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. Its hard for some people to grasp it, but what weyouare 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, its because it is. Its the equivalent to emissions from nearly 300 coal-fired power plants every single year.

Before I turn on my air conditioner I lock up all my AR-15’s. Wouldn’t want to be attacked by a radical cooling device.
About 95 in Long Beach CA. Around 110-115 In palm springs
This guy is the absolute epitome of what Trump meant when he said “We have to get the stupid people out of Washington”. Sooooo right!
Worst threat to mankind is a Democrat mouth emptying a Democrat brain onto humanity.
Well I guess the Obama administration is now RATIONALIZING terrorism...by comparing it to air conditioners. Sick bastards.
Thanks to Kerry I just logged into my home AC via the internet and cranked it down to 68 to prepare for my arrival.
Cant wait to step into the ice cool breeze after a 95 degree day!
What a freak! If it weren’t for air conditioning, my mother would probably be dead by now.
John Kerry: future mother-killer.
This is a perfect example of how serious the democrats take the moslem danger.
114 here in AZ, Kerry is right.
The danger from my air conditioner dieing is greater than the ISIS threat at this moment.
Radical air conditioning keeps me up at night.
John F’n Kerry the Gigolo. This guy is just a typical democrap. He’s lost and totally useless.
Great timing!
The contractors will finish the installation of my brand new central air unit tomorrow.
The window unit just isn’t cutting it anymore.
HFCs have been created in so many varieties and they provide a life saving function in so many things. From asthma inhaler propellant to use in medical procedures.
It’s not just refrigeration.
Actually, Kerry is right. Six people were killed by Global Warming in Munich today.
This is Great News!
Dear Mr Trump,
Please issue an EXECUTIVE ORDER on Secretary John Kerry’s Behalf.

Call it the KERRY ACT!!
" Then why are they not at least dropping Air Conditioners from 30,00 ft on ISIS, 2 birds, one stone?"
Brilliant
#### that. My AC gets stopped, then it’s war.
