John Kerry is yet another in a long line of big carbon footprint liberals who want Other People to be forced to pay taxes and fees and lose liberty and choice, but refuses to make changes in his own life. He’s also unhappy that an actual debate would occur
John Kerry: Disband your climate denial panel, Mr. President
Many have become immune or anesthetized to the daily assault on truth that is the Trump presidency, an alternative reality where North Korea has denuclearized and Russia might not have attacked our elections in 2016. It would be laughable were it not dangerous. Presidents are supposed to hold consensus together, not invent fictions to fray it.
But the administration’s most dangerous collision with facts has been its effort to paralyze U.S. efforts to join the nations of the world in confronting climate change. The White House plans to convene “experts†to “determine†whether climate change is a national security threat. We know what the outcome will be: President Trump’s council of doubters and deniers will convene to undo a 26-year-old factual consensus that climate change is a national-security threat multiplier.
As we careen toward irreversible environmental tipping points, we have no time to waste debating alternative facts only to invest years more reestablishing trust in the real ones. No panel 10 years from now can put the ice sheets back together or hold back rising tides.
Careen! Kerry attempts to make the argument that because some people Believe in man-caused climate change, some of whom are military (remember, the high ranking military members are, by necessity, political animals, and will toe the line in what their superiors want), that we shouldn’t actually debate this whole thing. Why are Warmists always afraid to debate? He calls the panel a “kangaroo court”. Why the fear of a debate, Mr. Kerry? And when are you giving up your own big carbon footprint?
And let’s not forget that Kerry fought hard against the Cape Wind Project, because the wind turbines would have messed up the view for his rich buddies.
And it doesn’t end with military impacts. While climate change didn’t lead to the rise of the terrorist group Boko Haram in Nigeria, the country’s severe drought and the government’s inability to cope with it helped create the volatility that militants exploited to seize villages, butcher teachers and kidnap hundreds of innocent girls.
He’s literally blaming everything on Other People’s use of fossil fuels.
We can spend the next two years debating whether two plus two equals five. But it would mean someday a young American in uniform will likely be put in harm’s way because truth lost out to talking heads. Debate how to address the climate national security threat, not whether it’s real. Mr. President, listen to our military leaders and disband your climate denial panel.
Once you trot out the denial stuff, you’ve abandoned reason and fled into smearing. And people who failed to take the national security threats seriously in the wake of 9/11, which Kerry mentions offhandedly, just because George W. Bush was president, people who were soft on Islamic terrorists, shouldn’t be talking about national security.
Mr. Kerry is correct in his assumption that cow farts are not only an existential threat to our national security but to the existence of mankind itself.
I assume this means leftists thing cows are Trump supporting, homohobic, Islamophobic, anti black racists Hence cows are (as the leftists are so proud to proclaim on every Big Media) an “existential threat” to the universe.
PEOPLE WILL DIE!!!!!!
Just wait till they read the statistics on cow Burps, they’ll declare war on farms and ranches.
Teach typed: some people Believe in man-caused climate change
Actually most people understand that the increase in atmospheric CO2 from fossil fuel burning is causing the Earth to warm, and this understanding comes from evidence, not Belief.
some people Believe that nature, gods or magic causes global warming.
Actually, almost all people know it’s a crock, but the Lefties need to scare people and this is all they’ve got.
this understanding comes from evidence
The fact the guy who created the “evidence” won’t let anybody see it tells you how phony it is.
Anybody who understands even a little science realizes nature causes climate change. hat’s what nature is. Perhaps God may play a role but I doubt it. As far as magic is concerned the only people who believe in magic are those that believe socialism is a viable economic principal.
So when you unequivocally state “fossil fuel burning is causing the earth to warm” are we to understand if there was no human fossil fuel burning the earth would be in a perpetual ice age? Really?

No. With no fossil fuel burning it’s most likely the global mean surface temperature would be about 1 C cooler than now. The increase in CO2 from 280 ppm to 410 ppm over the past century or so resulted from fossil fuel burning. Over the past half million years CO2 dropped to about 200 ppm (glacial periods) and increased to 280-300 ppm (interglacials). We’re currently in an interglacial (Holocene epoch) and the CO2 levels are increasing, now over 400 ppm, the highest in a million years.
If there were NO CO2 the Earth would be in a perpetual ice age.
Jeff,
Once again you are lying. Fossil fuels do not influence the climate. We offer a test for you and Z to do and you can off.
Now what do liberals believe? We are going to all for in 12 years. So why worry about anything? Would a tax, destruction of our economy and world communism save us? I would rather die.

We all die. Deniers have taken to calling all climate realists “communists”, part of the latest right-wing political ploy. A carbon tax will not destroy the economy.
A CARBON TAX will do nothing to stop AGW. NOTHING. NOTHING. What is the point of a carbon tax?
The planet is cooling. It is headed for a mini ice age and potential mini-ice age.
Every paeloclimatologist will tell you that the earth has been a freezer for 99.99 percent of the last 500,000,000 years. So cold the planet has been practically a ball of ice.
Now the left is frantic to return to a ball of ice. AGW is a commie scam to destroy the west. The moment we destroyed our energy sector the communist would be dancing in the Kremlin. The Chinese would quite literally be rolling in the hallways of Tianamen Square.
The world would believe they are watching a SNL skit rather than the reality of the stupidity of a nation controlled by ignoramuses. The left has totally gone off the rails. They no longer hide their desires.
Even making the huge mistake of reprinting the communist manifesto in the Green New Deal and turning their party over to a 29 year old Anti-Christ from Queens.
