John Kerry Replaced as Biden’s Top Climate Diplomat: WH Confirms New ‘Climate Ally’ John Podesta Will Take Role

John Kerry has been replaced as Joe Biden’s top climate diplomat.

The onetime presidential candidate and former U.S. Secretary of State announced his decision on the X platform, adding that Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager John Podesta would replace him in the role.

“We’ve made historic progress these last three years and I know that, in his new role as [President] Biden’s Senior Advisor for International Climate Policy, John Podesta will continue to grow the momentum from Glasgow, Sharm el-Sheikh, and Dubai,” Kerry wrote.

“John Podesta has been a longtime climate ally and advocate,” he continued. “He knows the issue and he’s worked with NGOs and Administrations over a long period of time.”

Kerry, who frequently travels on private jets around the world to lecture developing countries on the dangers of climate change, cited Podesta’s knowledge and experience of climate-related issues as justification for giving him the role.

“I had the pleasure of working with him during the Obama Administration, where he was a critical partner in our China climate engagement, and during the Biden Administration, where he has been engaged in the critical responsibility of implementing the Inflation Reduction Act,” Kerry explained.

“He has also conducted track-two dialogues as a private citizen, which has given him a strong foundation in the global challenges of the climate crisis. He will bring important expertise to the work ahead, particularly in respect to the down-to-earth challenges of implementing COP28.”

Kerry was appointed as U.S. special presidential envoy for climate in January 2021, a position that was created by Biden to show his administration’s commitment to fighting so-called global warming.

In a statement, the White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients praised Kerry’s dedication, although failed to mention any concrete or tangible achievements during his tenure.

“In three years, Secretary Kerry has tirelessly trekked around the world — bringing American climate leadership back from the brink and marshalling countries around the world to take historic action to confront the climate crisis,” Zients said, according to Fox News.

“We need to keep meeting the gravity of this moment, and there is no one better than John Podesta to make sure we do. John has — and will continue to be — at the helm of driving the implementation of the most significant climate law in history.”


 

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
