Jakarta (AFP) - US Secretary of State John Kerry Sunday issued a clarion call for nations to do to more to combat climate change, calling it "the world's largest weapon of mass destruction".

In a keynote speech, one of a series planned in different countries throughout the year, Kerry sought to make both a moral and economic argument for greater urgency in cutting greenhouse gases.

He warned that low-lying Asian nations and their rich ecosystems were particularly at peril from rising sea levels.

Talking to a crowd of Indonesian agriculture, energy and marine students, he said the country and Southeast Asia were "on the frontlines of climate change".

"It's not an exaggeration to say to you that the entire way of life that you live and love is at risk," Kerry said at a US-run cultural centre in Jakarta, in a speech also fed live to hubs on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra....

...climate change, calling "the world's largest weapon of mass destruction".

My word...how embarrassing...

Is there not ONE person in the administration who is not an absolute clown ?

[oldenuff2no]

Which of the broken never come true models is he using this week?? These people make and sell more models than Matel toys does and there is always a new model just around the corner.

I know how to stop glo bull warming. Simply stop all money that is going to all of this bogus research. The self supporting fairytale weather fantasy will go away and we can get on with our lives.

What we need in 2014 and 2016 is a CHANGE OF CLIMATE.

More flatulence from Herman Munster.

So he is off there telling them exactly how to fleece the American taxpayers out of more of our money, to combat some imaginary crap that he probably knows less about than providing security to embassies in Arab Spring countries.

It is amazing how far the US has fallen. We used to be a beacon for liberty, truth and prosperity. Now we are but whores for tyranny, lies and depravity.

"It's not an exaggeration to say to you that the entire way of life that you live and love is at risk,"

Thanks to Obama and Democrat policies, we are well aware of this

Every dime he has is Theresa’s. Or rather old man Heinz’.

It’s a sure sign that the sun is setting when small men cast large shadows.
