US special climate envoy John Kerry admitted his flying three-day trip to mega polluter Beijing to discuss climate change was a failure with no agreement with China to slash carbon pollution.
China is the world’s single largest producer of greenhouse gases.
Kerry disclosed “it’s going to take a little bit more work to break new ground” in negotiations between the world’s two biggest greenhouse gas polluters.
According to Politico, Kerry said the two nations vowed to continue meeting despite there being no agreement.
Vice President Han Zheng reportedly told Kerry that addressing climate change was “an important aspect of China-U.S. cooperation.”
He said it must proceed “on the basis of U.S. attendance to core issues that concern both parties, fully engaging and exchanging ideas,” The Associated Press reported.
Ties between the US and China are at a historic low under the Biden administration amid disputes over tariffs, human rights, and China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea.
Last week, Kerry said that for people to live a “better quality of life,” they must live under strict green new deal-style climate mandates.
This is not complicated! It is the way we have chosen to propel our vehicles, heat our homes, light our factories and businesses,” Kerry said.
“We have two choices: you either capture the emissions, or you don’t create them in the first place,” Kerry added.
Kerry said people can only have a better quality of life if fossil fuels are eliminated completely.
“[Climate] is not something where everybody has to go, ‘Oh my God, I don’t want to do this because it’s scary as hell and because we’re not gonna live the way we did.’ No! We will have a better quality of life!” John Kerry said.
However, the new climate mandates John Kerry is talking about do not apply to the private jet-setting elites; it applies to the peasants.
