Kerry: Air Conditioners as Big a Threat as ISIS

BY: Alyssa Canobbio July 22, 2016 4:10 pm

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.”

Ketchupman to the rescue. Unfortunately no one told him the jig is up. The issue never was the issue John, and we know that now.

****************** “Kerry can blow my air conditioner” ****

This is a double entendre( a word or phrase open to two interpretations.) You picked the nasty side.

But Kerry is someone who has no cool, no air conditioner would work on him, he would therefore make my air conditioner break down ( blow it.)

John Kerry is a blithering babbling IDIOT. Air Conditioning is refrigeration. It is the exact same thing. It is a sealed system and gas used for refrigeration can be recovered at end of the units life. Refrigeration has saved likely untold hundreds of millions of lives ensuring food can be preserved for long periods of time. BTW doesn’t Lirch own a huge fuel burner he relaxes on? How do Idiots like him find positions in our government?

That was close. Do have central ac or room acs? We’ve got central ac. After your lucky break I’ll have to keep an eye on the old cooling machine.

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 giant nuclear furnace 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?

I’m pretty sure his yacht as a fridge. Oh, and it has “cold wine storage”. Kerry’s a fag.

Also am sure it has air conditioning which if at port, is plugged into dock electrical service and be assured the yacht also remains air conditioned while it is vacant and not in use.

I would be concerned about IS IS tampering with air systems at high profile buildings and events after this Kerry baloney.
