Psaki presser starts with John Kerry and Gina McCarthy. We are doomed.

Uh oh. “Science” is telling us something something doom, McCarthy says. Biden is “undoing the assault” of the past 4 years on the climate. Climate central to foreign policy and national security, she declares. We are doomed.

McCarthy: We are going to take a “whole of economy” approach. Meeeelllions of green jobs ahead. Finally, environmental justice will have a task force. DOJ will have “Office of Climate Justice” which might take away focus of Sedition Task Force, just sayin.

LOL restore scientific trust in the government. Who wants to tell her?

Oof John Kerry up now. He’s the very fancy climate envoy. He saying words but not sure what he’s saying.

IT’S EXISTENTIAL—John Kerry for the gazillionth time in 30 years

OH NO 17 intelligence agencies coming together to assess the threat. We know how that turned out last time

“The world will measure us.” I forgot how much I don’t miss this banality

Tapdanced around Q of China, climate

No one abroad has questioned their credibility, Kerry says. Allies very excited to have him back, Kerry says.

Apparently the “planet” is planning something over the next few months. Stand by for that.

Wut a legit Q: Reporter asks about energy workers losing their jobs.

Answer from Kerry: Learn to make solar panels or wind turbines.

I’m not joking.

McCarthy saying we need to produce more steel and concrete here but no one asked how to produce those materials with energy from windmills

Ok Circle Back Psaki up. She’s explaining the many ongoing conversations and outreaches happening among all the important people to discuss COVID package. They are listening and engaging.

Um so Psaki backtracking on Biden’s view of impeachment. She said a few days ago that Biden believed the Senate could “multi task” but now insists he’s only focused on COVID relief package. Quite a pivot
