Kerry Compares Climate Change to WWII: ‘Different in Character,’ But Same ‘Potential to Do Harm’
PJ Tatler ^ | 8-31-2015 | Bridget Johnson

Secretary of State John Kerry said today at an Arctic conference in Anchorage that “anybody running for any high office in any nation in the world” should visit a place where the “seismic challenge” of climate change is happening “and inform themselves about this.”

“And we as leaders of countries will begin to witness what we call climate refugees moving – you think migration is a challenge to Europe today because of extremism, wait until you see what happens when there’s an absence of water, an absence of food, or one tribe fighting against another for mere survival,” Kerry told the Global Leadership in the Arctic: Cooperation, Innovation, Engagement, and Resilience (GLACIER) Conference.

“We are hardly the first generation in human history to face uncertainty about the future. Seventy-five years ago, our predecessors faced a world that was literally engulfed by strife, where seemingly all of Europe was overrun by evil, and civilization itself seemed to be in peril. We had leaders then who rose to that occasion, and we have all seen a world that is better for what came out of it with the United Nations and multilateralism and commitments to humanitarian and other missions,” he said.

“The threat posed by climate change is obviously entirely different in character. But it is not different in its global reach or its potential to do harm. And the urgent need for global cooperation, for global commitment, for global choices is exactly the same as it was in the 1930s and ’40s and ’50s. If only we fully grasp that, .......

In a sane country, Kerry would have been stood against a wall and shot for treason in 1972; holding hands with Billy Ayers, Jane Fonda, et al.

“seismic challenge” WTF. There is definitely a fissure in Kerry’s brain that is growing larger by the minute. When his head explodes, it will break all previous Richter Scale events.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

We can compare Kerry to a clown with Tourette Syndrome, but that would be unfair to clowns and Tourettes.

Actually, socialism does this kind of harm.

That’s why, if you look at the demographic data on socialist countries, the population growth levels off.

Good Lord this man is a friggin idiot. We have seen that played out on this planet many times in the past 2000 years.

The more actual facts go against them, the more they ratchet up the rhetoric.

What leftists like most about WWII is the sprit of massive collective action, coordinated and overseen by a government full of people they imagine to be like themselves. Global warming offers a similar prospect of massive collective action, this time across the whole globe, but again overseen by people like themselves, and this time with no nasty guns. If global warming didn’t exist (which it doesn’t), they’d have to invent it (which they did).

It would be a real hoot if somebody in Alaska points out the people in said village do that every year (being battered by storms and moved), the difference being seasonal change (winter vs. summer).

If Kerry supports it, I’m against it. Climate Change stqnds to be one of the biggest hoaxes for profit schemes that has ever bee created in the history of Man. Once you understand how it came about and how the fraudsters are going to make a killing by convincing big business that they have to buy X amount of carbon credits or get shut down its going to be bitcoin style mania madness all over again. Carbon credits will become a form of currency. And with the architects of the scheme having full control of the government to pull off the shakedown they stand to make trillions not billions not just from threatening to shut them downn if they don’t pay but from all the green companies that are set up to suck investors dry offering nothing but the promise of future false returns and saying see ya later sucka when they fail because they were only entities on paper alone that were never setup to create a solution in the first place.

“...climate refugees moving...”

When I read that I almost hurt myself laughing at the ugly fool that said it. He wants us to envision masses of civilization walking and crawling on our hands and knees seeking shade and water somewhere.

The only thing not funny about it is that the majority of women and millennials actually believe in that crap.

Our public and private indoctrination centers have done an excellent job of ensuring the destruction of the American lifestyle and dream that us older folks have been lucky enough to live up until now.

I guess the “refugees” will claim the title “liberal lives matter.”

Oh! You can bet that once control over the people occurs (with the help of guns) that guns will be heavily used to ensure that the “proles” adhere to the global warming dictates and rules...for once the people finally realize that the whole global warming thing is nothing but a scam they will revolt.

Maybe Obama is secretly on a visit to the Fairbanks area and the HAARP-(High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) where he will set the controls for a more drastic and alarming kind of “climate change”.

During the battle of the Bulge or Stalingrad etc., I bet the soldiers on both sides wished for global warming!
