If this works out for John Kerry as well as it did for Al Gore, then Kerry won’t have to live of his wife’s fortune any longer.

Back in the late 80’s, Senator Al Gore convinced the American people that Freon (CFC) was causing a mysterious hole in the ozone layer over the South Pole and we were all going to die if we didn’t stop using Freon in our air conditioners and refrigerators. The American people went along with it and replaced every air conditioner and refrigerator in the U.S. with those that only used HFC.

Air conditioner manufacturers made fortunes replacing perfectly good air conditioners and refrigerators throughout the U.S. and then throughout most of the world. And, of course, Al Gore’s immense fortune couldn’t possibly have anything to do with this scam.

Now, John Kerry is trying to recreate this scam by telling us the HFCs that replaced the CFCs in air conditioners and refrigerators to prevent the mythical hole in the Ozone Layer is now causing Global Warming and will kill us all if we don’t replace all of our HFC using air conditioners and refrigerators.

Of course, air conditioner and refrigerator manufacturers are eager to once again replace the HFC using items in this country, most of which are now manufactured in China.

Whatever happened to all of the Acid Rain(never materialized), that fell through the ozone hole? I guess we're swimming in it, and using it to this day.

He doesn’t give a ‘Rat’s patoot about the people who will actually die without air conditioning. Many, many elderly people have died and will die during heat waves. High rise apartments will become greater death traps for the poor and the feeble. Never mind the untold millions of people who will be perpetually miserable during summers in this nation.

Democrats don’t care about the poor, or about who they hurt.
