COVID-19 and climate change: ‘The parallels are screaming at us,’ says John Kerry

‘It’s a tragically teachable moment. I don’t say this in a partisan way. But the parallels [between COVID-19 and climate change] are screaming at us, both positive and negative. Just think about it. This moment in life is inseparable from this moment on earth.’

That’s the take this Earth Day from former Secretary of State and onetime presidential contender John Kerry, who was a participant in the inaugural Earth Day 50 years ago.

He described that Nixon-era march, well before social-media sharing but timed to the launch of the Environmental Protection Agency and other initiatives, as his first moment of activism after arriving home from combat in Vietnam.

The onset of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic from the novel coronavirus has “made more people value science, flattening the curve has given proof of concept to the fact that when lives are on the line, and as people understand that their daily decisions are connected to the lives of others, people everywhere will mobilize,” Kerry said in an interview with Our Daily Planet.

His Bachelors Degree in Political Science gives him such credibility to lecture us about climate science.

Why post two day old bullshit?

Kerry is as much a favorite villain here as is Her Thighness, going back to his 2004 Presidential run. Many here were involved in helping to swiftboat him and to discredit his very questionable military heroics.

That answer your question, n00b?

Johnboy needs to stay on his Thorazine medications...
It's sad to see him mentally haunted by his experiences as a revered veteran/hero of the D-Day landings on Omaha beach, the landings on both Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and the long fighting-trek at the frozen Chosin ...

The absolute takehome from the Wuhan virus episode, is that the models are wrong. By several orders of magnitude, and they are weighted in favor of the catastrophists.

Since there actually is a virus (as opposed to anthropogenic GW), one is forced to conclude the virus models probably are less wrong than the climate models.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Kerry can put ketchup on his models and eat them.

So if one state has a recorded high temperature and another state has a recorded lower than normal temperature, that’s climate change. But if they report just the one state’s higher than normal temp, well that’s global warming.

Yeh they are similar. Bad computer models, garbage in/ garbage out. To ‘find’ whatever they want to find and compel us to believe. The parallels are screaming ‘we are lies’ and ‘you, john kerry, are a liar.’

He is absolutely right. The temporary destruction of the world economy is a hint of the permanent destruction if the climate alarmists get to implement their agenda.

Frenchie is right because both are being shown to be bull shit and not reflective of the truth.

Hey John!

For "parallels" check the HCQ protocol and Wuhan virus symptom relief.
