John Kerry

What is clear is that while he is clearly both angry and disgusted, his almost innate response has been that Americans will still stay in - through work of companies, blue cities and blue states. Some of the "infrastructure" for that response predates the Obama administration. 10 Northeastern states have their own cap and trade - Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (REGI) that has worked to reduce emissions since 2008 - it was created in 2005. The West coast especially California has been in front has well.

In addition, Michael Bloomberg, as a UN envoy to cities on climate change worked with the State Department to create a program where cities could share their experiences into what worked and - equally important - things that didn't. Bloomberg has himself committed $15 million from his philanthropy to the UN green fund which the US pledged $3 billion to over time and gave $1 million before Obama left office.
