John Kerry Would Sue Trump for 'the Lives That Will be Lost' Due to Climate Change

Former Secretary of State John Kerry, author of Every Day is Extra, predicted that “lives will be lost” due to President Trump’s position on climate change, calling his time in office a matter of “life and death.”

“This is why it’s the anecdote to what Bob Woodward lays out [in his new book Fear: Trump in the White House]. This book describes how we accept and fight, many times unsuccessfully, more times successfully, to make our democracy work and never had we needed to do that more than right now. We’re in trouble,” Kerry said about his memoir during a discussion at the Carnegie Center for International Peace on Monday evening.

“I don’t try to be a troublemonger or to be somebody who tries to scare people, but I’m telling you folks – and I write about this in the last chapter of the book – I mean, I wish I could find legal standing to bring a case against Donald Trump for the lives that will be lost and the property that will be damaged and the billions of dollars because of his decision on climate change. This is life and death. Our democracy matters that much,” he added.

Kerry also criticized Trump’s handling of relations with North Korea and Europe.

“What is happening is the sloppiness of the diplomacy that is going on with Kim Jong-un, the sloppiness of his reckless statements in Europe at a time when Europe is already weakened somewhat, and it matters to us more than ever since the end of World War II. I mean, these things matter, enormously, and we’ve got to fight for them,” he said.

That number must be trivial when compared to the slaughter and harvesting of the unborn as well as the number euthanized by obamacare.

We can count actual lives that HAVE BEEN SAVED by carbon-based energy. From the phone call, to the ambulance that responded, to the hospital refrigerator that kept blood and medicine usable for long periods until the call happened and the ambulance arrived. Countless millions of people around the world are alive today because of carbon-based energy.

And that’s just the a number that’s somewhat easy to get a reasonably accurate count. There are so many people who eat daily because carbon-based fuel delivers seed and fertilizer, powers irrigation, and takes crops from the farms to almost every corner of the world. We don’t really know how many of them would be dead like we do with the people who received time critical medical help after calling 911 and riding in an ambulance in countries powered by coal.

Kerry wants to reduce that where it exists and prevent it from being available to a billion additional people.
