White House Climate Czar John Kerry ambled out of the cellar to deliver a press briefing on climate change today.
It was your run of the mill alarmist screed with vague appeals to "Lord Science the Great and Powerful" until a reporter asked Kerry about all of the people who work in traditional energy fields like oil and gas.
"There are people who will hear this message that they will see an end to their livelihoods. What do you say to them?" The reporter asked.
A legit question, I must say.
Biden already obliterated 11,000 energy jobs with a flourish of his pen. So energy workers have a right to be nervous about this new administration.
Listen to the sensitive and thoughtful reply Kerry gave to those concerns.
"What President Biden wants to do is make sure that those folks have better choices… That they can be the people to go to work to make the solar panels. The same people can do those jobs!"
Yeah, c'mon, guys. What a dumb question! Just go and learn a completely new career. What's the problem???
You can just hear the contempt in his voice. He's disgusted he even has to answer the question.
