(CNSNews.com) – That climate change is happening and that humans are largely responsible should be as universally accepted as the law of gravity, Secretary of State John Kerry suggested Thursday.
“When an apple falls from a tree, it will drop toward the ground. We know that because of the basic laws of physics,” he said in a speech at the Atlantic Council in Washington. “Science tells us that gravity exists, and no one disputes that.”
“So when science tells us that our climate is changing and humans beings are largely causing that change, by what right do people stand up and just say, ‘Well, I dispute that’ or ‘I deny that elementary truth?’ ”
Any yet some do, Kerry said, pointing – without naming the state – to recent reports claiming that state officials in Florida had banned the use of the term “climate change” in official documents. (Florida Gov. Rick Scott has denied the claim.)
“Literally a couple of days ago, I read about some state officials who are actually trying to ban the use of the term ‘climate change’ in public documents because they’re not willing to face the facts,” he said.

Another elementary truth is that Kerry is as stupid as a toad.
No, climate change is in no way comparable to gravity. In fact, gravity calculates with accuracy, how orbits and falling objects will proceed in their motion. Climatology on the other hand, has projections, which, when it comes to the details, haven’t really predicted much with accuracy, and a lot of times they claim prediction after the fact, like some loony conspiracy nut claims he predicted 9/11 when before 9/11, the specifics are not really there.
I am not a climate change fanatic, but even I can tell you that his CO2 emissions were higher by flying in a jet than by actually teleconferencing using a strong internet connection from somewhere else.
Warmer = Good in climate history. In fact, try living during the little ice age, if you think that now is really bad.
