John Kerry: Forget Trump. We All Must Act on Climate Change.
The New York Times ^ | December 13, 2018 | by John F. Kerry

Posted on 12/13/2018 9:35:33 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

This week is the third anniversary of the Paris climate agreement. The Trump administration marked it by working with Russia and Gulf oil nations to sideline science and undermine the accord at climate talks underway in Katowice, Poland.

While I was in New Delhi this week, where I met with solar energy advocates, a comment made thousands of miles away by the journalist Bob Woodward almost jumped off my iPad: The president, he said, “makes decisions often without a factual basis.” This isn’t a mere personality quirk of the leader of the free world. It is profoundly dangerous for the entire planet.

Scientists tell us we must act now to avoid the ravages of climate change. The collision of facts and alternative facts has hurt America’s efforts to confront this existential crisis. Ever since Mr. Trump announced that he would pull America out of the Paris accord, those of us in the fight have worked to demonstrate that the American people are still in.

But the test is not whether the nation’s cities and states can make up for Mr. Trump’s rejection of reality. They can. The test is whether the nations of the world will pull out of the mutual suicide pact that we’ve all passively joined through an inadequate response to this crisis.

Guess the professional traitor wasn’t paying attention. We only had until 2010 to save the planet. Too late now.

No, Horseface is behind the times. He forgets that having elected Ebola, the oceans fell and so on and so on, so it’s all good now.

The ketchup man needs to be careful here. It will affect his tomato crops. Besides, why is he still around? He’s totally irrelevant. Surely, somewhere, a coffin is missing a horse face. The sooner they get together, the better.

Remember in 04 when Kerry ran against W and he was constantly running his mouth about the “Global Test” ?

He should have been more accurate and called it the “Globalist Test”.

Has Mr. Kerry never heard of doing video conferences for these big climate meetings, so the attendees can do their part to save the earth?

Yep, why is he implying he went to India to meet with solar energy people? He went there to go to that wedding.

Why was Hillary there too, with Huma Abedin? Was Bill there too?

Is Kerry trying to divert attention from Trump skunking Pelosi and Schumer yesterday?
That Oval Office sit-down? Pelosi and Schumer got skunked.

You first, ketchup man. Sell ALL of your houses, donate all of your money to your ‘cause’ and go live under a bridge.

And stay out of the public eye. You’re scaring the children.

And Kerry demonstrates his devotion to the cause by flying private jets to and from India to attend a wedding.

Kerry’s credibility was established during his winter soldier testimony.

Anyone know if Kerry has his house retro fitted with solar and wind power on his wife’s houses, or is he just paying the bs carbon tax to live like the jet setting, polluting hypocrap all Democraps are?

He speaks French, non? Let him fly to France (he seems to like flying, does he not) and convince the gilets jaunes.

Anyone listen to the Chris Plante show today? He was talking about how Hillary and Lurch went to a wedding in India paid for by the biggest polluter in India, this oil and has billionaire where they estimated the pollution kills 1.4 million people a year there. The left: Exteme hypocrisy is their religion.
