Kerry: 'Life as You Know It on Earth Ends' If Climate Skeptics Are Wrong
cns news ^ | 10/13/14 | c bannister

"Life as you know it on Earth ends" if climate change skeptics are wrong, Sec. of State John Kerry declared Thursday. But, even if climate alarmists are wrong, nothing bad can come of enacting their taxes, restrictions and regulations, Kerry said in a speech at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center:

"I'd just say to all of you here that people need to feel the pressure from you. You all know what politics is about. I'm not in it now, but I'm dependent on it to help make the right decisions so that we move in the right direction. A clean energy future is not a fantasy. Changing course and avoiding the worst impacts of climate change is not a fantasy. And supporting healthier communities and ecosystems and driving economic growth and job creation - none of that is a fantasy.

"And for those people who still stand in the way, for those people who even still today want to try to question whether or not their science is effective or not, I'd just ask you - ask a simple question: If we're wrong about this future, what's the worst that could happen to us for making these choices?

"The worst that could happen to us is we create a whole lot of new jobs, we kick our economies into gear, we have healthier people, healthier children because we have cleaner air, we live up to our environmental responsibility, we become truly energy independent, and our security is stronger and greater and sustainable as a result. That's the worst that happens to us."

The nation that doesn’t hang its traitors ends up ruled by them.

The worst that could happen is that we all pay a huge amount of our income to new taxes that do nothing but create government bureaucrats and route our hard earned money to turd world dictators.

You can see that the over-confidence is beginning to crack when he says “if climate skeptics are right ...” because five years ago it was always “climate skeptics of course are wrong as we all know.”

Five more years and it will be, “okay, climate skeptics were right, but don’t throw out the Agenda, we need the green economy,” whereas ten years from now, it will be, “your honour, I was only following the advice of people who posed as experts in their field, go find them.”

And twenty years? Do you know how to make a tasty polar bear stew?

As someone pointed out, it’s not about being right, it’s about being righteous. Liberals don’t give a damned about results as long as they feel good about it.

It would be interesting to see what kind of “carbon footprint” the H.J. Heinz Company has, and how much it’s various plants, warehouses, fleet of vehichles, etc. contribute to “Global Warming.”

It is pure hubris to think us puny humans can control anything on our planet, especially the temperature. How are we going to stop the next volcanic eruption?

“[American troops in Vietnam] personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, [blew] up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam ........”

“You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” —John Kerry

“American soldiers [are] going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the of the historical customs, religious customs.” —John Kerry in 2005

This traitor should have been prosecuted and silenced so many long years ago.

Kerry is just one example of what the despicable, corrupt and treasonist democrats place in power over the rest of us.

Vote to remove the democrats from power, NOW, and then bring justice to these bastards.

“How are we going to stop the next volcanic eruption?”

Easy. I have run this through my computer models and it works!!

Fill the volcanos with democrats. Sure, there is an outside chance that it might not work, but it’s worth a try.

The Government planning the economy. It didn't work out the first few times it was tried but we know we've got the hang of it now. You just have to trust us.

So let’s enact climate change laws so we can say “We had to destroy the world as we knew it in order to save it...”
