Kerry to Travel to Antarctica, State Dept Grilled Over Why
November 4, 2016 4:55 pm
After announcing that Secretary of State John Kerry will be traveling to Antarctica, State Department spokesman John Kirby was grilled over why Kerry was traveling there and the trip’s cost to taxpayers.
Kerry will travel to a research station at the South Pole in a trip that begins Monday.
Kirby said the foreign minister of New Zealand would not be accompanying Kerry when asked by reporters. Flights to the South Pole normally stop in New Zealand first. Reporters then asked what the diplomatic purpose of the visit is. Kirby said the reason is climate change.
“The purpose for the South Pole was to talk to researchers and scientists largely about climate change research,” Kirby said.
Kirby was unable to provide an estimated cost for Kerry’s trip.
“There’s some criticism that this trip is basically, you know, the secretary wants to knock Antarctica off his bucket list and he’s doing it on taxpayer expense,” a reporter said.

Isn’t Antarctica the 54th state?
Going to Antarctica will convince Kerry that Global Warming killed them off, since the only land (Well semi-land mammals!) are seals.
Just a waste of a trip to promote the global warming scam AND be a notch in Kerry’s belt to say “I’ve been to all the continents.”
How could you tell. (He has been to Viet Nam you know)
He’s negotiating with the aliens there for Podesta.
I’m hoping he goes wind surfing with a pod of killer whales. They could use variety in their diet.
Talking the scientist onsite will heighten the urgency of his call for Climate Change, being recognized as the single largest threat to mankind.
This to boost his demand that the US bow to his version of Gai worship.
Funny thing, within the last couple of days, there has been warnings of Global Cooling, and the beginning of a mini-ice age.
So “Climate Change” cover all. To me it’s just the weather.
Wow. Reporters actually doing their job!!!

how about “to be safe from terrorist attacks”?
“The purpose for the South Pole was to talk to researchers and scientists largely about climate change research,”
Burn thousands of tons of carbon so one guy can do what could be done via smartphone.
Drive thousands of cars to protest an oil pipeline.
I’m done with climate change hysteria.
It’s a cover for a quick stop on Easter Island for a family reunion...
Kerry will be launching the maiden voyage of the ice floe Teresa on its one-way voyage.
Good, let him travel to Antarctica...
...then, when he deplanes, shut the door and take off ASAP. Leave the arrogant horse’s ass there to freeze, or be eaten by a polar bear.
“How could you tell. (He has been to Viet Nam you know)”
He would not come back to the USA!
“I’m hoping he goes wind surfing with a pod of killer whales. They could use variety in their diet.”
No Way! Even Killer whales have food standards.
Yet more ridiculous BS from our “leaders”. Yet more wasting of taxpayers’ money by our “leaders”? What a pathetic group our “leaders” are. Truly subhuman pathetic...
Perhaps start a post-Trump-alance election commune/colony?
All Aboard!
That's funny - it was in the cage a minute ago.
