[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]John Kerry?? He would not be in my top 50 for climate czar. 
He’s prominent and well known but old and has not been deeply involved in climate change work [/quote]

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

Way longer than that. "In the 1980s and 1990s, Mr. Kerry worked closely with Mr. Gore, then a senator from Tennessee, on climate change policy on Capitol Hill. In 1992, Mr. Kerry attended the first United Nations climate change summit meeting, in Rio de Janeiro, where he kindled a connection with Teresa Heinz, who attended with a delegation representing the elder President George Bush.

Married three years later, the couple went on to write a 2007 book together, “This Moment on Earth: Today’s New Environmentalists and Their Vision for the Future.” By that time Mr. Kerry had run for president and lost, and then was one of the founders of a think tank, the American Security Project, that defined climate change as a national security threat."
