Washington (AFP) - US Secretary of State John Kerry Monday sounded the alarm on the perils facing the world's oceans, calling for a global strategy to save the planet's life-giving seas.

"Let's develop a plan" to combat over-fishing, climate change and pollution, Kerry urged as he opened a ground-breaking two-day conference of world leaders, scientists and industry captains.

"Stewardship of our ocean is not a one-person event... it's a universal requirement," Kerry insisted.

"We as human beings share nothing so completely as the ocean that covers nearly three-quarters of our planet," the top US diplomat said, adding that "each of us shares the responsibility to protect it."

Heads of government and state as well as ministers from some 80 countries gathered with researchers and experts from the fishing, plastics and farming industries for the conference at the State Department.

Im pretty sure Ted Danson covered this around 15 years ago , explaining on the Tonight show that the oceans would be dead in 10 years.

So the Oceans have been dead now for 5 years anyway.

Also, as we were cutting down the equivalent of 100 foot ball fields of rain forest a day 15 years ago, central america is now a desert, right?

It would be nice to focus and weigh the threats we face, And how severe threats are compared to other threats.

Even if we want to say that there is some threat from global warming, it seems clear that Islamic terror and Islamo fascism are far more immediate threats to the world.

December 2013

Al Gore Forecasted “Ice-Free” Arctic by 2013; Ice Cover Expands 50%

Self-styled “global-warming” guru Al Gore (shown) and a gaggle of supposed “climate scientists” have egg all over their faces — big time. In 2007, 2008 and 2009, Gore publicly and very hysterically warned that the North Pole would be “ice-free” by around 2013 because of alleged “man-made global warming.” Citing “climate” experts, the government-funded BBC hyped the mass hysteria, running a now-embarrassing article under the headline: “Arctic summers ice-free ‘by 2013’.” Other establishment media outlets did the same.

Let Kerry be. Sending him over to the Middle East could ignite WWIII.

Gore has an ocean front property. Let him take care of it.
The ocean is not my problem nor will it ever be.

This one's so old, Obama's not even in it! Kerry surrendered in the war on terror many years ago.

What is wrong with this yahoo’s face recently- is it the site of a botox catastrophe, or does he have some kind of disease? I noticed some kind of a change, maybe around the time he became SOS. Seems like his face is frozen into rigor mortis or something....
