US Secretary of State John Kerry told attendees at the Global Leadership in the Arctic conference in Alaska that global warming presents a threat every bit as severe as World War II did 75 years ago.
“World War II was the most disastrous event of the twentieth century,” Kerry said. “Over 50 million people died as a result. Global warming could easily top that toll. That is why it is imperative that the leaders of the world steel themselves for the hard choices they will have to make to combat this threat.”
An example of the kind of hard choice leaders have to steel themselves to make is “the possible internment of potentially dangerous segments of the population. Students of history recall that US President Franklin Roosevelt took the hard step of imprisoning Americans of Japanese descent. It is not too difficult to envision a future president taking a similar step to imprison global warming deniers in order to prevent them from impeding the actions necessary to stave off undesirable climate change.”
“Maybe a stint in an internment camp will aid in reeducating these misguided individuals,” Kerry hoped. “But we must be prepared for sterner measures if mere internment fails to do the job. The United States undertook some harsh actions to ensure that World War II could be won. We may have to undertake similarly harsh actions to ensure that the fight against global warming is won.”

Which quotes are Kerry’s and which ones are Satire?
I can’t tell.
Funny, all I can see are lessons from The Three Stooges.
Hey Ketchup Kerry...throw some purple hearts at global warming. That should save us.
The drone drones on. Face palm. Last week it was “We have 500 days to fix this or we’re doomed.”
“World War II was the most disastrous event of the twentieth century,” Kerry said. “Over 50 million people died as a result. Global warming LAWS could easily top that toll."
There. Fixed it.
John “Bluto” Kerry: “Was it over...when the Germans introduced Global Warming?”
