John Kerry caused controversies again. He referenced the war in Ukraine

John Kerry, the current and very first United States special presidential envoy for climate and former secretary of state, said that people "would feel better" about the Ukraine war if Russia emitted fewer greenhouse gases.

On Tuesday, March 5, John Kerry took part in the foreign press briefing, which occurred in Washington, D.C. During the talk with the media representatives, the United States special presidential envoy for climate said a few words about the war in Ukraine from the perspective of caring for the environment.

"If Russia wanted to show good faith, they could go out and announce what their reductions are going to be and make a greater effort to reduce emissions now. [...] Maybe that would open up the door for people to feel better about what Russia is choosing to do at this point in time," said Kerry, as quoted by Fox News.

"I believe that Russia has the ability to be able to make enormous changes if it really wanted to. I mean, if Russia has the ability to wage a war illegally and invade another country, they ought to be able to find the effort to be responsible on the climate issue," he added. Later on, Kerry underlined that because of Russian aggression towards Ukraine and the ongoing two-year war, the dialogue about the climate between Vladimir Putin's country and the United States is impossible for now.
