Failed presidential candidate John Kerry offered a startling prediction Friday morning: If the U.S. doesn't change its global warming ways, New York City and Boston will be destroyed by flooding by 2036.
"I can say to an absolute certainty," Kerry told radio host Don Imus, "that if things stay exactly as they are today absent some unpredictable change in what's going on, within the next 30 years the Arctic ice sheet is gone.
"Not maybe, not if - the Arctic ice sheet is gone," the Massachusetts Democrat insisted, before offering his hair-raising prediction.
"Already you have the Greenland ice sheet beginning to melt . . . If that melts, you have a level of sea level increase that wipes out Boston Harbor, New York Harbor - I mean, it's just stunning what we're looking at."
Kerry blamed the Bush administration's environmental policies for the coming destruction of New York and Boston.
"Europe and the other countries are responding," he told Imus. "The United States remains oblivious - at least the administration remains oblivious."
Despite the dire warning, Kerry hasn't done much to change his own global warming ways.
At last report, he and his wife still owned several SUV's, a gas guzzling yacht, five BTU gobbling homes and a private jet.
Like fellow environmentalist RFK, Jr., Kerry continues to withold his support for the proposed construction of a wind farm in the waters off Nantucket, where he and his wife own a mansion.
I blame Godzilla!
Rush is on it.
OMG how funny! ROFLOLOL
FEAR MERCHANT, JOHN KERRY!
CAN WE PUT AN AUDIT ON THIS A-HOLE
Goerge Bush hates New York and the Arctic Ice Sheet
Obviously he hasn't been in Boston's Ted Williams tunnel recently! :)
Any chance we can get san francisco on that list?
Excellent!
Somebody needs to explain the Kerry the benefits of this. It will open up shipping lanes through the Northwest Passage which will enable the flow of goods, especially oil from Siberia and Northern oil fields of Canada, out to the east and down to US ports.
I have this visual of Kerry wearing colonial outfit, riding a horse shouting, "The Global warming is coming" bwahahahaha!
I'm lookin' for the downside here... What's the downside?
It's amazing how ignorant a person can be and still have a halfway shot at becoming president. Even among scientists who fully accept global warming theory, no one believes that major sea level changes will or even can occur in 30 years or less. If the temperature went up by the highest, outside estimate of 10 degrees C in the coming century, it would still take centuries for the Greenland ice cap to disappear.
This is as hilarious as when Al Gore gave a speech on Global Warming in NYC on the Coldest day in decades.
I bet he "predicted" he would win the election, too. Keep 'em coming!
In that case we can say goodbye to those liberal rat-holes. California, too.
Or has he?
BS, now i hope he lives long enough so some reporter will track him down and mess with him when hes 93 years old.
