Andrea Mitchell is joined by John Kerry, Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and former Secretary of State, following the release of the UN Climate Change Report. Secy. Kerry says, “what we have to do is recognize the reality of what the science is.” He continues, “I am actually optimistic in the sense that the bright side of this is there are millions of jobs to be created in building the new technologies” which are better for the environment as “it’s not a lack of capacity, it’s a lack of p

If the electricity for electric cars comes from a power plant that runs on natural gas , then it makes more sense to convert our cars to natural gas.
All of the country’s electrical needs could be handled by solar and wind right now. When that happens, there will be no need to use fossil fuels for power plants or automobiles.
No, it doesn’t. How did you come up with that??
Well, no. No matter how efficient you could make a natural gas burning engine for vehicles, a power plant would be many times more efficient, thus reducing overall consumption per person. However, it is still best to somehow eliminate any energy from burning, as the burning of natural gas still releases carbon dioxide (a known greenhouse gas) and heat.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel.
@Trumpocalypse According to who? Solar, and wind are not anywhere near meeting our electrical needs, even on a good day.
EXCEPT if you own private jets. Or buy 12 million dollar house at sea level. Gore better call Obama.
Stop flying around the world for meetings if you want to be taken seriously as a climate change Envoy Mr Kerry. You and all the other leaders could do your business from home.
Donald Trump used the US Air Force One taxpayers money to go to Trump rallies. Shut up.
@Richard MacLean This is not a political statement you fool. This is about stopping emissions and flying across the world with a big party is not necessary so why don’t you stop making everything political and grow up you child.
@Richard MacLean difference is Drumpf was not preaching about limiting fossil fuel usage.
Yes let’s take environmental advice from somebody who flies everywhere in a private jet.
Maybe he should swim?
@John Paul Pistorio maybe he should refrain from flying in a private jet……
If he’s so worried about carbon emissions….🤷
If you’re not calling out china you’re not doing jack .
3:33 there it is said.
John stop flying your private jet around if you are so worriedj
Stop traveling around using ICE vehicles…
It’s part of a natural cycle, nothing humans can do will change what’s coming. Kerry is just playing his part in the stage show folks.
Sorry, but you’re sadly mistaken … this is not a natural cycle … there is a tremendous body of verifiable scientific knowledge that proves it conclusively … leave the myths and fantasies behind …
Can’t we do better than electric cars? Why did we stop with such a weak solution?
Why don’t you start by limiting or completely abandoning your private jet usage? Is it too hard?
Has-been nut case. Can’t believe he’s not in jail
I don’t see anyone here commenting on the worst polluters. China and India. hmmm
First were going to freeze to death now we are going to burn to death. Wonder whats next to try to control you. Seems so easy.
