The State Department is eliminating the Office of Global Change, which oversees international climate change negotiations for the United States.

Staff were told about the move verbally Thursday afternoon, according to three people who were granted anonymity to speak about the decision to avoid reprisal. The news thrust the office into chaos and raised questions among staff about when the office would be permanently shuttered.

“This will hamstring international climate cooperation at the worst possible time,” said one official, referring to the upcoming global climate talks called COP30. It’s “just strategically fucking dumb when it comes to China,” that person added, saying the move would leave a leadership vacuum that China could fill.

A State Department spokesperson confirmed that the office is being eliminated to comply with President Donald Trump’s directives to cease participation in international agreements. “Consequently, this office — which supported the efforts of previous Administrations to hobble the United States through participation in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) and other agreements purporting to limit [or] prevent climate change, is unnecessary,” the spokesperson said in an email.

1. Little Marco gets smaller all the time. Climate change is real.

&t=13s

2. He has become a pod person

You can tell he is uncomfortable with everything he has been tasked to do and he is being "forced to" do it not only as "punishment", but to show how spineless, desperate, power hungry, and craven he is when given the chance to finally be "in charge" of something.

[Javaman]

3. I don't call him robot rubio for nothing.

he's the easiest programmable sycaphant they have. that's why they picked him for SOS.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Yup.

He's more than willing to compromise his soul for what he thinks is "power". But he's obviously not good at it because it is obvious he is not getting any joy from it like the loons he works with.

[WyLoochka]

9. He has no power

He has to follow orders. He has no input at all.

He's been "hollowed out". It's as if he had a lobotomy, and then an injection of evil into the emptiness.

He parrots talking points given to him that represent values and viewpoints that are opposite of those he claimed his whole life and it doesn't even register with him.

Very disturbing.

13. "Hollowed out" is an excellent description

His eyes are blank. Which is why I called him a pod person.

5. Not one group on Earth think Climate Change is a hoax.

..except for the United States republican party.

Yet they look around and see no reason to understand what the rest of the world so plainly sees.
Sadly, the driving reason for their manufactured ignorance is because democrats want to slow it.

12. The GOP are extreme global outliers in a LOT of ways. For some reason, no one ever seems to call them out on that.

The Overton window in this country is stupidly far to the right.

6. Do the Cuban American Floridian voters ever regret voting for this tRUMP bootlicker?

I mean, that's a big reason tRUMP put him in that position. The bootlicking.

7. Stop little Marco

No matter how much you suck up to Trump he's still going to treat you like shit.

Besides your state is going to take some of the worst damage in climate change both from storms and sea level rising.

8. Rubio wasn't satisfied to be on the "dark side." He has gone "deep dark side" now.

I really have learned to dislike him a lot.

[Karasu]

11. You don't willingly accept a job in a fascist administration unless you're all the way gone.

[Karasu]

10. Yes, they want you to die, America. In their eyes, pinching pennies to whatever insignificant degree they can is

important than your lives or futures.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Such a little shell of a person. No values, just boot-licking.
