Washington, D.C. - Today, the White House announced that political operative John Podesta would be appointed as Climate Czar to replace the departing John Kerry. In response, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future issued the following statement:

“As if we needed more proof that the green agenda is only about political power, appointing Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman sealed the deal. Appointing John Podesta is another nail in the coffin of Joe Biden’s credibility. He is a political operative who has made a living working inside the climate industrial complex, and his appointment is a sure sign that the green agenda is about to be weaponized for political gain. It doesn’t matter if it’s Kamala Harris in charge of the border, or John Podesta in charge of the climate; when Joe Biden hires someone failure isn’t far behind.”
