Politicians using tragedy to advance an agenda has been a tried-and-true strategy. Paint the idea green and a natural catastrophe became political fodder for former Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry (Mass.).
Kerry appeared on MSNBC on February 6 to discuss storms that have killed at least 50 people throughout the Southeastern United States. So, of course, Kerry used the platform to advance global warming alarmism

I blame John Kerry on Tornadoes.
John Kerry’s face caused tornadoes.
Somewhere I think someone was trying to blame earthquakes on it too if I recall.
What next?
Volcanoes?
Tell John John that is is the coldest winter in West Texas this year than in 18 years.
This Delta Sierra is spreading nothing but Bravo Seirra.
Are you sure it wasn’t the Swiftboat Vets that caused the twisters Sen. Lurch?
Oh Geez, now John’s a meteorologist?
The big problem with Kerry and other liberals, is that they think that if only we were more liberal, all problems would be solved. If only gov’t spent more/did more/supervised more/controlled more, then (blank) would not be a problem.
And even with natural disasters, they are being linked to global warming, which is now a liberal cause which requires gov’t intervention/gov’t taxation/gov’t control of major parts of the economy to resolve, in the world view of the liberals out there.
He was an Admiral in the Cambodian Navy...
John McCain blamed the hurricanes and “violent weather changes” on Global Warming in recent debates:
Jan 24 debate:
I am in favor of cap-and-trade. And Joe Lieberman and I, one of my favorite Democrats and I, have proposed that it’s, and we did the same thing with acid rain. They’re doing it in Europe now, although not very well.
... But climate change, in my view, is real. It can affect states like Florida dramatically because I think it has to do with violent weather changes, as well.
But I am confident, I am confident American technology can — and the embrace of green technologies, many of the things that Rudy just talked about, and nuclear power being one of them — we can reduce these greenhouse gas emissions.
And suppose that we are wrong and there’s no such thing as climate change and we hand our kids a cleaner world.
Jan 30 debate:
I applaud the governor’s efforts [Schwarzenegger] and that of other states in this region and other states across America to try to eliminate the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change.
Now, suppose that the governor and I are wrong, and there’s no such thing as climate change. And we adopt these green technologies, of which America and the innovative skills we have and the entrepreneurship and the free market which is embodied by Senator Lieberman’s and mine cap-and-trade proposal is enacted, and there’s no such thing as climate change. Then all we’ve done is give our kids a cleaner world.
The Global Warming freaks like McCain will destroy our economy. Yet, the fools who vote for him, will complain once the onerous solutions are imposed. Sad.
He should be happy - more windsurfing for him.
And McCain wanted to be VP w this guy.....
Global warming?
Whoa! For a second there I thought he was going to blame Bush!
I think his flip-flopping causes twisters, er, I mean tornadoes.
I wonder if that idiot newt will agree with his buddy john
Yup, all those physics courses that Kerry took are “seared in his mind”. If he only had a mind.
And the western ski slopes benefit greatly from global warming during this scorcher of a winter ay Lurch me boy?
Sen. Kerry Blames high 57 degrees, scattered showers, humidity 77% on Global Warming
