Kerry: 'Life as You Know It on Earth Ends' If Climate Skeptics Are Wrong

"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."

Shhhh... The Vostok ice core expedition proved with real science that for the last 420,000 years, earth climate temperatures increases BEFORE there is EVER, EVER, EVER an increase in global CO2 levels. Real laboratory science is the greatest enemy of the climate change religious zealots.

What is the correct temperature for the earth according to these religious nuts?

If the earths temp goes up a whole 5 degrees, at the poles -35 instead of -40, the ice doesn't melt.

Under Democrat rule “life as I know it” isn’t so much to crow about anyhow.

And while you’re at it, we need a tariff on imported goods produced in countries that are polluting the planet.

And if China tries to justify polluting the planet by saying we did when we industrialized, well then: we’re allowed and they’re not, because we thought of the industrial revolution first.

That picture should have barred Kerry from ever running for office, down to Dog Catcher.

That he was able to actually run for the POTUS is a shame that we will never live down.

Damn the Democrat Party and their loser candidates that win.

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.

Whatever the temperature is now, it is wrong.

It's Bush's fault. Bush and those damned SUVs.

Womyn and minorities will be hardest hit.
