Secretary of State John Kerry winged his way Monday from New Zealand to the Middle East on the next leg of what may be his longest trip yet, a journey during which America’s top diplomat will account for roughly 16.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
That’s more or less the amount of CO2 – one of the key “greenhouse gases” blamed for global warming – produced by the average American in a full year, according to World Bank data [1].
Climate change features prominently on Kerry’s itinerary on his current trip, an eight-day haul from Washington to New Zealand to Antarctica – where he became the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit – and on to two Arab Gulf states and then Morocco before winging to Peru and then back home.
The Antarctica visit, which included a stop at the McMurdo research station on Ross Island, was focused primarily on climate change – Kerry spoke about concerns that should a huge ice sheet break up and melt sea levels could rise by 12 feet.

It isn’t wise to call a public person a buffoon just because one disagrees politically with them.
Except in the case of Lurch Kerry.
... as much CO2 as the average American produces in a year...
And that’s just from transportation, before he opens his horse-faced mouth!

Ice sheet breakup and melt could raise sea levels by 12 feet? Seems like Lurch skipped all his science and math classes. Sea levels wouldn’t go up at all. Not one millimeter.
Let's do some math for the World's dumbest hypocrite:
There are 140,000,000 square miles of ocean. There are only 5,400,000 square miles of Antarctica. For Kerry’s sea level rise, we need a “sheet” of ice the entire size of Antarctica that is 311 feet high, that is ALL ABOVE SEA LEVEL, to somehow slide into the ocean and melt.
Someone please take away this dork's hall pass and send him back to Boston College's remedial math 101.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Quite a bit of the Antarctic continent is covered by ice that is ONE MILE thick. There is enough there to actually raise the oceans if it ever came to that.
Yes, and how is it going to fall into the ocean when it is a thousand miles from water? It ain’t gonna melt down there, despite what Kerry hopes.
When you travel around on interstates and look at the roadcuts, you see what are called bedding planes in the rock. They are the long, linear parallel lines that you see in the rock. These are the result of the rise and fall of sea level in geologic history. Many of them are the result of sea level fluctuations from “climate change” in years past. Two things that are not constant on this planet are the climate and sea level. What many people also fail to realize is that the South Pole is a desert. So for new ice to form, it has to fall as snow. If there has been a change in the amount of ice down there, it could be just from a long term drought.
Dopes that take into account his constant “old guy” farting? Enquiring minds want to know...
All I said was that “...if it came to that.”
“Ice sheet breakup and melt could raise sea levels by 12 feet? Seems like Lurch skipped all his science and math classes. Sea levels wouldn’t go up at all. Not one millimeter.”
Under his belief system, we should ban all shipping, because we all know that each one of them contributes to the raising of sea levels! I guess Lerch is related to Congressman Hank Johnson of “Guam is Capsizing Fame!”
