Kerry: Climate Change as Dangerous as Terrorism
By MATTHEW LEE | July 22, 2016 | 5:00 PM EDT
 
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday that climate change is as dangerous as, if not more, than the threats posed by the Islamic State and other extremist groups.

Speaking Friday in Vienna at an international climate change conference, Kerry said the issue might not get as much public attention as terrorism but that the meeting is as important as a gathering he hosted only Thursday in Washington on combatting the Islamic State.

"What you are doing here right now is of equal importance, because it has the ability literally to save life on this planet," Kerry told the conference of parties to the 1987 Montreal Protocol, a global treaty to end the use of many chlorofluorocarbons from aerosols and refrigerants that deplete the ozone layer.

And this is why radical Islam doesn't fear us and attacks with impunity.

Excellent point! :thumbsup3:

America/the world to Kerry: "Thinking is too dangerous to you-  We suggest you try not to think- oh wait- We see you already did!"

I like this headline better:

It demonstrates that the real threat we face is from these Regressivists.

Kerry: Air conditioners as big a threat as ISIS

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 led 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.”

Members of the Montreal Protocol have met their obligations and have aided in the shrinking of the hole in the ozone, as well as created jobs and improved the quality of life, Kerry said.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy was also present at the negotiations and is serving as the lead negotiator for the United States. McCarthy has said that her goal is to enact the HFC agreement by the end of the year.

New EPA rules along with the global deal would band HFCs in the United States and push for alternative chemicals for use in appliances. The negotiations are part of President Obama’s climate agenda to combat global climate change.

Just wait till ISIS starts filling refrigerators with shrapnel and blowing them up in public places. The double whammy!

Here is how you respond to idiot Liberals when they say Global Warming is as dangerous as Terrorism.


The only question you have to ask Kerry, and his Starbucks drinking, vegan, hippy, following is:


If Global Warming and Terrorism are equally dangerous, then why do you constantly harp on Global Warming and want to "change the world" to combat it, and yet you consistently and willfully dismiss terrorism as being quote, "no big deal"? Just one guy...a JV team...a few mentally deranged people, and nothing more.


Which is it? If Global Warming is going to destroy mankind, and terrorism is equally as dangerous as Global Warming is, then isn't terrorism going to destroy mankind as well? Ich verstehe nicht.


Of course we all know that logic never works on Liberals, because they cannot comprehend it. Once you finish asking my question, there is no doubt you will be called a "racist" and get kicked out of the room. That is the only way Liberals ever deal with any kind of dissent or questioning of anything they say or believe. The enemy of Liberalism is logic and truth. But their biggest foe of all, Liberal kryptonite, is always simple reality.

[mountaineer]

By the same token, 240B, one might ask a liberal why asking a voter for ID is racist but doing the same - PLUS a background check and waiting period - for a potential gun purchaser is not. Logic is not part of the equation in liberal land.

"Kerry: Climate Change as Dangerous as Terrorism"

Actually, I sense that elitist guys in bunny suits are far more dangerous to our freedom than are terrorists...

[240B]

If terrorism and global warming are equally dangerous, why do Liberals insist that terrorism is "the new normal", but at the same time insist that billions of dollars and global socialism must be used to stop Global Warming? Why can't Global Warming be the new normal?

Why not use billions to defeat terrorism which is killing us now, and then deal with possible future climate issues?

Why does terrorism always get a pass, and yet climate change is the most important thing known to man?

My neighbor has an air conditioner, drives an SUV, and get this, mows their lawn with a gas lawn mower. Should I be concerned, or am I  just being paranoid.

Good Grief! John Kerry Says Refrigerators Are As Dangerous As ISIS

July 24, 2016| by Brian Anderson

If you want to know why the world is so screwed up, look no further than Obama, and more specifically whom he chooses to be Secretary of State. In his first term, Hillary Clinton bungled every thing from Russia to Libya. In his second term, John Kerry took over and brought a level of cluelessness to the job that would be hilarious if it weren’t so terrifying. In his latest underestimation of global threats, Kerry insists that refrigerators are just as dangerous as ISIS.

The Washington Examiner reports that Kerry was in Vienna, Austria trying to hammer out yet another global warming pact that everyone will ignore. The point of this pointless deal would phase out hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, which are used in refrigerators and air conditioners.
 
Kerry was trying to give a pep talk to negotiators who apparently have been slogging it out all weekend long. This is what he said to raise their spirits:

In Brenda Elliott and Aaron Klein's book "Fool Me Twice" there is an entire chapter...maybe two I'll have to go back and look...detailing how this Administration wanted to use the military to fight global warming.

I think that philosophy is what we're seeing on display here.

Goodness Gracious- and you haven't turned them in yet? My neighbor has a chicken that farted a lot- I turned them in immediately- they are now doing 20 years for 'crimes against the environment'

Who'd have thought, just a generation ago, that the largest political party in America would have as one of its top priorities, a plot to engineer the weather?

Back then people would look at these guys as if they were madmen.
