Via the Boston Globe Feb. 16, 2014:
Excerpts: JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday called climate change perhaps the world’s ‘‘most fearsome’’ destructive weapon and mocked those who deny its existence or question its causes, comparing them to people who insist the Earth is flat.
…
He outlined a litany of recent weather disasters, particularly flooding and typhoons in Asia, and their impact on commerce, agriculture, fishing and daily living conditions for billions of people. ‘‘This city, this country, this region, is really on the front lines of climate change,’’ Kerry said. ‘‘It’s not an exaggeration to say that your entire way of life here is at risk.’’ He added: ‘‘In a sense, climate change can now be considered the world’s largest weapon of mass destruction, perhaps even, the world’s most fearsome weapon of mass destruction.’’
…
‘‘We simply don’t have time to let a few loud interest groups hijack the climate conversation,’’ he said, referring to what he called ‘‘big companies’’ that ‘‘don’t want to change and spend a lot of money’’ to act to reduce the risks.

The American people deserve much better’

Good thing he doesn’t evade taxes on his yatch that normal people can’t afford.
He’d blame any tax evasion on climate change. The lad just doesn’t have good sense.
Our country is run by retards
537 of them.
Two can hold the country hostage. reid and obama.
Who cares what this traitor says?
Nobody, except a few pinkos and socialists. They hate themselves and they assume everybody else has to do the same.
Next thing you know, they’ll be trotting out Jane Fonda and her 70 yr old commie uterus to sing the global warming anthem.
He’s got it wrong. That “climate” crud is second-rate “science” for third-rate people.
Actual “scientists” use physics, no more, no less.
The only Flat Earthers I know of are in the White House and at the State Department. The rest of us prefer atmospheric physics, astrophysics thermodynamics and meteorology to Kerry’s political cant.
I see that John the Village Slayer (with 3 purple hearts) has fallen off the Ketchup Wagon again.
Sit down John, shut your fish head slobbing gob, and leave the pontificating to the experts. I wouldn’t trust you to pick up a can of tuna at the Quickie Mart, coward.
UN IPCC models the earth as flat (flat map projection) and the sun as cold (only 1/4 radiation, 340 W/m2 instead og 1360 W/m2) with no rotation and no day/night shifts in their report AR5 fig. 2.11 for the earth energy budget. The result og this flat earth analysis is that the atmosphere warms the earth twice as much as the sun. Completely bullocks.
In addition, the President of the Flat Earth Society agees with UN IPCC, from wattsupwiththat.com:
Proud moment for warmists: President of real Flat Earth Society believes in the
global warming hoax
Flat Earth
Society believes in climate change:
As it turns
out, there is a real Flat Earth Society and its president thinks that
anthropogenic climate change is real. In an email to Salon, president Daniel
Shenton said that while he “can’t speak for the Society as a whole regarding
climate change,” he personally thinks the evidence suggests fossil fuel usage
is contributing to global warming.
“I accept that
climate change is a process which has been ongoing since beginning of
detectable history, but there seems to be a definite correlation between the
recent increase in world-wide temperatures and man’s entry into the industrial
age,” he said. “If it’s a coincidence, it’s quite a remarkable one. We may have
experienced a temperature increase even without our use of fossil fuels since
the Industrial Revolution, but I doubt it would be as dramatic as what we’re
seeing now.”

Temp has been rising for 200 years…the IR…
But it has not for the last two decades, as CO2
has continued…Please explain this.
The ‘basic physics’ & observations prove the ‘missing’ global warming was lost forever to space

John, If you’re so friggin smart why don’t you debate somebody that doesn’t believe in Global Warming.
Bye the way if the Arctic is melting why is the Ice Coverage at a near all time high. Please post a Satellite (Current) image of the Arctic.
Global Warming Scientist some 50 of them are stranded at the South Pole a few weeks ago (it’s summer time there John) and they got stuck in the ice and had to be rescued and the rescue ship got struck in the ice. They made this journey because they wanted to prove that the Ice was
melting. It was -56 degrees below Zero two weeks before the lowest temperature ever record in Antarctica and it’s SUMMER TIME.
I ask you just who is an Idiot????????????
It is very entertaining to watch the political class dance when subject matter can be studied to compare with what is being stated.
Good Lord, Kerry is truly a clueless dork.
“We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts”
I quite agree. Shut up, Kerry.
I wasn’t surprised when GW Bush’s grades were better than Kerry’s, but I am surprised at just how stupid Kerry is!
after getting snubbed for a Nobel in Peace
Kerry is now slumming for a Nobel in Science ?
…must really be frustrating that Obama got one just for being black (LoL)
LoL, they told you what ? to go out and get your stupid Peace Prize and leave us alone ? LOL
What’s next after he gets jilted for the Nobel in Science ? Medicine ? He’s going to promote himself as exceptional in the field of medicine real soon…just you wait (comical)
