John Kerry and his climate-change objectives

We haven't seen or heard much of John Kerry in the last few months. He holds one of the most important jobs in the Biden administration but where has he been? Well, he has made an apearance in Japan and has been speaking with some degree of satisfaction about the steps that have been taken over the last year to tackle global carbon emissions. But as he said they still haven't gone far enough and now he is talking about the likelihood that global warming will increase by 1.7 Celsium about the pre-industrial levels instead of the 1.5 C which it is at present. That sounds pretty impressive but every digit upwards, however small, is going to have a serious if not severe impact in some parts of the world. We already know and feel the climate getting hotter even in countries where the climate is normally relatively benign, like in the United Kingdom, so that extra 0.2 Celsius Kerry refers to will bring changes, none of which will be welcome. I like John Kerry, he always seems a figure of substance and I wish we could hear more from him becaue if the Republicans win the 2024 presidential election we could end up with a new president who doesn't believe in all this stuff about the dangers we are facing with climate change, ie Donald Trump God help us. Then all the good work achieved by Joe Biden and his climate-chamge envoy John Kerry will be wasted.
