From Andrew Freedman of Axios:
Kerry says negotiations may fall short of securing commitments from major emitters to stop burning coal and commit to aggressive near-term emissions cuts.
Details: "By the time Glasgow's over, we're going to know who is doing their fair share, and who isn't," he said. "It would be wonderful if everybody came and everybody hit the 1.5 degrees mark now," he said.
Our thought bubble: A key quote shows Kerry's frustration with Congress, where major legislation to address the climate crisis is stalled. This could damage U.S. credibility and leverage in Glasgow.

  *   Failure to pass such legislation, he said, "Would be like President Trump pulling out of the Paris Agreement, again."
  *   He did say, though, that he thinks Congress will ultimately pass some form of climate legislation.
