John Kerry: Trump's actions on climate change are 'profoundly dangerous' for planet
Former Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday called for the world to make a more concerted effort to combat climate change, saying that "if we fail, future generations will judge us all as failures, not just this president."
Kerry writes in an op-ed for The New York Times that he was recently struck by a statement journalist Bob Woodward made about President Trump.
"The president, [Woodward] said, 'makes decisions often without a factual basis.' This isn’t a mere personality quirk of the leader of the free world. It is profoundly dangerous for the entire planet," Kerry, who has repeatedly criticized Trump during his presidency, writes.
Kerry notes how ever since Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement, "those of us in the fight have worked to demonstrate that the American people are still in."
But the onetime presidential candidate argues that the test won't be if cities and states can make up for Trump's "rejection of reality."
