Kerry, a longtime senator and secretary of state, was tapped shortly after Joe Biden’s November 2020 election to take on the new role created specifically to fight climate change on behalf of the administration on the global stage.

Kerry’s departure plans were first reported Saturday by Axios.

Kerry was one of the leading drafters of the 2015 Paris climate accords and came into the role with significant experience abroad, as secretary of state during the Obama administration and from nearly three decades as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Biden’s decision to tap Kerry for the post was seen as one way the incoming president was making good on his campaign pledge to battle climate change in a more forceful and visible manner than in previous administrations.

Thanks for posting. But I read the full article just now and saw zero reporting or analysis on the subject of why he's leaving the position. Not even speculation! Did I miss something?

He is leaving to go campaign for Biden.. Pretty terrible article to leave that out

He looks great for his age but he's 80. He doesn't need a reason other than that.

Man is a fucking warmonger who did everything he possibly could to get a ground invasion into Syria. Meanwhile he gets multiple houses, cars, and a yatch while lecturing the rest of us on a carbon footprint.

The hypocrisy of man is unlimited. He will continue to have a lifestyle far far exceeding what a few dozen of us can ever afford whole arguing for yet another hunt for WMDs in the Middle East.

Fuck him, hope he is resigning because of some medical problem
