Will the world give the USA a chance to regain respect as a global climate leader? According to time, it depends on John Kerry’s diplomacy and how much “tangible support” the USA can offer.
Joe Biden Says the U.S. Will Lead on Climate. But First He Has to Regain World Leaders’ Trust
BY JUSTIN WORLAND NOVEMBER 24, 2020 8:23 PM EST
Joe Biden named former Secretary of State John Kerry to a new top position on global climate policy, a public step toward what the President-elect has promised will be a renaissance in American leadership on the issue.
Activists who hope climate change will play a central role in the new administration cheered the news, but both Kerry and Biden have their work cut out for them. After four years under Donald Trump, the Biden Administration inherits a badly bruised international reputation. Trump repeatedly denied the science of climate change, rolled back dozens of environmental and emissions-reduction regulations, and earned the derision of nearly 200 nations who co-signed the Paris Agreement on climate change when he announced the United States’s withdrawal from the pact six months after taking office.
…
To turn the page on the Trump era and re-establish the U.S. as a global leader on climate, Biden and Kerry must rapidly accelerate emissions-reduction policies domestically and offer tangible support to partner nations that are making progress abroad. Crucially, allies say, the U.S. will need to reengage the world with a recognition that Washington can no longer unilaterally dictate the terms of engagement. “We have to reenter this field, when we join our allies, with a great sense of humility,” says Gina McCarthy, the former Environmental Protection Agency head who is now the president of the Natural Resources Defense Council. “We have a great deal of trust that we have to rebuild across the world.”

Ah, humility. Let the feeding frenzy begin. I mean it is not like anyone in the USA needs the tax money Kerry and Biden apparently plan to ship to various United Nations climate initiatives, to make amends for Trump turning off the money tap.
On the one hand we have “election fraud” whackos, and on the other we have “climate change” whackos. Emotionalism is running rampant.
Griff strikes again. The lack of understanding of any physics is shown again. He does have one thing right that certain adjustments and proxies can mean anything. Just look at the 35 years of climate models that prove nothing except propaganda belief in the climate CO2 religion. Given the fact that the actual recorded temps (Just ask the liar Mr. Mann) for the last 100 years + have been erased and adjusted to prove the point of Global Warming/ Climate Change. Reality has no place in that religion. Who needs evidence. Must destroy the west for China and the UN. They want all our wealth for themselves.
If the EIA (Energy Information Agency) is correct, the US CO2 emissions are at 1980 levels. So, F. O.
Does anybody really know what “Time” is? Does anybody care?

Time – –
(a) I think there is a magazine with that name; or
(b) it might be a continuum that is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future; or
(c) a word that when concatenated with another helps you function in the real world; such as “Beng, it is past your bedtime.”
Hmmmm, Time magazine? . . . hey, isn’t that the rag that some time ago appointed a child, named Greta Thunderberg or something like that, as a “Person of the Year” for doing something that was reportedly important?
I’m guessing that John Kerry is now in the lead be Time’s next “Person of the Year”, for whatever that’s worth, as they try to stay relevant to the climate crisis™ meme, despite dwindling subscriptions.
Interesting that Gina McCarthy is mentioned.
Some will recall that this former EPA head tried to avoid FOIA requests by adopting her dog’s name in official emails.
Actually, this could really blow up in the Dems faces from the combination of short lived stimulus boom and bust, falling dollar, rising import prices all before the mid term elections. They would be in continuous stimulus mode while things start to fall apart for investment and confidence. Some well placed tone deafness by Kerry and many others in that toxic environment could backfire much more than simply going back into silent mode.

John Kerry, the dolt and the failure:
So, of course, per bureaucratic rules of survival, monumental political failures need to be recycled into other positions of power so they can continue to display their ineptitude at public expense.
All hail our new Climate czar appointee!
And, BTW, terrific choice, Joe . . . I mean with Kerry’s extensive experience and scientific knowledge about climate, and all that stuff.
From the article: “Activists who hope climate change will play a central role in the new administration cheered the news, but both Kerry and Biden have their work cut out for them. After four years under Donald Trump, the Biden Administration inherits a badly bruised international reputation.”
Says who? The Left? Who cares what the Left says, other than other leftists?
The Left always presumes to speak for everyone, even other nations. It stems from them being so arrogant.
From the article: “To turn the page on the Trump era and re-establish the U.S. as a global leader on climate, Biden and Kerry must ”
Slow down a little bit. I heard Trump say tonight they have the evidence to prove massive voter fraud. So the page may not be turning.
I’m keeping the popcorn handy.
There have been a lot of “fair-weather friends” who have exposed themselves over the past few weeks. Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for them if Trump stays around as president for four more years.
I wouldn’t be able to stop laughing.
