4 ass cancer yet?
When Kerry betrayed the US in the 1970’s, it obviously became easier for him to embrace Obama’s treason and attempted destruction of our Nation.
@OpenTheDoor – good deal on the TP! I never pictured Progs as hard-asses anyway!
This damn TRAITOR needs justice served on his lame ass. I’m thinking a .45 sized hole between the eyes would do nicely. 😡 Just how many TRAITORS does Obongo employ?
Jerry Manderin, any cancer he gets is going to be ass cancer.
Umm, unless the US Senate ratified something Trump can undo whatever 0bama has done with his pen.
Only an Imbecile would sign a treaty with the USA until after Trump takes office.
If they get one
LAME duck!
I’m pretty sure they can’t do anything permanent now unless the Senate folds. I recall when Bush left office that he didn’t sign anything or commit the US to any agreements but rather left these for Obama to either sign or not. Bush didn’t think it would be proper to saddle the incoming President with rushed bills or agreements that he would have to live with but had no input. For all of Bush’s faults he was a class act as far as exiting the WhiteHouse was concerned.
Thurston Howell III ‘s retarded son wants to keep playing save the world. I guess he still has time to get James Taylor to sarinade the street scum protesters before he’s out of work.
@ MadJack Were you thinking of something like this? http://www.heralddeparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/buzzi2.jpg
These comments are absolutely crass and crazy!! Where are this people from and why do they not take climate change seriously?? Why do they want to label “John Kerry” anything short of a HERO for trying to save our planet? Grow up, kiddies!! You’re the ones who thru your ignorance and negativity are ruining our world — not John Kerry.
Secretariat! Now that’s funny!
@Ellen, your horse lost, tear the ticket in half and get a life.
We don’t agree cause we don’t believe the MSM at all, if you do after your nose being rubbed in the lies, pity on you.
Go poop some place else, eh?
