Kerry: Air conditioners as big a threat as the Islamic State
https://www.jihadwatch.org ^ | 07/22/2106 | Robert Spencer

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 lead 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.”…

Question; Then why are they not at least dropping Air Conditioners from 30,00 ft on ISIS, 2 birds, one stone?

Answer: Because they don;t actually want to stop ISIS...

Current temperature in Vienna: 24 C (75 degrees F).

Enjoying Vienna on the taxpayer’s dime?

Lear Jet Leftists will form the core of the global Green Inner Party. They will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer — while deciding your fate for you.

If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Green Outer Party. You will be allowed occasional servings of meat - and air conditioning on a rationed basis.

The rest of us will eat insects and swelter – ‘for the good of the planet’.

He should set an example and have them removed from all of his properties. Then we can “chat” about his idiot opinion.

First order of business, then, is to remove AC systems from all federal government buildings in the US—Starting with the State Department in DC.

Kerry’s and Clinton’s criminal incompetence has been a larger threat to US security. An air conditioner has a larger IQ than Kerry.

Yep its hard for us bitter clingers to grasp what Kerry is saying. Only brilliant intellectual liberals such as himself can grasp how important global warming is. Only intellectuals such as himself and Obama and Hillary can see that global warming is a greater threat than ISIS.

It is 101F this afternoon in north central Texas. Should I be scared of my AC units and refrigerator?

Another example of the Left losing their collective (pun intended here!) minds on July 22, 2016....
