On Friday, John Kerry, the climate czar for Joe Biden's administration, spoke with Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC.
Kerry explained that the president's climate change policies were driven not by ideology, but by the observable changes in nature. "We need to learn the lessons that Mother Nature is teaching us and screaming at us about," Kerry said.
"This is about math, mathematics and science, about physics. There's no politics, no ideology, no liberal conservative, no Democrat or Republican.
This is about facts, scientific facts that dictate that if we don't respond in the way the science has called on us to, we will pay even more for damages." If Biden's climate policies are not enacted, Kerry claimed the U.S. will have "millions of climate refugees."
Kerry's use of the term "Mother Nature" personifies nature as a sentient deity and is part of the ideology of pantheism, according to Merriam-Webster's definition.
During the same conversation, Kerry discussed Biden's plan to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50 percent by 2030, and the Inflation Reduction Act, which dedicated $369 billion to climate change goals despite the White House admitting it did little to reduce inflation.
Biden's 2022 government funding omnibus spending bill allocated $576 million to the Environmental Protection Agency. Since taking office, Biden has canceled U.S. oil pipelines, and his cabinet has emphasized the importance of transitioning to clean energy. Kerry previously stated that transportation vehicles should produce zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Later in the interview, Kerry addressed China, one of the world's largest producers of carbon emissions, and emphasized the need for cooperation between the U.S. and China in addressing the climate crisis.
