John Kerry isn’t going quietly into the night
Boston Globe ^ | 12/2/16 | Lakshmanan

"We’re going to have one hell of a debate over the course of the next few years . . . and I can promise you this . . . I am not going to go quietly into the night,’’ Kerry declared to raucous applause from the Women’s Foreign Policy Group, which gathered in Washington Tuesday for what was billed as a valedictory address. What they got instead was a cri de coeur not to toss hard-fought deals in the dustbin."

We’re fighting “a dragon called trade,” when the issue is “inequity”: lack of education, retraining, good wages, adequate Social Security benefits, a workers safety net, he said.

But he saved his most passionate defense for climate accords like the Paris deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That’s not surprising: My first interview with Kerry, 19 years ago, was at climate talks in Kyoto, Japan, when he was already deeply concerned about the threat to the planet.

The ultimate proof that traitor john kerry is an idiot is that he believes anyone cares what he says about anything. He will go down in history as a stain...a smudge...not even a footnote. I laugh at this wealthy buffoon and bloviator supreme.

But he saved his most passionate defense for climate accords like the Paris deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Everything you need to know about the AGW movement was stated quite clearly by the UN's top climate official in 2015:

"This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history.

"This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation."
--Christiane Fugueres, Executive Secretary of UNFCCC

No one denies that the climate changes. What folks deny is giving elites like Kerry carte blanche to syphon away all the people’s money “fighting” it.
