Is that John Kerry joke too 2000’s? Anyhow, like any good climate cultists, Kerry decided to glom on to D-Day, which was June 6th, of course
Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry celebrated the 79th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Normandy by likening the historic event that resulted in the deaths of thousands of American and allied service members, and the eventual victory over the Nazi regime, to the fight against climate change.
According to a report by Recharge, Kerry made the comparison in Norway on Tuesday during an appearance at a shipping exhibition in which he was the keynote speaker.
“Today is June 6th. D-Day. One of the most singularly important moments of history,” Kerry told those in attendance. “A moment that calls to mind every single thing that defined the past half of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century.”
“They were fighting for a set of values I would say to you are just as important today as they were then. They put their lives on the line to fight against fascism, tyranny and misinformation and the savage slaughter of innocent lives,” he said.
“Make no mistake, just as that was a fight for the future as much as anything we have ever faced, what we are seeing now is the same,” he later added.
Let me get this straight: Kerry took a long, fossil fueled flight, most likely on a private jet, to Norway to say this malarkey?
According to the report, Kerry argued that failure to address climate change could lead to greater consequences than what the world faced in 1944 when then-German leader Adolf Hitler still controlled much of Europe.
“What is also clear right now is we can also win this fight, but it requires the same level of innovation and mobilization that was required back then by those in the greatest generation,” he said. “Today’s threat comes from all of us. It comes from the result of the things we do or avoid doing.”
The report said that Kerry faulted modern generations for not acting decisively to address climate change, something he argued the generation who took on the Axis powers in World War Two “rose to the occasion” to do.
“This is the fight of our times. A fight against greed, selfishness, disinformation and outright lies and a fight for that cleaner, healthier and more prosperous and safer world,” he added.
When does he start living the carbon neutral life?
Yeah unlike Trump Kerry gave up student deferments to enlist in the USA Navy. He had a crush job on a guided missld fugste but volunteered for Swift boats duty He was recommended go by his commanding officer and received a Silver Star and a Bronze Star
9 of the 10 men he commanded on his 2 Swift boats campaigned for him.
Teach. Most modern jets all get about 20mpg per passenger
They are quite efficient.
John,
There is something strange about Kerry’s service. He obtained a medal in some weird circumstances. But his medals are nothing as he returned them, thus even he did not see the worth. I have noted that Kennedy and Kerry had their respective boat crews think they were great, both were/ are pieces of shit. And crews will willingly say how great you are when you give them money, happened in both cases I would bet.
As to a deferment, all the more power to those that got them. Vietnam was started by Kennedy and LBJ loved it as he got a ton of money selling military equipment. And that was what the war was about. All those poor guys killed and hurt for life so scum Democrats could enrich themselves.
Where were you, a monk in India or too young.
Johnny-do you have a private jet so you can care about “climate change” as much as Kerry does?
John Kerry was and is a piece of shit.
He threw his medals away and attacked other veterans and lied to Congress. Do some resarch.
