Secretary of State John Kerry took time out of his global travels on expensive jet airplanes to remind people of the evils of … global warming. While Kerry tries to cut a deal with Iran that will supposedly stop the nation’s chief state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining nuclear weapons, he told students in Indonesia that the biggest weapon of mass destruction of all was anthropogenic climate change:
“Think about the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. It doesn’t keep us safe if the United States secures its nuclear arsenal while other countries fail to prevent theirs from falling into the hands of terrorists,” Kerry told students at a high-tech U.S.-funded cultural center at a Jakarta mall.
Kerry added, “The bottom line is this: it is the same thing with climate change. In a sense, climate change can now be considered another weapon of mass destruction, perhaps even the worlds most fearsome weapon of mass destruction.”
Kerry then went on to tell Indonesians that their country will get swallowed up by climate change, and call for people to ignore skeptics about the supposedly conclusive science of global warming — referring to them as Flat Earth Society members:
“Because of climate change, it’s no secret that today Indonesia is…one of the most vulnerable countries on Earth,” Kerry said. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that the entire way of life that you live and love is at risk.”
Kerry went on to deride scientists and citizens who challenge global warming’s scientific validity.
“We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts,” said Kerry. “The science is unequivocal, and those who refuse to believe it are simply burying their heads in the sand. We don’t have time for a meeting anywhere of the Flat Earth Society.”
That must be how science works, right? People declare that a scientific theory is proven, and then silence all those who question it. Wait, what? The scientific method requires questions and testing of theories and models? Who knew?
Speaking of models, the current plateau in warming despite the continuing release of carbon into the atmosphere is going on 16 years now, almost utterly outside the range of AGW models’ potential calculations. That question arose this summer, even before the cold winter in 2014. The rate of warming had nearly stopped after 1998, which challenged all of the assumptions of CO2-based warming, let alone deal with the question of optimum temperature. We still haven’t reached the same temperature levels as seen in the Roman Empire, for instance, nor is Greenland a farming opportunity as it was in the medieval era.
The demand to stop asking questions and testing the theory isn’t science-based; it’s political. The more that politicians demand that people stop questioning their use of the hypotheses of AGW for their preferred policies of top-down control of energy production, the more obvious those politics become.
Some people can never get their heads out of the sand.
Must be terrible to be that stupid and ignorant.
RE; Must be terrible to be that stupid and ignorant.
... and RICH!!
Fantasy: to have a blizzard’s worth of snow land on roof of Al Gore’s house and cave the roof in. Same for Kerry.
Has Kerry EVER been correct on any topic?
He’s statistically amazing. He’s Never right.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Who votes for someone this dense?!?!?!
...and yet Kerry keeps promoting his anti-Science Socialist agenda...
John F’n Kerry is a useful, er, useless idiot. At least Gore shut up a little about it. Lind of embarrassing to keep up the globull warming charade with the northern hemisphere covered with ice. I’m sure it was a very lucrative run for him though while it lasted.
Nah, for Western ‘civilization’ it’s the Pill.
Kerry’s apocalyptic doomsday talk about this reminds me of some advice that I heard Levin give the GOP last week,
he was telling them to make apocalyptic doomsday predictions about what the national debt will do : 401ks gone, houses gone, pensions gone, entitlements gone.savings accounts gone..hyperinflation (I think that was it)...for the next debt limit fight.
Climate change is one of the few things that is as big a FAIL as Kerry himself
Kerry is the biggest idiot of all.
A living tribute to the Peter Principle.
Does anyone anywhere take anything this yahoo says seriously?
So, who’s the bigger idiot, Kerry or the electorate of MA? I think the later. He’s their creation...
My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump.
Kerry’s peace-in-our-time statement is on its way.
Terribly stupid and ignorant, however noble!
The ONLY target of this Algore SCAM orchestrated DESTRUCTION is to OUR FREEDOMS.
With the alleged fall of communism (actually, they just swapped their uniforms for blue suits, tucked their pistols into their waistbands and changed their names — and darned if one didn’t move into the White House!), the Globull Elite needed a new BOOGEYMAN with which to frighten and control the dumb masses (say it fast for maximum effect): THE ECOLOGY and MAN CAUSED GLOBULL WARMING GOT THE NOD!
Oh yeah, I forgot the cool part about picking the pockets of the wealthier nations to enrich some of these global elitists and their leading drum major, Algore, while bleeding the nasty old United States white. (PAGING ALGORE – PAGING ALGORE…log into your dozen bank accounts ASAP. They are WAAAYYYY over the FDIC insurance limit! Username reminder: FREAKING_PHONEY/Password reminder: Village_idiot)
The elitists’ ultimate goal in this man-caused GLOBULL WARMING HYSTERIA is to level the nasty old U.S. with the Turd World despotisms with which we are to be merged into their New World Odor (misspelling intentional) where TADA (trumpet fanfare here!), the GLOBULL ELITES will BE IN CHARGE.
And to reinforce the point, old Algore – ripping a page from the Joe Biden Foot in Mouth playbook or, in the alternative, displaying a level of brazenness reflective of the ignorance and apathy among the elitists’ soon to be serfs/slaves (that’d be the rest of us) — recently offered that Cap and Trade would be the final step in destroying any remaining American sovereignty and haul us once and for all into his longed for global governance.
TWO VIDEOS FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT (until Algore gets them pulled):
This one is about the 30,000 climate scientists who want to SUE GORE for FRAUD and runs about 5 minutes:

THIS video is the blockbuster film “The Great Global Warming Swindle” and runs 1 hour, 45 minutes (get comfortable, grab a stiff libation and prepare to become progressively more angry. Suggest you remove all throwable items from the area.)

ALL TOGETHER NOW…
“If you’re happy and you know it CLANK YOUR CHAINS…”
Questions??
John Kerry is a global embarrassment. Right after BNOC.
Amen, brother...
This country truly dodged a bullet when the “Swift-boaters” went public to out Kerry for the stupid charlatan that he is. Kerry, Pelosi, Boxer, and Obama all together can't tell an ass from a hole in the ground.
