The AP covered an Atlantic Council event featuring remarks by Secretary of State John Kerry on the importance of the 2015 Conference of the Parties (COP21) climate change negotiations:
“Now folks, we literally do not have the time to waste debating whether we can say ‘climate change,'” Kerry said during a speech at The Atlantic Council, a Washington think tank. “Because no matter how much people want to bury their heads in the sand, it will not alter the fact that 97 percent of peer-reviewed climate studies confirm that climate change is happening and that human activity is largely responsible.”
