The Biden administration&#8217;s climate czar <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=john+kerry+dailywire&amp;rlz=1C5GCEM_enUS998US998&amp;oq=john+kerry+dailywire&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i64l3.2537j0j4&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Kerry</a> can&#8217;t help but gush about China even as the Chinese Communist Party continues to embarrass him diplomatically while suggesting they don&#8217;t care one iota about Kerry&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/finally-congress-is-investigating-kerrys-chinese-communist-climate-change-chicanery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">climate change chicanery</a>. The guy is a total CCP simp, and his comments after an international meeting between U.S.-CCP leaders this week prove it.
First, the term &#8220;simp&#8221; refers to guys &#8220;<a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Simp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who do way too much</a>&#8221; for girls they have zero chance of dating. In turn, those women walk all over them and take advantage. It&#8217;s sort of new, online slang. Those caught &#8220;simping&#8221; are typically unaware of how pathetic they look. It is arguably worse than being friend-zoned. At least in the friend zone, the man is aware he is stuck.
You don&#8217;t want to be a simp, but that&#8217;s exactly what Kerry is to the CCP.
China has no interest in making any concrete commitment to climate change, let alone cutting back on carbon emissions. Nonetheless, Kerry continues the praise.
&#8220;We came to Beijing in order to unstick what has been stuck for almost a year, and that’s the in-person dialogue between the United States and China,&#8221; he beamed this week.
Kerry has been fighting for the chance to speak with the CCP face-to-face for nearly 365 days — and he&#8217;s absolutely giddy that it finally happened. He sounds like a teenager who is excited because the popular girl smiled in his direction after months of being ignored.
So how did the meeting go? Well, he came up empty-handed.
“We had very frank conversations, but we came here to break new ground, which we think is important at this stage, and it is clear that we are going to need a little more work to be able to complete that task, which we still believe, both of us, is doable,&#8221; Kerry <a href="https://www.eenews.net/articles/kerrys-visit-to-china-ends-with-no-major-agreements/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bemoaned</a>.

The former Massachusetts senator was appointed by President Joe Biden in 2021. Since then, he has gallivanted around the world <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jetsetter-john-kerry-asks-worlds-poorest-to-cut-back-on-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bullying third-world countries into giving up fossil fuels</a>, down-played his family&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-kerry-fumes-over-private-jet-question-gets-checked-under-oath" target="_blank" rel="noopener">private jet usage</a>, and told countries that &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/at-davos-john-kerry-praises-select-group-of-people-for-saving-the-planet-but-says-they-need-money-money-money" target="_blank" rel="noopener">money, money, money&#8230;</a>&#8221; is what will move climate change &#8220;progress&#8221; along.
However, all of what Kerry does is moot — if you actually believe that he wants to reduce pollution — if China is not on board with his plans.
Kerry has even been willing to ignore China&#8217;s troubling human rights record in hopes of scoring a carbon emissions deal with the country.
In the past, when Kerry has been asked about such issues, he has claimed that climate change takes the higher priority.
“Yes we have issues, a number of different issues, but first and foremost, this planet must be protected,” Kerry <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/john-kerry-justifies-climate-change-urgency-over-human-rights-abuses-in-china-life-full-of-tough-choices" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> after being asked about the problem in September 2021.
In turn, China ramped up coal production, began ignoring Kerry’s emails, and, as noted, didn’t even have the courtesy to meet with him face-to-face. So far in 2023, China emitted nearly 12 gigatons of carbon. The next closest country is the U.S. — which has emitted roughly five gigatons of carbon based on the <a href="https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/co2-emissions-by-country" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latest data</a>.
So what does CCP leader President Xi Jinping have to say about all of this? Well, after Kerry met with CCP leaders, Xi effectively told Kerry to kick rocks.
Xi did say that China would work to reduce C02 emissions. He <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/19/china/china-xi-carbon-climate-kerry-intl-hnk/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>, &#8220;the path, method, pace and intensity to achieve this goal should and must be determined by ourselves, and will never be influenced by others.&#8221;
Ouch. 
Kerry, it&#8217;s time for a message your buddy Biden should have told you: Xi&#8217;s just not that into you, dude.

Toward the end of their exchange, Kerry returned to the comment about private jets, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-kerry-defends-world-leaders-who-fly-private-while-pushing-climate-action" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a sore topic</a> for him and other world leaders pushing a campaign against global warming.
&#8220;I just don&#8217;t agree with your facts, which began with the presentation of one of the most outrageously persistent lies that I hear, which is this private jet,&#8221; Kerry said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t own a private jet. I don&#8217;t own a private jet. I personally have never owned a private jet. And obviously it&#8217;s pretty stupid to talk about coming in a private jet from the State Department up here.

Pushing back on the suggestion that Americans would see hypocrisy that undercuts the fight against climate change, Kerry added, &#8220;We&#8217;re not asking Americans not to fly. You&#8217;re trying to create an unequal thing. We&#8217;re not saying, &#8216;Don&#8217;t fly.'&#8221; Kerry also said he would be &#8220;happy&#8221; to provide Congress with records about his official, taxpayer-funded travel.

U.S.

Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry claimed during an interview on Monday that the problem with the war in Ukraine was that it was contributing to the release of greenhouse gases that are causing climate change.
Kerry made the remarks while President Joe Biden headed to the Windsor Castle in the U.K. to &#8220;take part in a ceremony for King Charles III and host a forum focusing on clean energy strategies,&#8221; the Washington Examiner <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/john-kerry-war-ukraine-exacerbating-problem-climate-change">reported</a>.
Kerry declared on MSNBC while in England, &#8220;Lots of parts of the world are exacerbating the problem right now.&#8221;
&#8220;But when you have bombs going off, and you have damage to septic tanks or to power centers, etc., you have an enormous release of greenhouse gas, of methane, you know, all of the family of greenhouse gases,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And the result is it&#8217;s adding to the problem.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not, you know, believe me, that&#8217;s ehhhh, the fight in Ukraine is a fight that we have to make, that the world has to make,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The values at stake are enormously important to all of us. So I&#8217;m not suggesting by any fashion, that, that this is not a fight we shouldn&#8217;t be involved in. But I am saying that there are ancillary impacts as a result of it.&#8221;

Kerry was widely mocked online over his remarks.
&#8220;John Kerry seems to think that the worst thing about the Russia-Ukraine war is the release of greenhouse gases,&#8221; attorney Will Chamberlain wrote. &#8220;I disagree. I think it&#8217;s the death and destruction.&#8221;
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley tweeted, &#8220;John Kerry tells us the problem with the war in Ukraine is the increase in greenhouse gases? You can&#8217;t make this stuff up. The end of the Biden (Harris) administration can&#8217;t come fast enough.&#8221;
&#8220;The problem with the war in Ukraine, says decrepit con man John Kerry, is that bombs are damaging septic tanks and exacerbating the made-up climate crisis,&#8221; radio host Gerry Callahan tweeted. &#8220;Wait till he hears about all the dead women and children.&#8221;

Ben Adler, senior climate editor at Yahoo News, broached the issue <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxJkhSPgCP0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">during an interview</a> posted online on Friday, saying he read that Kerry &#8220;recently switched&#8221; from flying private to flying commercial.
&#8220;No, I didn’t fly private while I was in this job,” Kerry said, flatly rejecting the assertion. &#8220;It&#8217;s just a misnomer.&#8221;

Kerry, who became the nation&#8217;s first special presidential envoy for climate <a href="https://www.state.gov/biographies/john-kerry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at the start of the Biden administration</a>, said he has had &#8220;one, maybe two private flights, which were military flights in order to get to China during COVID.&#8221;
&#8220;We were forced into that,&#8221; he insisted before adding, &#8220;I fly commercially.&#8221;
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-kerry-family-private-jet-sold-shortly-after-accusations-climate-hypocrisy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported last month</a> that Kerry&#8217;s family sold their private jet, a Gulfstream GIV-SP, to a New York based-hedge fund after it <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-kerrys-family-private-jet-emitted-300-metric-tons-carbon-biden-took-office" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for how many trips it took and its estimated hundreds of metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions since the start of the Biden administration.
Adler also pressed Kerry to respond to critics who say there is hypocrisy in world leaders at the forefront of the climate agenda who also fly private jets to major climate events <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/13/private-jet-emissions-quadrupled-davos-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in places such as Davos</a>.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve talked to them about it,&#8221; he replied, in reference to his contemporaries. &#8220;They offset — they buy offsets, they offset, and they are working harder than most people I know to be able to try to effect this transition.&#8221;

The Republican National Committee, which shared clips of the interview on Twitter, highlighted these remarks as Kerry defending &#8220;global elites&#8221; who fly private while advocating for climate action.
Carbon offsets are &#8220;tradable &#8216;rights&#8217; or certificates linked to activities that lower the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere,&#8221; according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology&#8217;s <a href="https://climate.mit.edu/explainers/carbon-offsets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Climate Portal website</a>. &#8220;By buying these certificates, a person or group can fund projects that fight climate change, instead of taking actions to lower their own carbon emissions. In this way, the certificates &#8216;offset&#8217; the buyer’s CO2 emissions with an equal amount of CO2 reductions somewhere else.&#8221;

Kerry further argued that even as there is a push for climate-friendly changes, including the toward the increased use of what the Energy Department describes as <a href="https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/sustainable-aviation-fuels" target="_blank" rel="noopener">low-carbon sustainable aviation fuels</a>, people should be &#8220;thoughtful&#8221; about how impractical it would be to suddenly wipe out every aircraft in the world that relies on fossil fuels.
Kerry, the Democrats&#8217; failed 2004 presidential nominee, previously served as U.S. senator and as secretary of state under former President Barack Obama. Kerry helped negotiate the Paris climate agreement and in 2019, when he faced criticism for his <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-kerry-private-jet-iceland-climate-award" target="_blank" rel="noopener">use of a private jet</a> for a trip to Iceland to receive an award for climate leadership, defended himself by saying, &#8220;If you offset your carbon, it’s the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle.&#8221;

John Kerry Defends World Leaders Who Fly Private While Pushing Climate Action

John Kerry Defends 'Global Elites' Who Fly Private While Pushing Climate Action

Special Climate Envoy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/at-davos-john-kerry-praises-select-group-of-people-for-saving-the-planet-but-says-they-need-money-money-money" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Kerry</a> apparently sold his wife&#8217;s family jet last summer after much scrutiny over his gas-guzzling habits. The sale doesn&#8217;t quite make sense, because the plane is still in existence and flying around the world. That raises the question, why didn&#8217;t he destroy it like it was one of those &#8220;cash for clunkers&#8221; cars from the Obama era?
That opening should not be taken as a dig at Kerry&#8217;s gold-digging ways. He may be a millionaire many times over because he wifed-up his ex-Senate colleague John Heinz&#8217;s widow, but it was his spokesperson who made it known that the controversial aircraft in question had been traded for some sweet moolah from an unknown buyer actually wasn&#8217;t in Kerry&#8217;s name.
&#8220;Secretary Kerry travels commercially in his role as Special Presidential Envoy for Climate,&#8221; Whitney Smith, Kerry&#8217;s spokeswoman, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-kerry-family-private-jet-sold-shortly-after-accusations-climate-hypocrisy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News. &#8220;I can confirm the plane previously owned by his wife’s family was sold last summer.&#8221;
The plane was reportedly sold to a New York-based hedge fund.
As Fox News first reported over the summer, Kerry&#8217;s jet had emitted more than 715,800 pounds of CO2 over 48 trips since he became the Special Climate Envoy.
Kerry has defended his expeditions in the past by saying the private jet was the only way somebody like him could travel around the globe. He ditched it a month after being criticized, Fox News noted.
However, it seems that the jet is still being used by somebody — which means that Kerry&#8217;s decision to sell it really does not matter. It is still out there cranking out CO2.
Had Kerry actually cared about reducing emissions, he would have destroyed it and used the parts for a wind turbine or maybe a modern art exhibit to be sold alongside Hunter Biden&#8217;s artwork.
Come to think of it, why doesn&#8217;t Kerry restart an elite version of &#8220;Cash for Clunkers?&#8221; Readers of a certain age may have benefited from that program designed to take thousands of cars off the road in exchange for money from the government. According to one report, nearly 700,000 cars were traded in under that program. It cost roughly $3 billion and, as described by James Gilboy of TheDrive, was pretty useless in the fight against climate change.
&#8220;[Cash for Clunkers]&#8217;s effect on U.S. fleet fuel consumption was further diluted by subsequent years of record car sales: since 2010, over 185 million new cars have been sold in the U.S. according to <a href="https://axlewise.com/car-sales-stats/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Axelwise</a>,&#8221; as of August 2022, Gilboy observed.
So the reality on the ground — and in the sky for that matter — is that leftist policies to reduce emissions have always failed.
Yet we know Kerry does not see it that way because he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/at-davos-john-kerry-praises-select-group-of-people-for-saving-the-planet-but-says-they-need-money-money-money" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flew to Davos</a> to pat himself and his millionaire pals on the back. He gushed to his colleagues at the World Economic Forum that they should view themselves as real-world Supermen.
“When you stop and think about it, it’s pretty extraordinary that we — a select group of human beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives — are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet,” Kerry gushed at the WEF. “I mean, it’s so almost extraterrestrial to think about ‘saving the planet.’”
Kerry added, “If you said that to most people, most people would think you’re just a crazy, tree-hugging, leftie, liberal do-gooder … but really that’s where we are.”
Based on his actions, Kerry seems to not care about reducing carbon emissions. He cares about money. He&#8217;s smart enough to know that the rest of the world cares about cold hard cash as well, because he told that same group that what is needed for green energy to take hold around the globe is, &#8220;money, money, money, money, money.&#8221;

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent the Heinz-ketchup-heiress hubby a letter on Thursday, demanding that he fork over information and documents regarding his office in general, and with a keen focus on his dealings with the CCP, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-kerrys-secret-ccp-negotiations-probed-gop-oversight-chairman?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Fox News.
&#8220;We are left with an insufficient understanding of your office’s activities, spending, and staffing,&#8221; Comer claimed in the letter, while adding that more information was needed in order to &#8220;enable long overdue oversight of your office.&#8221;
Kerry has long dismissed any concerns about China&#8217;s human rights record, instead placating them in hopes of getting the U.S. adversary to come to the table.
In the past, when Kerry has been asked about such issues, he has claimed that climate change takes the higher priority.
“Yes we have issues, a number of different issues, but first and foremost, this planet must be protected,” Kerry <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/john-kerry-justifies-climate-change-urgency-over-human-rights-abuses-in-china-life-full-of-tough-choices" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> after being asked about the problem in September 2021.
In turn, China ramped up coal production, began ignoring Kerry&#8217;s emails, and didn&#8217;t even have the courtesy to meet with him face-to-face. When they did meet in the fall of 2022, their talks were cut short and Biden&#8217;s &#8220;dear friend&#8221; blamed his failure on COVID.
As Comer poignantly noted, Kerry has downplayed the CCP&#8217;s tyranny &#8220;while promoting climate negotiations that the CCP does not even appear interested in entering.&#8221;
Through it all, Kerry has displayed a sunny disposition toward China, and now the GOP is saying his actions as Special Climate Envoy are potentially harming America.
&#8220;As a member of the President’s cabinet, you should be representing the United States’ interests. Your statements, however, consistently show disregard for American national security and taxpayer dollars,&#8221; Comer also stated in the letter.
Fox also pointed out that China is responsible for 27% of carbon emissions around the globe.
Unfortunately for taxpayers, Kerry&#8217;s office will likely be about as willing to comply with Congress as the CCP is in dealing with Kerry: Which is to say, not at all. At least it&#8217;s a start for accountability — ideally, the position gets defunded altogether.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/klaus-schwab-tells-world-economic-forum-that-global-challenges-are-catalysts-for-economic-transformation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Economic Forum</a> has finally jumped the shark, presumably while skiing across Al Gore’s “boiling ocean” behind a leaky tub steered by the radical Left’s Captain Queeg.
As the annual globalist confab staggered to a conclusion in Davos, the forum&#8217;s 52-year arc was also mercifully nearing an end. It began in 1971 as a wildly ambitious kook cult led by a 30-year-old economist who was equal parts Bond villain and L. Ron Hubbard. No one paid much attention for decades, but eventually rich, famous, and powerful people started showing up. That’s when conservatives raised the alarm and warned the world that Klaus Schwab and his vacant-eyed acolytes appeared bent on world domination. As usual, the leftist media’s response was something like, &#8220;You guys are crazy conspiracy theorists, and anyway, it’s a good thing.&#8221;
In 2023, with much of the world engulfed by debt, inflation, crisis-level immigration, and the looming threat of World War III, no one wants to hear what these pompous quarter-wits in propeller beanies have to say about how the rest of us should live. Even Europe’s unofficial energy czar, Greta Thunberg, only showed up this year <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/davos-2023-keep-it-in-the-ground-greta-thunberg-tells-protest-at-end-of-wef/ar-AA16ytTz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to heckle</a> the swells.
Emissions from this year’s collection of aging C-list gasbags included the usual dire warnings about a dying planet and the neo-spiritual demand for repentance from the developed world. With a dystopian hellscape just around the corner, the answer, as always, is for successful countries to return to the Stone Age while handing all their money over to unelected globalists who promise to distribute it to the noble savages.
If you eat meat, own a car, believe in borders, don’t want to be tracked, or simply want to be left alone, you’re the problem. The message was not new, but now it suddenly sounds more tired than scary. Maybe it’s because what passed for star power at this year’s meeting looked more like a reboot of “Cocoon,” or “Grumpy Old Men.”
Al Gore, 74, his voice rising in that affected and decidedly discomfiting style, once again claimed the “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/boiling-the-oceans-al-gore-goes-on-unhinged-climate-rant-condemns-detainment-of-greta-thunberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">oceans are boiling</a>.” There must be a giant gas stove under the seabed. Why, it seems like only yesterday that Gore was fending off a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/two-more-women-accuse-al-gore-of-assault-2010-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slew of complaints from masseuses</a>, yet miraculously managed to sidestep MeToo cancellation and make <a href="https://moneyinc.com/al-gore-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hundreds of millions of dollars</a> off his “save the planet” grift.
Fellow failed Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry, 79, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/at-davos-john-kerry-praises-select-group-of-people-for-saving-the-planet-but-says-they-need-money-money-money" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pronounced himself an “extraterrestrial&#8221;</a> who had been “touched” by someone or something which conferred upon him the power to save the planet. Synonymous with insufferable, Kerry once famously said that flying by private jet “is the only choice for somebody like me.” You too can own your own Gulfstream, if you marry the rich widow of your former Senate colleague.
Tony Blair, 69, the former British prime minister who is rumored to be Schwab’s potential successor, was heard calling for a “digital infrastructure” so “we can know who is vaccinated and who is not.” Memo to Blair: Not even those annoying people with “In this house …” yard signs and “Co-Exist” bumper stickers want this anymore.
The WEF&#8217;s twin sugar daddies didn’t even bother to attend this year. <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/bill-gates-dodges-questions-jeffrey-epstein-meetings-online-qa-session/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey Epstein’s old wingman, Bill Gates</a>, was a no-show, and George Soros was either unwilling or unable to leave the crypt to come bask in the genuflections of adoring minions.
There are even signs a mutiny could be building against Schwab. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/18/mutiny-erupts-among-wef-staff-over-role-of-mr-davos-klaus-schwab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to The Guardian</a>, a group of current and former forum members signed on to a report calling the founder “completely unaccountable to anyone inside and outside the organization.”
“Klaus has been at the helm of the WEF for 52 years,” the group charged. “When he was born, 122 of the 195 states in the world right now did not even exist.”
Far more useful advice for protecting mankind and the planet came from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-british-satirists-scathing-indictment-of-woke-culture-global-warming-hysteria-viewed-5m-times" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British comedian Konstantin Kisin</a>, whose address at a recent Oxford Union debate went viral and reached far more eyes and ears than any dopey Davos decree. The gist: Innovation, not authoritarianism, is humanity’s only hope. People in the world’s poorest and most populous countries are not going to stop trying to stay warm and feed their children just to win over a delusional pack of patronizing progressives.
“You are not going to get these people to stay poor,” Kisin said. “You’re not even going to get them to not want to be richer. And so I put it to you ladies and gentlemen, there is only one thing we can do in this country to stop climate change, and that is to make scientific and technological breakthroughs that will create the clean energy that is not only clean, but also cheaper.”
If Kisin wants to start a club and hold annual meetings in the Swiss Alps to discuss how to take over the world, I’m in. Who knows? It might become a real thing in 50 years.

John Kerry Praises ‘Select Group Of People’ For ‘Saving The Planet’
White House Special Climate Envoy John Kerry <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/at-davos-john-kerry-praises-select-group-of-people-for-saving-the-planet-but-says-they-need-money-money-money" target="_blank" rel="noopener">addressed</a> attendees of the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday, praising the group for their efforts to combat climate change. The remarks drew ridicule from some critics who called Kerry out of touch and elitist.
&#8220;When you stop and think about it, it’s pretty extraordinary that we — a select group of human beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives — are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet,” Kerry gushed on Tuesday. “I mean, it’s so almost extraterrestrial to think about ‘saving the planet.’”
Kerry added, “If you said that to most people, most people would think you’re just a crazy, tree-hugging, leftie, liberal do-gooder … but really that’s where we are.”

Man Armed With Knife, Wired Vest Shot By Federal Security Guard In Philadelphia 
Outside a federal courthouse in Philadelphia, a <a href="https://www.fox29.com/news/person-weapon-shot-security-outside-federal-court-building-philadelphia-sources-say" target="_blank" rel="noopener">security guard shot</a> a man “multiple times” on Tuesday after officials say he approached the building armed with a knife and wearing a vest with wires. The man was transported to a nearby hospital and is in critical condition. A motive has not been released.
China&#8217;s Economy Slows, Population Shrinks
China’s economy increased only 3% last year, the worst amount seen in decades. Experts blame the country’s strict COVID lockdowns and expect growth in the year ahead as those restrictions ease.
According to official numbers released today, China’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chinas-population-drops-for-the-first-time-in-six-decades" target="_blank" rel="noopener">population shrank</a> for the first time in decades this year. The decline, which many experts believe has actually been going on for several years, is linked to the one-child policy which was launched in 1980 and officially ended in 2016.

Podcast

Have you ever sat at work while drinking a burnt cup of coffee-turned-lukewarm and wondered what exactly you&#8217;re working so hard for in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden&#8217;s</a> economy?
Well, if you are blessed with employment in this <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/inflation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflation nation</a>, you know that a giant chunk of change is taken out of your paycheck each week to support items such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meads-joe-bidens-energy-policy-is-the-embodiment-of-america-last" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ol&#8217; Uncle Joe&#8217;s vision of a green energy utopia</a> that will never come. The chief promoter of that new world order is a certain John Kerry — a Boston Brahmin wannabe who is<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-much-are-taxpayers-paying-climate-czar-john-kerry-he-wont-say-but-one-gop-senator-is-demanding-answers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> paid an unknown amount of money</a> by U.S. taxpayers each year so he can luxuriously travel the globe to push that agenda.
He has defended his use of private jets because he sees it as essential to carrying out his mission and hopes to offset his <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/08/05/john-kerrys-private-family-jet-took-16-trips-this-year-alone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carbon emissions </a>via his activism. The Left wants you to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-in-december-banning-gas-stoves-entirely-its-a-real-possibility-here" target="_blank" rel="noopener">give up your gas stove</a>, but they need their airplanes because their lives are more important than yours.
Per his latest appearance in Davos at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-world-economic-forum-meets-in-davos-this-week-heres-what-to-expect" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Economic Forum</a>, his work is so crucial — and so misunderstood — that he had to pat himself and his elite colleagues on the back for &#8220;saving the world&#8221; from climate change because nobody else will do it for them.
Not a joke!
&#8220;When you stop and think about it, it&#8217;s pretty extraordinary that we — a select group of human beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives — are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet,&#8221; Kerry gushed on Tuesday. &#8220;I mean, it&#8217;s so almost extraterrestrial to think about ‘saving the planet.’&#8221; 
Kerry added, &#8220;If you said that to most people, most people would think you&#8217;re just a crazy, tree-hugging, leftie, liberal do-gooder &#8230; but really that&#8217;s where we are.&#8221;

Of course, well done is better than well said, which is to say that the husband of the heiress to the Heinz ketchup fortune has done a miserable job.
For example, Kerry hasn&#8217;t had any luck <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-kerry-blames-recent-covid-bout-for-failed-climate-change-talks-with-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrangling the Red Dragon of the Chinese Communist Part</a>y, so instead, he bullies third-world countries.
Consider that last year, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jetsetter-john-kerry-asks-worlds-poorest-to-cut-back-on-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked the Democratic Republic of Congo</a> to withdraw from auctioning off certain blocks of oil and gas to combat climate change. He also told other poorer nations to pick their choice of fossil fuel by making a sacrifice for the so-called greater good of the world.
“We are not saying no gas,” Kerry <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/climate-czar-john-kerry-warns-africa-natural-gas-bring-power-millions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at a conference in Dakar, Senegal, in 2022. “What we are saying is, over the next few years, gas replaces coal or replaces oil.&#8221;
China, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.saltwire.com/atlantic-canada/business/china-coal-output-in-dec-slips-on-covid-rises-to-record-in-2022-100814883/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">barreled</a> ahead to produce a record amount of coal in 2022. In turn, it seems that Kerry&#8217;s CCP counterpart has barely answered his emails. America&#8217;s climate czar also blamed a bout of COVID in November for another round of failed talks with China.
So, it isn&#8217;t going great. What could help? Another form of &#8220;green.&#8221;
Kerry&#8217;s solution to getting more countries on board to save the planet is to throw more money at the problem. Well, actually to quote him precisely, it&#8217;s &#8220;money, money, money, money, money, money, money.&#8221;

So, as you ponder whether or not you should dump out that coffee mentioned earlier for a fresh cup, you can rest assured that your efforts to provide a better life for your family have not gone in vain — if you are to believe Kerry.
You are going to be taxed out of the wazoo so you can help Kerry give away &#8220;money, money, money&#8221; to all his Davos pals, courtesy of your federal government, to stop the planet from maybe getting warmer sometime down the road.

At Davos, John Kerry Praises ‘Select Group Of People’ For ‘Saving The Planet’ But Says They Need ‘Money, Money, Money…’

At Davos, John Kerry Praises 'Select Group Of People' For 'Saving The Planet' But Says They Need 'Money, Money, Money...'

Have you ever seen a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/liberals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bunch of freeloaders</a> eat a meal? They tend to wolf it down so quickly that you have to wonder whether they even taste the food.
If you&#8217;re confused, then you&#8217;re probably a mooch yourself. Or, you just might be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/am-i-a-b-pelosi-asks-explicit-question-after-phone-call-with-mike-pence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) and<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chuck-schumer" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer</a> (D-NY).
The two recently sat down for lunch at the &#8220;Hunan Dynasty&#8221; Chinese restaurant in Washington, D.C. for their &#8220;first-ever&#8221; joint interview together. It&#8217;s unclear who exactly paid for the lunch — perhaps they went Dutch or Pelosi footed the bill — but it is safe to say that the pair has bilked the taxpayers for plenty of dough since they entered politics.
This hard-hitting piece of journalism appeared on CNN — perhaps no surprise to our readers.
Pelosi and Schumer had Peking duck, hot and sour soup, shrimp dumplings, and more. Here&#8217;s a brief recap of the gruesome twosome&#8217;s meal at the restaurant located near Capitol Hill:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Obsessed with this interview in which Pelosi and Schumer just ate Chinese food the whole time <a href="https://t.co/KCLV13shgk">pic.twitter.com/KCLV13shgk</a>
&mdash; Steve Morris (@stevemorris__) <a href="https://twitter.com/stevemorris__/status/1603802897690812416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 16, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
We know Pelosi loves Chinese food because back in February 2020, she was encouraging all Americans to go down to <a href="https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/22420" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Francisco&#8217;s Chinatown and eat dim sum</a> to prove they weren&#8217;t racist.
COVID was just beginning and at that point, the Left&#8217;s biggest concern was that fears of the virus — which was just starting to explode in Wuhan, China — would lead to anti-Chinese racism in Trump&#8217;s America.
Then the left realized they could politicize the issue and use the pandemic to amass government power and bash the 45th president, so they forgot about their virtue signaling on that front.
Anyway, now that the pandemic is over — or maybe it isn&#8217;t depending on whether you ask President Joe Biden or the folks actually running the show — Pelosi and Schumer are back to eating Chinese food.
At one point during the meal, Schumer said, &#8220;I&#8217;m eating too much,&#8221; which is a bit of an understatement.
The speaker took a break in between courses to voice her support for Biden&#8217;s potential 2024 run. She says he has done an &#8220;excellent&#8221; job.
The conversation featured the typical bashing of President Donald J. Trump that you can expect from the Dems.
At this point in the column, readers may be wondering about the photo choice for the story. What do current climate czar John Kerry and the deceased portly Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) have to do with any of this?
Well, the simple answer is that the photo of the cackling men was taken at Schumer&#8217;s book party thrown by then-Senator Hilary Clinton (D-NY- in 2007 at Hunan Dynasty — the same restaurant where the CNN interview took place.
Kerry and Kennedy joined Schumer to celebrate his book &#8220;Positively American.&#8221;
At the time, Schumer <a href="https://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/27376/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;I felt a real yearning &#8230; I felt a real yearning and a passion to get my ideas out to help my country.&#8221;
Perhaps he was inspired by a &#8220;Seinfeld&#8221; re-run the night before the big bash:

The other explanation of the photo selection is that Kerry and Kennedy are included to remind readers what sort of scoundrels the U.S. has been dealing with for decades now.
Kennedy <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2019/07/16/chappaquiddick-ted-kennedy-caused-death-mary-jo-kopechne-50-years-ago/1742106001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed a woman in a drunken stupor</a> in Chappaquiddick and <a href="https://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-op-rennie-dodd-kennedy-waitress-sandwich-1119-20171115-column.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">even allegedly violently sexually assaulted</a> a waitress across town at a French restaurant.
Still, Kennedy is lauded by the Democratic Party to this very day.
Speaking of Chinese for lunch, Kerry has been having <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-kerry-blames-recent-covid-bout-for-failed-climate-change-talks-with-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his lunch eaten by the Chinese</a> as of late. The man has totally failed in getting the communist country on board his green energy gambit.
To close, you have to wonder why politicians ever agree to eat food on camera.
Between the clanging of the forks and knives as well as the shoveling of food in their faces, it is never a great look.
If you are interested in the rendezvous, watch here:

President Joe Biden&#8217;s climate czar <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=john+kerry+dailywire&amp;rlz=1C5GCEM_enUS998US998&amp;oq=john+kerry+dailywire&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30j69i60l3j69i64l3.2392j0j4&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Kerry</a> is having a tough time wrangling his Chinese counterparts to come to the table on climate change hysteria.
On Thursday, Kerry — a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jetsetter-john-kerry-asks-worlds-poorest-to-cut-back-on-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">known jet setter</a> and Biden&#8217;s &#8220;dear friend&#8221; — blamed his recent inability to have any concrete conversation with the communist country on a recent bout of COVID.
Kerry told The Washington Post&#8217;s Sally Buzbee that it would be &#8220;great&#8221; if U.S. taxpayers could help foot the bill as a major &#8220;contributor&#8221; to climate change reparations for Third World countries. He also said that we need to &#8220;demand&#8221; nations such as China start negotiations.
When Buzbee asked whether or not China would oblige, Kerry tossed that dream up on a wing and a prayer.
&#8220;I would hope,&#8221; the typically dour-faced failed presidential candidate responded. &#8220;I would hope.&#8221;
Buzbee simply responded, &#8220;Okay.&#8221;
Perhaps Kerry realized that hope isn&#8217;t a strategy and instead offered up an excuse.
&#8220;I mean that&#8217;s — we will, you know, we&#8217;re — we picked up the conversation with China in Sharm,&#8221; Kerry said about a recent diplomatic mission to the COP27 meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in November.
Yet those communications were foiled by the Chinese Virus — as it is known outside the Beltway.
&#8220;Unfortunately, you know, I got COVID in the last few days, and we had to — we couldn&#8217;t quite finish those conversations,&#8221; he explained.
&#8220;Right,&#8221; Buzbee said.
&#8220;But we will continue,&#8221; he claimed.

Well, The Washington Post&#8217;s audience might not realize it — but Kerry&#8217;s latest alibi is more of the same.
China has eaten his lunch ever since he stepped into his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-much-are-taxpayers-paying-climate-czar-john-kerry-he-wont-say-but-one-gop-senator-is-demanding-answers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mysterious, tax-dollar-funded office</a>.
Consider that in September 2021, Kerry flew to China to discuss potential deals regarding the climate.
As <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_us-politics_us-climate-envoy-kerry-gets-cold-shoulder-china/6219223.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a> by Anders Corr, a longtime China observer and publisher of the Journal of Political Risk, “the Taliban got a better reception” from the Chinese Communist party than Kerry did.
A delegation from the Islamic terrorist group met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in person during the summer of 2021.
Kerry had to meet with a CCP underling via video chat.
Corr <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_us-politics_us-climate-envoy-kerry-gets-cold-shoulder-china/6219223.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> it a &#8220;diplomatic snub&#8221; and a &#8220;joke&#8221; at the U.S.&#8217;s expense.
The comedy tour continued as China <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/china-approves-15-gw-new-coal-fired-power-h1-research-2022-09-28/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ramped up</a> its coal production capacity in 2022  — even as Kerry begged the world to heed his warnings.
Kerry&#8217;s CCP equivalent, Xie Zhenhua, doesn&#8217;t seem all that interested in Kerry&#8217;s courtship.
Here&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/09/climate/john-kerry-xie-zhenhua-cop27.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brutal assessment</a> from The New York Times of how the pair&#8217;s relationship has fared since springtime: &#8220;Mr. Kerry, who has known Mr. Xie for 20 years, has said he spent the summer and fall emailing Mr. Xie without much response.&#8221;
They did meet briefly three times while in El-Sharm, but alas, it seems that pesky COVID ruined an otherwise embarrassing display of America&#8217;s dwindling soft power over our enemies.
In the end, all America&#8217;s unelected climate envoy can do is &#8220;hope&#8221; and fret about &#8220;the survival of the planet&#8221; while lecturing the entire globe that the world &#8220;desperately needs to come together&#8221; on this issue.
Maybe if his remarks wind up shared on the Chinese-backed app TikTok, he can finally get the message across to the country he says we &#8220;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/25/john-kerry-china-return-climate-talks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">need to get</a>&#8221; on board with the Biden administration&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meads-joe-bidens-energy-policy-is-the-embodiment-of-america-last" target="_blank" rel="noopener">green energy utopia</a> that will never come.
