"Mother Nature ... is screaming at us about" climate change, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told the crowd at the opening event of Climate Week NYC 2014. While Kerry used a more measured tone than that which he attributed to Mother Nature, the apocalyptic nature of his warnings were in keeping with her purported sentiment. Using projections that appear hyperbolic, even compared to the worst case scenarios presented in the latest United Nations International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, Kerry said that "we’re on track to warm at at least 4 degrees over the course of the next 20, 30, 40 years, and by the century, even more." Kerry linked the increase to more severe effects of "greenhouse gas levels" than scientists originally figured:

More from the Jon Cary just makes stuff up file. What a total BS artist. What a poseur.
What an ass.
Pretty good meteorology from a C- student and BCD sailor.
is that 20, 30, 40 degree temperature increase to be measured by today’s global temperature or the global temperature from 15 years ago? Or is the 4 years starting back then? It’s all just so confusing anymore.
Tragedy is upon us in a form reminiscent of Genghis Khan.
Nobody else is saying that. Not even the “climate scientists”.
This fool is just making stuff up.
Kerry’s face is on track to fall off in 2-4 months. /botox
Thank God! I have been waiting for this “global warming” to kick in. I had to run my furnace at least 5 times this summer when it was below 60 in my house. I have had to keep my Harley parked in the garage quite a bit this summer so I missed my normal 12000 miles of riding (only got in about 7500).
My garden never grew and my grapes are very small and dry.
Apples did good though - but there is only so much one can do with Apples.
It will be nice to see cotton and tobacco and peanuts growing around here. And corn and beans in Canada.
Bring it on!
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?
He’s so full of sh**.

Dear Mr. Kerry,
Could you please send the 4 degrees this winter. I think you forgot to send it last winter. I shoveled so much snow that I just collapsed in my chair one morning. The good Republicans here in this town thought something terrible had happened to me. The businesses....that I did not build...were not open and I didn’t answer the phone, so they sent an officer of the law for a wellness check. I thought that was real sweet.

You’ve posted this list before. It’s not as good as you think it is.
“Climate scientists” are aware of this argument and have it covered, with claims that “exhaustive observations of solar activity over decades find no evidence of fluctuations in solar output enough to account for global warming”...or words to that effect.
The only way to really press this argument is to find links to sites and to studies that find that there are significant fluctuations in solar activity. I’d personally be interesting in reading those.
Anyway, I agree with you in principle, I just don’t think this one post of yours is so good that it bears repeating. I think if you’re really interested in this angle you should look deeper into it.
4 degrees? I’d be happy if we could warm up more than that by January.
Michigan would like about 20-40 more degrees in the next 4 months.
This is not true.
This is not even close to true.
There is not anybody with half a clue (and I will generously include Kerry in that group) who thinks that this is true.
But Kerry says it anyway.
And the people around him don’t all stand up and shout “BULLSH!T”!
Does that seem right to you?
Just like the IPCC predictions that are “seared in my memory”. They were all bad guesses, too.
Just like his vile boss, Barack "A Lie In Time Saves Nine" O'Bunghole, if he says it, it must be a lie.
IMHO
