Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) delivered what his office termed a “major address” in the Senate yesterday. Kerry used that address to argue that “climate change” is every bit as much of a threat as the Iranian mullahcracy’s drive to obtain nuclear weapons and long-range missiles to deliver them.
“I believe that the situation we face, Mr. President, is as dangerous as any of the sort of real crises that we talk about – today we had a hearing in the Foreign Relations Committee on the subject of Syria, and we all know what’s happening with respect to Iran, and nuclear weapons and the possibility even of a war,”
“Well, this issue actually is of as significant a level of importance, because it affects life itself on the planet,” he said.
Kerry went on to say that you can’t even say “climate change” in public anymore, thanks to a “concerted campaign of disinformation.” “Climate change” replaced “global warming” a few years ago as the preferred term, when scientific data failed to show a warming of the planet, and when Al Gore’s “global warming” alarmist speeches were consistently interrupted with blizzards. Fabricated evidence uncovered in the Climategate emails further damaged the “global warming,” now “climate change” cause. Kerry never addressed the falsified data in his speech.
Kerry, who has never held a private sector job, married twice for money, is not a scientist and has no formal scientific experience whatsoever, went on to lob a smear at those who disagree with him.
“We have in effect, with respect to climate change in America today, what is fundamentally a flat-earth caucus, a bunch of people – some of them within the United States Congress itself – who still argue, against all the science, all the evidence, they argue that somehow we don’t know enough about climate change, or they argue that the evidence isn’t sufficient, or they argue that it just is a hoax.”
Smears are nothing new to John Kerry. He returned from service in Vietnam to build his political career accusing fellow servicemen of systematically committing war crimes and atrocities “in a fashion reminscent of Jenjis Khan.”
Meanwhile, Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons and is ramping up the threats to annihilate Israel.
A Republican Senator should have taken to the floor immediately following Kerry’s remarks and asked Kerry what changes he has made/is making to his personal lifestyle if climate change is such a big problem?
Does that mean Iran’s nuke quest is a hoax?
In an ironic way Kerry might have made an understatement. If the “climate change” envisioned by Kerry and his ilk had resulted in global carbon taxes and other ‘green’ agenda items, the world’s overall livelihood might have been destroyed to a greater extent than any future Iranian nukes might accomplish. At present, the ‘green’ movement appears to be failing…unlike the Iranian nuke program.
Whats wrong with you guys? Sen. Kerry is right! If it gets any colder we’ll have crop failures and mass starvation in many parts of the world where raising crops is already a tightrope act.
Do like me – drive an SUV!!!
The wusses are afraid to confront Iran, so they try to divert attentions and make a bundle themselves stimulating their cronies in so-called green energy with taxpayers’ money.
Iran’s nuclear weapons are in the hands of Ahmedinejad, who claimed today that destroying Israel will “solve all the world’s problems”. (Exactly how, he didn’t explain.)
Offhand, the only thing I can think of that is a bigger threat to the world than that is John Kerry’s rapidly-diminishing IQ. Like Joe Biden, Kerry is empirical proof of the axiom, “the lower the intelligence, the bigger the mouth”.
clear ether
eon
Climate change can be stopped if Kerry goes and sits on a bottle of ketchup.
This boob is hilarious…if the good people of Massachusetts want to keep paying this man with their tax dollars to entertain the rest of us with his idiotic imitation of a statesman….ok. What a nincumpoop, what a hairbrain….the only thing that keeps him from being first class entertainment is he has too much influence on policy via his status as a senator. Other than that, he makes me laugh. Pitiful, self-absorbed, moron boob…
Tell ya what Seabiscut head, You go stand at ground zero when the Iranians test their nuke and I’ll stand at the nexus of global warming. Don’t forget to plug your ears.
And the democratic party is more of a threat to American freedoms than either Iranian nukes or global warming.
He sort of debunks himself when he says “as dangerous as any of the sort of real crises that we talk about.”: Emphasis on real.
So which is he saying is crap?
