KERRY: “So it’s up to us. The great challenge that we face is that the world is still stuck, more than it should be at this point, on the burning of fossil fuel. Now if that fossil fuel burning can produce emissions that can be captured, we win. But we don’t know yet whether that can happen at a rate that can be brought to scale and at a price that enables it to be brought to scale and therefore proceed as we have previously. That’s the challenge for all of us. Dubai presented the world with a new choice, where almost 200 nations came together and issued a new mission definition after Paris and Glasgow and Sharm el-Sheikh and now after Dubai. And that new mission was that we must, because of what it is doing, we must transition away from fossil fuel. Even fossil fuel producing countries signed on to this understanding of the new mission. And that we would do so in a way that allowed us to meet our goal of net zero 2050, that we would accelerate in this decade and do so according to the science, which means keeping the Earth’s temperature increased to 1.5 degrees. Sounds great, but that’s not what the world is doing.”
