John Kerry admits at UN summit that US emissions cuts accomplish nothing for climate – ‘Still wouldn’t be enough to offset’ rest of world
Kerry concedes even if US 'eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions' it would not impact climate
Sec. of State John Kerry: 'The fact is that even if every American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels to power their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions, guess what – that still wouldn’t be enough to offset the carbon pollution coming from the rest of the world. If all the industrial nations went down to zero emissions –- remember what I just said, all the industrial emissions went down to zero emissions -– it wouldn’t be enough, not when more than 65% of the world’s carbon pollution comes from the developing world.'
