John Kerry: Protecting Oceans From Climate Change A 'Vital Security Issue'
Breitbart ^ | 6/16/14 | Frances Martel

Posted on 06/16/2014 12:20:30 PM PDT by BlatherNaut

With the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) advancing rapidly through Iraq and posting images of their brutal mass executions, plans have begun to evacuate America's embassy in Baghdad. In Washington, however, Secretary of State John Kerry hosted a conference on the world's real "vital security issue": climate change. Kerry, who has remarked intermittently in interviews on the current crisis in Iraq, spent the morning hosting the State Department's "Our Ocean" conference-- a summit of 80 countries and academic experts designed to engage global leaders in a discussion on how to save the world's oceans from the effects of climate change. There, Secretary Kerry announced that the world had a "shared responsibility" to keep the seas clean, and encouraged global leaders to see climate change and the protection of the seas as a national security issue, not an environmental one. Kerry addressed preemptively concerns that he was focusing time on climate change when the world required his attention on much graver and more immediate threats. "For anyone who questions why are we here when there are so many areas of conflict and so many issues of vital concern as there are," he announced, "...no one should mistake that the protection of our oceans is a vital international security issue." Kerry also noted that, because of the conflict in Iraq, he would not be able to attend every event at the conference. Kerry nonetheless opened the conference with warnings that climate change poses an immediate threat to the world, one that requires addressing before he works to remedy the situation in Iraq. Currently, ISIS jihadists are believed to be within 300 miles of Baghdad, and American military have been sent to protest the embassy in the capital.

Lighten up Johnny boy. Protecting our BORDERS from invading marauders is “ a vital security issue”. You need to give Algore’s “climate change” BS a rest.

This is how it;s done. If we aver retake power, we simply declare environmentalists a national security threat along with their global warming BS and drill everywhere. Because the evidence shows they are a threat to NS and we could prove it in court.

But we do not need to. We use the laws as they exist to end the madness.

And since they are in fact a threat to NS, arrest and jail them.

Send the navy! A global force for good!

Caligula’s lesson to old father Neptune seems to need refreshing.
