During an interview with the Associated Press on Monday, 80-year-old Kerry said he believes he helped galvanize the world to the so-called climate crisis.

Kerry was a key player in getting President Obama to sign the controversial Paris Climate Agreement.

For the Biden administration, Kerry went around the world on private jets pushing for countries to ditch oil, coal and gas.

He touted Biden as the ultimate champion of a green agenda.

“By far the most recent, pullback was, just by far the more damaging because it was a complete withdrawal from this kind of effort,” Kerry stated.  “And I think President Biden’s been able to make up for that very, very significantly. I mean, he signed the Paris Agreement the very day, within an hour or so of being sworn in as president. First act he did was to sign we’re back in the agreement.”

The former secretary of state’s last day in his White House position will be on Wednesday. He will then work for the Biden campaign full time.

He will be replaced by top Biden aide Joe Podesta. Podesta reportedly played a big role in getting green initiatives tagged onto the Inflation Reduction Act.
