John Kerry flops as roving climate czar in eyes of environmentalists: ‘Definitely disappointed’

White House climate czar John Kerry was all about the Benjamins when making his green energy pitch last week to the global elite at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

“So how do we get there?” he said. “Well, the lesson I’ve learned in the last years — and I learned it as secretary of state and I learned it since reinforced in spades — is money, money, money, money, money, money, money.”

Roughly two years into the first-of-its-kind job as special presidential envoy for climate, Mr. Kerry is spreading the anti-fossil-fuel message far and wide.
