He has apparently been leading an international organization focused on addressing climate change for the past year.

Barely heard of this. Stars and pols without any specific policies. $500k.

I’m not sure why Biden would pull Kerry out of retirement for this extremely important position.

Biden knows exactly what’s he’s doing, and you, my friend, don’t.

Kerry is a good pick. Biden knows him and can rely on him.

While Biden has picked a good team so far, there seems to be a trend with him picking people who have been in his inner circle already and corporate lobbyists. It would be nice to see him branch out a bit.

Why would he branch out when he's picking candidates with extraordinary experience that he can trust because he's worked with them over decades?

We don't need any hand-holding in this administration. The U.S. is teetering on the edge of the cliff and we need to right the ship from Day Zero.

The newbies can come in during the 2024 term.

Longer than that. He worked on the Paris Accords and has been involved in climate advocacy since leaving the Obama Administration. He's a great pick for any political role in climate, especially since Biden's first action will be to rejoin the Paris Accords.

Yes this. He's picking people highly experienced people who already know the agencies they will lead and will get their security clearances reactivated quickly. No CEOs, cranks, or derelict billionaires this time.

He seems to be picking a mix. I suspect with a pick like Kerry, part of the goal is to not have the person doing the negotiating be the story. Except in the addled minds of the Swift Boaters, Kerry was barely even the story when he was running for President.

Sally Yates won’t be in it. Nor will traitor Alexander vindschktz, or Susan rice.

Go to hell. Trump forced it. Hollowed the government, then blew up the transition. Biden needs people who don't need any time to get up to speed.

To you maybe. But this is experience that will be able to hit the ground running and restore order to the government and pick up the pieces that the current administration shredded and put them back together again. This is the reason that Biden was the overwhelming landslide winner of both the primary and the election, because the majority wanted this.

He doesn't need approval, so that might be one reason.

They are just mad that he lost a Presidential election and didn't fade into the ether.

Kerry has had a long-standing concern with environmentalism as a global issue. In April 2016, he signed the Paris Climate Accords at the United Nations in New York. On November 11, 2016, Kerry became the first Secretary of State and highest-ranking U.S. official to date to visit Antarctica. - wikipedia page

He also teamed up with AOC on Biden's Climate Change Task Force.
