John Kerry: Paris Was a Turning Point in the Fight Against Climate Change [Full Remarks]

‘Today is the day to mark and to celebrate the hard work done by so many’

"But knowing what we know, this is also a day to recommit ourselves to actually win this war. Paris was a turning point in the fight against climate change. Paris marked the moment when the world finally decided to heed the ever-rising mountain of evidence that had been piling up for years.  It marked the moment that we put to rest once and for all the debate over whether climate change is real – and began instead to galvanize our focus on how, as a global community, we are going to address the irrefutable reality that nature is changing at an increasingly rapid pace due to our own choices."
