HOUSTON — U.S. climate envoy John Kerry tells Axios his work with China has stalled amid wider tensions between the world's two largest greenhouse gas emitters."Regrettably, in the last year ... what was not supposed to happen has happened, which is the climate issue has gotten mixed up into all the other tensions that exist between our countries," Kerry said in an interview at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference.
The two have a productive working relationship dating back to the Obama administration, and continued to meet at COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh.last month it was scaling back its 2030 targets for cutting oil and gas production. "I think the industry as a whole needs to take stock ... of where the science is today," Kerry said, noting that increasing fossil fuel output without plans to capture CO2 emissions or otherwise remediate them is at odds with achieving the Paris Agreement's targets.
