From Bloomberg: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said global warming is as big a threat as terrorism in a speech in Indonesia, the world’s largest exporter of coal for power plants, seeking to burnish his credential as a climate champion before deciding on the proposed Keystone XL pipeline project.
Speaking yesterday in the capital of Jakarta, the last stop on his three-nation Asia tour, Kerry called on the international community -- nations and individuals -- to do more now as addressing climate change required a global solution. The speech came against the backdrop of the eruption of the Mount Kelud volcano that disrupted air travel in the region and forced the cancellation of Kerry’s planned meeting today with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-02-16/kerry-burnishes-his-green-badge-in-asia-ahead-of-keystone-call.html
Global Warming is just as bad as terrorism? Seriously? Try telling that to the survivors and relatives of those died in the 9-11 terrorist attacks or those who have suffered from losses from terrorism around the world.
About the only smart thing John Kerry ever did was to marry into a rich family because he is too damn stupid to anything else.

Put your "climate change is a hoax" belief on hold for a second, and imagine it's all true. Even if it's only half as bad as predicted, it means cataclysmic weather events, rising sea levels, displacement of millions and millions of people. IF it's really happening (and a consensus of climate scientists think it is), it IS on the scale of terrorism.
ReplyDeleteAnd so, that is the reason why Kerry is flying half way around the world in a fuel guzzling jet, telling that we need to curb our own emissions?
ReplyDeleteSame with Obama and his numerous plane trips to the West, Hawaii and over seas?
They need to practice what they preach.
