Guest essay by Eric Worrall
US Secretary of State John Kerry has vowed to fight climate change up to the very last day of his term of office – by flying to lots of photogenic climate hotspots, and demanding we ordinary people cut back on our profligate wasteful lifestyle choices.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday he will continue his efforts to implement the Paris Agreement on global warming until the day President Barack Obama leaves office on Jan. 20.
Speaking in New Zealand following a trip to Antarctica, Kerry said his administration would continue to do everything possible to meet its responsibility to future generations.
Kerry has long championed climate action but now his legacy is under threat. President-elect Donald Trump has called climate change a hoax and said he would “cancel” U.S. involvement in the landmark Paris deal.
…
“The evidence is mounting in ways that people in public life should not dare to avoid accepting as a mandate for action,” Kerry said.

I don’t know how much Kerry will accomplish in his final days to promote climate change, but I sure envy his amazing taxpayer funded round the world travel itinerary.
I will be SO happy when I don’t have to listen to the nonsense that pours out of the Obama administration on so many topics. This being one of the worst. Kerry is a flake…..no doubt his phone is boiling hot from calls from Al Gore and other rent seekers.
Amen
“by flying to lots of photogenic climate hotspots, and demanding we ordinary people cut back on our profligate wasteful lifestyle choices.” What he is doing is demonstrating profligate wastefull lefestyle choices that he himself is making. He should instead practice what he preaches and stay in Wshington and clear out his office and make it ready for the next secretary of state. All he is doing is wasting fossil fuel and the tax payer’s money. The reality is that the climate change we are experiencing is caused by the sun and the oceans over which Mankind has no control There is no real evidence that CO2 has any effect on climate and plenty of scientific reasoning to support the idea that the the climate sensivity of CO2 is really zero.
This talk given by Tony Heller in Sydney on his recent visit to Australia to speak with Malcolm Roberts on climate alarmism gives a good guide as to where Trump will go on climate and the EPA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkzQWCDl5eo
Imagine being a sad appendage to an heiress AND a bouffant.
Just wondering how you Americans feel about Kerry’s very kind offer to solve Australia’s refugee problem by accepting the refugees held in Australian detention centres into the US.
Obama probably handled that problem personally. He likes bringing people to the U.S. who don’t fit in.
Why don’t you chaps just feed them Cane Toads, for Lunch and then send them on their way. No need for us to get involved.

It seem that AccuWeather is on board with John (Nestlé) Kerry. “Storm with wind, snow and rain looms for central US next week” http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/storm-with-wind-snow-and-rain-looms-for-central-us-next-week/ar-AAkbqf5?ocid=iehp
I read the article expecting a “Big Storm”.
This is just another reminder of the global warming fighters’ hypocrisy. They talk the talk, but when it comes to walking the walk by buying electric cars, installing solar roof panels, utilizing public transit, renouncing air travel, lowering their home temperatures in winter and raising them in summer, etc.—that’s for other people.
People like John Kerry are still delusional over dangerous man-made global warming. They continue to live in their mixed up world of make-believe. After January 20, 2017 they will all become irrelevant.
About 70 more sleeps and Kerry can save the planet on his own time instead of flying around to climate conferences ruining the USA brand . The USA has absolutely wasted two key positions on pay to play and the great global warming swindle .
Trump needs to stop the appointment of such politicians on such important assignments .
$$ billions of tax payer debt has been wasted on propping up the grant dependant donors of the
Democrats .
Drain The Swamp and stop the gravy train to lobbyists and high risk business pals of Democrats .
Trump will save hundreds of $$ billions with his no tolerance for the complete BS wasted spending of USA government .
I hope his final flight is to Pyongyang.
This is the real meaning of “Spooky Action at a Distance.”
OK Eric. Fair call on having this post. A very expensive way to promote climate change action.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday he will continue his efforts to implement the Paris Agreement on global warming until the day President Barack Obama leaves office on Jan. 20.”
I’ll bet it works too. The world won’t warm an iota between now and Jan 20th. Good for you, John. You can go home now.
I’m all in favor of Johny continuing to implement the Paris agreement. He can use all that Heinz money to do it.

Sorry about that, apparently I was offline WAY too long to remember how to post:

It’s comforting to know that when Kerry’s uber junket to Antarctica etc.is over he will return to a Washington DC that has no use for him.
For “no use” read “the start of John Kerry’s 2020 election bid”…
Kerry was “too busy” to meet the Australian foreign minister……..it seems he had to save Antarctica first, while piling up a few frequent flyer points.
