During a recent MSNBC interview, climate envoy John Kerry managed to make even the war in Ukraine about climate change, stressing the “enormous release of greenhouse gas” due to the conflict.
(He’s still cruising around on that private jet, though.)
“Lots of parts of the world are exacerbating the problem right now. But when you have bombs going off and you have damage to septic tanks or to power centers, etc. —you have an enormous release to greenhouse gas, of methane…a whole family of greenhouse gases,” Kerry says.
“And the result is it’s adding to the problem. Believe me, the fight in Ukraine is a fight that we have to make, that the world has to make. The values at stake are enormously important to all of us. So I’m not suggesting in any fashion that this isn’t a fight we shouldn’t be involved in, but I am saying there are ancillary impacts as a result of it.”

Kerry also stressed the record-breaking heat the world is experiencing.
“The climate crisis is growing by the day,” Kerry says. “All around the world there are record-breaking days…it’ll be the hottest year. And we all know that because the science is telling us and because Mother Earth is responding by telling us exactly what’s going on.”
