And people told me I was nuts back in 2004 when became a Skeptic because I saw this as all about politics and increasing government power rather than a science
Just for @WTeach2. @JohnKerry says that "We need to get people to behave!" https://t.co/KsViX6XRs3

Should we behave like the 40K who took fossil fueled flights to the latest UN climate conference, COP29? Or Kerry, who has multiple homes, cars, and private jets?
(Fox News) Former Secretary of State John Kerry claimed that there is a “climate emergency,” and suggested that Africans without electricity must select “the right kinds of electricity,” likely referring to green energy production, and that the U.S. must help them to afford it.
Kerry made the comments at a speaking event at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics on Nov. 21, 2024.
The Democrat suggested there will be a need to “declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have. And we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet.”
I prefer to act like Warmists, who refuse to make their own lives carbon neutral. I bet my life is more planet friendly from a real environmental point of view than theirs is, and I bet my carbon footprint is lower than theirs, unintentionally.
(Harvard) “Nobody lives as an island in this process, on this planet,” he said. “And no one country has enough money to deal with the climate crisis.”
And while political shifts are happening all over the world, Kerry said he firmly believes science should lead the way. “Everything I’ve ever done and advocated for in this is based on science. No politics. There’s no liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican electrons or molecules.”
If science leads the way than why does he use so much fossil fuel? And how does he propose to “get people to behave”? Sounds kind of Fascismy.
(I wonder if anyone still remembers the joke about Kerry always saying he was in Vietnam?)
Mr Teach, who was not in Iraq or Afghanistan, yet supported both wars, mocks Mr Kerry, who did serve in Vietnam, for serving in Vietnam.
Mr Teach has no idea how the mass of Americans live their lives, but pretends he does. In the US, CO2 emissions per capita have fallen 33% in two decades! So someone here is cutting emissions. The EU sees a similar decrease. Emissions in China, Russia, India, SA, Middle East and far East have increased. Overall, emissions have increased overall, thanks to China and Russia.
The distinguished Mr Dowd wrote:
Cars have gotten more fuel efficient, as have home appliances. More homes have been insulated. LED bulbs have mostly replaced incandescents and the lied about CFL bulbs. The improvement is based on newer technologies, but little seems based on changes in behavior.
Most of the CO2 reduction came from the switch from coal to natural gas fired electricity generating plants.
Driving more fuel efficient cars, replacing appliances more effcient appliances, insulating homes and buildings, using LED bulbs, adding ceiling fans, planting trees for passive solar blocking are all changed behaviors. Beef consumption per capita is down 30% since the 1970s. Closing coal plants is a change in behavior – as are solar panels and windmills. Modern aircraft are much more efficient.
We’ve reduced CO2 emissions by 1/3 without moving into caves.
Why are you concerned by how others live, since you believe CO2 dependent global warming is a global communist hoax?
First, Lurch lied so much about what he did in ‘Nam, all his squadmates had to set the record straight. Second, Mr Teach said nothing about his war record. Third, the US was attacked by state-sponsored terrorists and our village idiot apparently thinks we should not have done anything about it, although I have no doubt he supports the current Forever War in which a crooked head of state gives a 10% kickback to the Big Guy (assumikng he’s still alive).
He mocked Lurch’s hypocrisy of decrying global wahoo while being a conspicuous consumer of energy as part of his livin’ large lifestyle.
And exactly whose figures is Jeffery using in his claim? I certainly hope not the current malAdministration.
Then there’s the issue of the fact that plant life on this here planet needs all the CO2 it can get. It’s called photosynthesis and it’s been keeping us green for millions of years. But Jeffery expects us to be as unthinking as he is.
H&R Block of Ohio,
You have no idea what you’re typing about, so in that regard, you’ve not grown any.
Still as full of shit as you ever were.
I agree with Kerry. But after 50+ years; of us trying everything under the sun to force him to behave; we are left with only one option. And that; is to force him into a wood chipper.
That is not very nice. Let’s all hope Mr. Kerry dies peacefully in his sleep … sometime really soon. It really is the only way to keep him out of the shadow government that the democrats will form to undermine the elected government of the People.
That’s what we hope happens to Big Doonie – that he die peacefully in his sleep… sometime really soon.
When the old, fat, sickly Trump dies who will the MAGAts worship?
Big Donnie is nominating unqualified sycophants to take over our government, just as described in Project 2025. In 2017 Trump nominated a few qualified men and women who were not his toadies. But not this time around.
Our socialist from St Louis wrote:
Not until after January 21, 2026, so that President J D Vance will still be eligible to be elected twice more.
But our good friend from Missouri just revealed his very personal Trump Derangement Syndrome, because if President Trump dies peacefully in his sleep, Vice President Vance, who has very similar political leanings takes the Oval Office. Policywise, there would be very little change, as Mr Dowd well knows.
Thanks for the update Jeffery Keene. Now we know you still want to murder Trump. Sanitizing it with your cute yarn means nothing.
Filled with hate and zero remorse.
Jeffery Keene has mutated from a mediocracy to an absurdity with little effort and zero introspection.
The cowardly Flaccid Fascist Florida Abortionist, a protege of the bold but fascist Porter William Good of NC and the fascist Dana Pico of KY, ignores a commenter calling for the death of John Kerry but erupts when the exact words are used to describe an ex-president.
Mr Dana has absolutely NO IDEA how ex-Senator JD Vance would ‘rule’. JD is malleable like his benefactor, Big Donnie.
When Big Donnie overreaches and the MAGAocracy loses the House and Senate in 2026, JD will be forced to reroute his trajectory. In 2028, he will have to fight other creep candidates like the evaporating Josh Hawley, and the MAGAtwo man, Big Ronnie DeSantis!
BTW, in the past year Mexico has cracked down bigly on the transit of migrants through their country, just as the US has cracked down on migrants entering the US. Fat Donnie will take credit, LOL. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum drank Fat Donnie’s milkshake – she is much, much smarter and stronger than Big Orange. She poked hole after hole in the tariff threats of the Big Dummy.
The Big Dummy claims Canada, Mexico and China are forcing Americans to take fentanyl, LOL. America has an internal drug problem that global markets are satisfying!!
I can guarantee that if the USA went to an African country and actually built the windmills, ran the grid, and installed electricity to homes all over country A, B, or C, the wires would be stripped within a year or two of turning the grid over to the African country.
Let me tell you a little story. A CIA operation to find one of Al Qaeda’s top operatives who knew he was being hunted and was on the run almost nightly across many Muslim countries was a nightmare because of how said infrastructure was laid out.
Telephone lines ran from a vacant field hub to 134 homes. So when the CIA was able to trace a call to and from him, it turned up in this vacant field. A very talented local was called in, who actually identified the wire and then traced it to a small home some blocks away. A dozen team members descended upon the neighborhood and waited for a call to verify that he was home.
The problem was that tracing this wire only gave us another pigtail of homes so multiple homes had to be hit at the same time to prevent him from fleeing if we(the CIA)chose unwisely.
This is how a very famous Target ended up in Guantanamo.
The moral of this story is 134 lines running from a single hub down streets to homes. If we don’t wire this stuff ourselves, the money will end up in tyrants’ hands and not the people’s homes. People sitting in their cozy American or European Homes where infrastructure is a thing has never traveled to African villages to see the carnage of a life of poverty and understand that Electricity will fail them miserably.
And one of the delegates at this latest meeting was an INDIAN representative of a nation that has nuclear weapons but wants billions a year from the rest of us as it exports trillions a year in goods and services around the world.
Your damn right its all about money. Always has been.
“John Kerry walks into a bar and the bartender asks…?”
KERRY SHOULD BE FORCED TO ‘STAND DOWN’ TOTALLY.
