Former Secretary of State John Kerry claims “people are going to die” due to President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the 2016 Paris climate agreement.
“People are going to die because of the decision Donald Trump made,” the top Obama-era official told The Guardian in an interview released Friday. “My kids and my grandkids are going to face a difficult world because of what Donald Trump has done.”
While Kerry has deep regrets over President Trump exiting the climate deal, he says he feels “better than a lot of people think” about the agreement.
The former secretary of state is hopeful the other 194 nations who are still signed on to the deal will work together in combating climate change.
During the interview, Kerry also criticized the Trump administration for pulling out of another agreement he helped negotiate: Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly referred to as the Iran nuclear deal.
The Islamic Republic is still in talks with British, French, and Russian officials on how to salvage the agreement, Kerry told the outlet.
“I’m sorry for the world,” he said. “I’m sorry for my country, which looks ridiculous. Look, I’ve known all my life that this is a tough business, that politics is hard – that there are ups and down [sic] and if you personalize them you’re never going to survive.”
Asked whether he will run for president in 2020, Kerry, who ran unsuccessfully against then-president George W. Bush in 2004, said he is still considering a potential bid.
“I haven’t ruled it out – I’m just going to think quietly about whether I think it’s… necessary. Whether I feel I can bring something to the table that’s essential, that somebody else can’t,” he said. “I’ve got to see what my friend Joe Biden does, I’ve got to see what Mike Bloomberg does.”
“There’s only so much space for genuine, capable candidates. Do I think I’m capable? Sure – I thought I was very capable and ready to be president 14 years ago, and came within one state of being it,” he added.
In a September tweet, President Trump mocked a possible run by Kerry, saying he would be “so lucky” if the failed presidential candidate would run against him in 2020.
“I see that John Kerry, the father of the now terminated Iran deal, is thinking of running for President,” he tweeted. “I should only be so lucky – although the field that is currently assembling looks really good – FOR ME!”

This is the same nit-wit who said Air Coolers most dangerous this ISIS radicals and now he says this line of malarkey and coming from someone who hunted quail with a rifle Now what else will this mealy mouthed little Dip-Wad say Scary Kerry with the mind of ant
People are dying now, because of high energy prices. Last year the U.K. recorded 41,000 deaths where cold temperatures lead to deaths. The old and very poor could not afford the electrical costs to heat their homes. The Green Energy requirements of the Global Warming Alarmists have lead to higher and higher electrical rates as they shut down the cheapest form of electrical generation COAL. By the way CO2 is plant food we need it to survive.
We’re all going to die. Thanks to our high standard of living, later than sooner. Our prosperity owes nothing to Green energy . It’s a drag.
I say that scary Kerri has the traits of a sociopath:
Profile of the Sociopath
Glibness and Superficial Charm.
Manipulative and Conning. They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. …
Grandiose Sense of Self. …
Pathological Lying. …
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt. …
Shallow Emotions. …
Incapacity for Love.
Need for Stimulation.
Where’s the ‘Swift Boat’ folks when they’re needed. He was judged to be a pathological liar years ago. If he recommends a course of action, the exact opposite is the thing to do…..
And remember this nit-wit once ran for President for the Stupid Jackass Party(LIBERAL DEMOCRAT)just read the book UNFIT FOR COMMAND it includes photo of Kerry and Hanoi Jane
