President Joe Biden’s former “climate czar” John Kerry has claimed that Africans without electricity only have themselves to blame because they should have installed solar panels.
Kerry argues that Africans struggling to cope without power should pick “the right kinds of electricity.”
He continued by warning that the world is battling a “climate emergency.”
The former secretary of state continued by insisting that citizens in third-world nations need to get on board with green energy if they want to survive “global warming.”
Kerry made the comments at a speaking event at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics on Thursday.
He spoke at the event after the 29th UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) concluded last week.
Kerry told the audience that “people in Africa” who are without power “need to choose” alternatives to fossil fuels.
He suggested that Africans should “choose” solar power if they want electricity.
“People in Africa who don’t have electricity need to choose the right kind of electricity,” Kerry said.
He then added that American taxpayers should “help” Africans to make the “right” choice regarding their energy sources.
“We need to help them be able to afford it and do it,” he said.
Kerry noted that the U.S. has the biggest economy on Earth, with China in second place.
However, he failed to mention that China is by far the largest polluter in the world.
China produces more “greenhouse emissions” than the other top five largest polluting countries combined.
However, the Chinese Communist Party continues to get a free pass from Kerry and his globalist “climate crisis” allies.
According to Kerry, it’s America’s responsibility to tackle the alleged “climate emergency.”
Elsewhere during his remarks, Kerry also demanded the declaration of a “climate emergency.”
As Slay News reported, Kerry has made a chilling demand to force the general public into complying with the globalist green agenda.
Kerry is demanding that a “climate emergency” be declared in order to “get people to behave.”
According to Kerry, the public must “behave” by complying with the “climate change” narratives promoted by himself and his allies in the unelected United Nations (UN) and World Economic Forum (WEF).
Kerry, who stepped down as Special Presidential Envoy for Climate in March to work on Biden’s doomed re-election campaign, is listed as an “agenda contributor” at the WEF.
He was also one of the architects of the UN’s Paris Climate Agreement.
“I think, personally, we’re on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have,” Kerry told attendees at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum.
“And we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet, to everybody.”
WATCH:
Kerry is a former senator and the 2004 Democrat presidential nominee who lost to incumbent Republican President George W. Bush.
He went on to serve as secretary of state during a portion of President Obama’s White House tenure.
Kerry has also previously served as the first-ever U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate under President Biden.
On the day he was sworn into office on January 20, 2021, Biden created the role for his old friend Kerry.
In the taxpayer-funded role as “climate czar,” Kerry wielded immense unregulated powers as he traveled around the world on private jets making green agenda deals on behalf of the United States.
In addition, Biden awarded Kerry the Presidential Medal of Freedom earlier this year.
