John Kerry, Biden’s Climate Czar, Steps Down
U.S. President Joe Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, is officially leaving his post.
During an interview with the Associated Press on Monday, 80-year-old Kerry expressed that he feels that he helped galvanize the world and brought more awareness to the “climate crisis.”
Kerry was said to be a “key player” in convincing President Barack Obama to sign the controversial Paris Climate Agreement.
While working as the climate envoy, Kerry traveled around the world on private jets while ironically pushing for countries to ditch oil, coal and gas. He also touted Biden as the ultimate champion of the “Green agenda.”
“By far the most recent, pullback was, just by far the more damaging because it was a complete withdrawal from this kind of effort,” Kerry stated. “And I think President Biden’s been able to make up for that very, very significantly. I mean, he signed the Paris Agreement the very day, within an hour or so of being sworn in as president. First act he did was to sign we’re back in the agreement.”
The former secretary of state’s last day in his White House position will be on Wednesday. He will then beginning working Biden’s presidential campaign full time.
Kerry will be replaced by top Biden aide John Podesta. Podesta also reportedly played a big role in getting green initiatives tagged onto the Inflation Reduction Act.

How has John Kerry’s tenure as Climate Czar contributed to raising awareness of the climate crisis?
John Kerry, the Climate Czar appointed by President Joe Biden, has announced his departure from his position. Kerry, who has been instrumental in raising awareness of the climate crisis, expressed his satisfaction with the progress made during his tenure.
During an interview with the Associated Press, the 80-year-old Kerry stated that he feels he has helped galvanize the world and bring attention to the urgent need to address the climate crisis. He also mentioned his role in persuading former President Barack Obama to sign the Paris Climate Agreement, which has been a globally recognized effort to combat climate change.
However, Kerry’s tenure has not been without controversy. As the climate envoy, he traveled extensively around the world on private jets, advocating for countries to shift away from fossil fuels. This has led to criticism of his hypocrisy in preaching about reducing carbon emissions while contributing to them through his own extensive air travel.
Despite these criticisms, Kerry praised President Biden for his swift action in rejoining the Paris Agreement shortly after taking office. Kerry described this move as a significant step towards undoing the damage caused by the previous administration’s withdrawal from the agreement.
Kerry’s last day in his position will be on Wednesday, after which he will fully dedicate himself to working on President Biden’s presidential campaign. He will be succeeded by John Podesta, a top aide to Biden who has also been actively involved in promoting green initiatives.
The departure of John Kerry marks both the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in the fight against climate change. As the world continues to grapple with the consequences of global warming, it remains to be seen how the Biden administration, under the leadership of John Podesta, will address this pressing issue.
