   > Kerry is a piece of shit.   
      
   US climate envoy John Kerry plans to step down from his post by this   
   spring, a source close to Kerry confirmed to CNN.   
      
   Kerry is leaving the position after three years at the helm of US climate   
   diplomacy under the Biden administration. The source close to Kerry said   
   he will still attend the World Economic Forum in January and is expected   
   to attend the Munich Security Conference in February.   
      
   The 80-year-old former secretary of state and Democratic nominee for   
   president led US negotiations at three international climate summits, the   
   most recent of which was held in Dubai.   
      
   Kerry specifically prioritized restarting international climate talks   
   between the US and China, and was key in negotiating the November   
   Sunnylands agreement, a wide-ranging climate agreement between the two   
   countries before COP28.   
      
   Axios first reported Kerry was stepping down and intends to join the Biden   
   campaign. CNN has reached out to the Biden campaign and the White House   
   for comment.   
      
   Before joining the Biden administration, Kerry had long worked on climate   
   issues. As secretary of state, he played a key role in negotiating the   
   Paris agreement, which was adopted by nearly 200 nations in 2015 and was   
   aimed at addressing the negative impacts of climate change.   
      
   And in 2019, Kerry co-founded a bipartisan initiative of world leaders and   
   celebrities to combat the climate crisis called World War Zero.   
      
   Kerry also served alongside Joe Biden in the Senate for decades. He was   
   first elected to the Senate to represent Massachusetts in 1984 after   
   serving as lieutenant governor of the state under Gov. Michael Dukakis.   
      
   In 2004, Kerry won the Democratic nomination for president before losing   
   the general election to incumbent President George W. Bush. In 2009, when   
   Biden became vice president, Kerry took over his role as chairman of the   
   Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He was nominated to serve as secretary   
   of state by Barack Obama in 2012.   
      
   Kerry also served in the Navy in Vietnam as a gunboat officer on the   
   Mekong Delta and was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and three   
   Purple Hearts.
