Kerry: Air conditioners as big a threat as the Islamic State
https://www.jihadwatch.org ^ | 07/22/2106 | Robert Spencer

Secretary of State John Kerry said in Vienna on Friday that air conditioners and refrigerators are as big of a threat to life as the threat of terrorism posed by groups like the Islamic State.

The Washington Examiner reported that Kerry was in Vienna to amend the 1987 Montreal Protocol that would phase out hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, from basic household and commercial appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, and inhalers.

“As we were working together on the challenge of [ISIS] and terrorism,” Kerry said. “It’s hard for some people to grasp it, but what we–you–are doing here right now is of equal importance because it has the ability to literally save life on the planet itself.”

Kerry said that most of the substances banned in the Montreal Protocol have increased the use of HFCs and claimed that the coolant was thousands of times more potent than CO2. He added that the increase of HFCs has lead to the trend of global climate change. “The use of hydrofluorocarbons is unfortunately growing,” Kerry said. “Already, the HFCs use in refrigerators, air conditioners, and other items are emitting an entire gigaton of carbon dioxide-equivalent pollution into the atmosphere annually. Now, if that sounds like a lot, my friends, it’s because it is. It’s the equivalent to emissions from nearly 300 coal-fired power plants every single year.”…

John Kerry is definitely unfit for any kind of command.

Global warming, climate change, whatever flavor of the month it is, is a favorite fear tactic of these old commies. I can’t stand these old commies we have in government.

I mean, your response is sarcastic, but wouldn’t that be a logical course of action if you believe this....nonsense? No fridges, no AC. Take them out of all your personal residences. The media can go on and on about Melania ‘stealing’ the phase ‘your word is your bond’, but no one in the media will ask John Kerry when the work will begin to take out the air conditioning.

Post #41 ~ Great photo!

Absurd that he is sometimes referred to as a ‘gigolo’. He has no brains, no patriotism, and no business being allowed to ‘Govern’.

All he DOES have to rely on, are his Hollywood good looks. HA!

The progressives want to force us into tiny homes to save the ‘environment.’ I’ve noticed there are documentaries about how the environment reclaims urban areas.

This is about government fabricating rationing as a faux problem in order to control citizens via crony komisar edicts.

time for Kerry to retire from the beltway.

I don’t think we’re allowed to use the term plain old
ASS on here. I think we can write ASS when we mean
“donkey”, butt we have to be careful about attaching
the word “horse” to it. In other words, we can say
“ASS”, butt not “donkey’s A$$”, because that really
means “donkey’s butt” - which is NAUGHTY!! In fact, this
whole post is NAUGHTY and should be deleted toot sweet!!

You can't even make this stuff up about this administration and think that it's gone too far out there. Kerry's statement is breathtakingly.....in outer space.

Kerry must be going blind. Because how else could a man stand in front of his bathroom mirror in the morning and look himself in the eye and think that anybody really believes this drivel coming out of his mouth.

It's like we have adult-looking 2nd graders running the show.
