John
Kerry, former Secretary of State recently introduced the “World War Zero,” a
star-studded coalition of Hollywood figures and former heads of state committed
to advocating for climate change solutions.
The
organization’s site claims their main goal includes mobilizing resources to deal
with global warming in a way that is akin to the Western allies in WWII.
According
to The NY Times, John Kerry, who served as a Massachusetts senator from 1985 -
2013, recruited former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and former Rep.
governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Kasich. A-listers like actors Ashton
Kutcher and Leonardo DiCaprio, and rocker Sting also are on board. More than
sixty figures are stated to have signed up for the coalition.
According
to Kerry, they are going to attempt to reach millions, Americans and those in
other areas of the world, to mobilize a plethora of people going to now demand
action on climate change enough to meet the challenge.
John
has been a critic of the Trump administration’s environmental policies, referring
to them as ‘profoundly harmful’ for the earth, and repeatedly has criticized Trump’s
removal of the United States from the 2016 Paris Agreement.
Future
gens will measure us by whether we took action on facts, and not just denied or
debated them. The verdicts hang on whether we put into action policies which
will drive the deployment and development of clean technologies, re-energize the
economies, and deal with global climate change, the Obama-age official wrote within
an opinion-editorial for the New York Times in 2018.
Kerry,
last November, told The Guardian that “folks are going to die” with the United
States no longer a part of the Paris agreement. Kerry said his kids and
grandkids will face a challenging world because of what Trump has done.
