"It'd be great if this meeting was actually going to produce some positive outcomes but I fear it will be more of the same," Kerry said. "There are dozens of ways this administration could take productive steps on climate change, but simply restating goals without taking the steps necessary to implement them is a recipe for failure. We need binding emissions targets across the economy and across borders. Our only hope is that this president, who just a few years ago was questioning the science behind climate change, may wake up one day and finally decide he is ready to lead on this critical issue."
