E and E: Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) can expect little opposition today when his Senate colleagues vote on his confirmation to be the United States' top diplomat. But from the time he enters 2201 C St. NW as secretary of State, the career-long proponent of action on climate change will face very high expectations from environmentalists and others who hope his ascension will make a significant difference on issues they care about, ranging from the international climate talks to the Keystone XL oil pipeline...
Kerry dodges Keystone pipeline question

Globe and Mail: Senator John Kerry ducked when he was asked directly at his confirmation hearing whether he would block or back the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, but President Barack Obama's pick for secretary of state delivered a passionate pitch on the virtues of clean energy. When Wyoming Republican Senator John Barrasso, who supports TransCanada Corp.'s multibillion-dollar pipeline to carry Canadian oil sands crude to U.S. refineries, asked whether he agrees with the 53 senators who favour the project,...

Canadian Press: John Kerry offered scant indication Thursday about his position on TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline, saying simply that he hopes to make "appropriate judgments" about the fate of the project should he officially become secretary of state.

"There...

Politico: President Barack Obamas chief global climate cop wont be stationed at EPA or on the White House staff. Hell be at the State Department. Obamas choice of John Kerry as the nations top diplomat is the strongest signal to the international community and the smart set in Washingtons political class that the president is truly committed to striking deals designed to save the world. Add that to his mention of climate change in his inaugural address, and its giving hope to greens that Kerry...

Nothing to fear but inaction on climate change: Kerry
2013-01-25 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) pledged yesterday to make climate change a top priority as secretary of State as he sailed through a mostly genial confirmation hearing before the committee he still chairs. Testifying before his Senate Foreign Relations panel, Kerry sidestepped a question about his views on the controversial $7 billion Keystone XL oil pipeline project. But he jumped at a chance to swat down a Republican senator who declared carbon constraints a threat to the U.S. economy, and he defended...
