Kerry: Air Conditioners as Big a Threat as ISIS

BY: Alyssa Canobbio July 22, 2016 4:10 pm

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.”

Kerry: Air Conditioners as Big a Threat as ISIS

The Trump campaign should use this ridiculous statement to criticize Democrat policy on Terrorism.

I have the unfortunate ability to recall nearly every meme I’ve ever seen on the interwebs. :D

105 degrees today where I live. I have the a/c on all day.
I am a terrorist!

I am always amazed at how utterly stupid people like Kerry manage to get in charge. No wonder the real terrorist in Iran were mocking him.

Yes. That and the fact that rye bread was a staple of the diet. There’s an ergot fungus that grows on rye bread that is hallucinogenic. This might explain a lot of the strange behavior of people in those days.

When is he going to have the A/C turned off at each of the several houses he owns? When is his buddy Al Gore going to do the same at his several houses? Just when you think these people can’t say or do something any more stupid than they already have, they do.

He won’t give his air-conditioned comfort but he’ll demand you give up yours.

I wonder if his yacht has air conditioning?

One of the greatest Americans ever!

Phoenix AZ could not exist the way it is today without this invention. JFK is certifiable, no doubt about it. Ditto for his boss Barky.
