Cybercast News Service ^ | 3/20/13 | Susan Jones

Describing himself as "a child of the ocean," Secretary of State John Kerry warned that the "fragile ecosystem" is threatened by climate change. "We call this beautiful planet that we are privileged to inhabit for a short period of time -- we call it Earth, but it could well have been called Ocean because three-quarters of it is ocean," Kerry told a gathering at the National Geographic Society in Washington on Monday. Kerry mentioned the "enormous challenge ahead of us," given an "energy policy that results in acidification, the bleaching of coral,

I wonder how many Billions (Trillions?) he stands to make in the Carbon Credit trading scam if it's revived?

We call it Kerry, but it could well have been called Oompa-Loompa.

Describing himself as "a child of the ocean,"

Mr. Swift Boat Captain is a child of the ocean.

He turned and ran from a gunboat fight so quickly that one of his passengers fell overboard and he had to return and pick him up.

True story. Hope everyone here will always remember that.

Kerry, just go out to your home and keep going until you can't see any of that nasty old land.

Do you know anything about the Ross Sea Region that they want to make into a protective area? That is why he was at this reception.

I’m laughing but should be crying over what this country has turned into.

Interesting you bring up Asimov. I am having trouble finding Kerry's phrase in use by Asimov, but it comes close.

“Any planet is 'Earth' to those that live on it.”

Asimov rejected God too.

“I am frequently asked if I have visited Israel, whereas yet, it is simply assumed that I have. Well, I don’t travel. I really don’t, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic, I was not. I said: what are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive, and Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can’t help but feel that the Jews didn’t really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can’t really turn it back. (#92 ff.)”

I heard Asimov say just what Kerry said about ‘earth” & “ocean” on his TV show from the 1980s or 90s.

Is this the proper role of the Secretary of State of the United States of America? It is when Marxists are running the administration.

Another view.
On the left, all the water on the planet. On the right, the entire atmosphere.

No, it couldn't be called ocean because its given name is "earth".

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

I would love to see a copy of that. I have not found a link so far.

Dear Fishhead,

Young children and teenagers aged 17 and under, have never ever experienced a warming Earth. The Earth has not warmed in 17 years. The Party is over. You are going to have to come up with another scam to steal money from people.

And BTW - Japanese experts claim up to 93 billion becquerels per day of radioactive cesium-137 is being poured into the Fukushima Daiichi Harbor located on the Pacific Ocean of Planet Ocean (according to Fishhead).

So Fish Head, what are you going to do about that real pollution ?

What are you doing about that real problem ?

I know. You fish heads are all alike. Why spend money fixing a real problem when you can blow money fixing a nonexistent problem.
