Kerry: Americans Are ‘Dying of Both’ Coronavirus and Climate Crisis Because of Trump’s Disinformation Campaign

EXCERPT:

KERRY: “And the COVID-19 challenge has now been added to, among those things where the right, the political right, is prepared to attack science, math, evidence, facts, basic truth in favor of an ideology. And they’re pushing that ideology on our nation and it wouldn’t be a big deal if it weren’t costing lives and if it weren’t linked to larger issues that are coming at us. The disinformation campaign that President Trump has succumbed to, with respect to the COVID-19, is the same disinformation campaign from some of the same people who have brought us doubts about what is scientifically proven, which is climate change, the climate crisis. And you see the same interests being asserted, the same sort of falsehoods on which basic, huge decisions are being made. And the bottom line is this. American citizens are already dying of both. They’re already dying of effects of what’s happening with the climate crisis, from mud slides and floods, and they’re greater floods.”
