Kerry on Biden climate pledge: 'We had to prove that we were serious'
White House climate envoy John Kerry acknowledged Thursday the skepticism he has encountered from foreign allies about the U.S. commitment to fighting climate change in the wake of the Trump administration’s decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
“We had to restore America’s credibility. We had to prove that we were serious. And I think today does that in many ways,” said Kerry.
The former secretary of state then lamented Donald Trump’s decision to exit the Paris accord, which Kerry himself had signed.
"Regrettably, without any facts, without any science, without any rationale that would be considered reasonable, the former president decided to pull out,” Kerry said.
