Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says he’s ashamed that U.S. Vice President Mike Pence didn’t mention climate change at an international security conference and is vowing to help make it a voting issue.

Kerry made an impassioned speech at a discussion on climate change Saturday at the Munich Security Conference, hours after a speech by Pence.

He said: “I’m ashamed that our vice president of the United States stood up here at a security conference and never even mentioned the word ‘climate change.’”

Kerry added: “I wish there was a way to hold the president of the United States accountable for the loss of life that is going to take place every day, for the displacement of people, for the trillions of dollars we will have to wind up spending because we’re not getting the job done.”
