Kerry: Air Conditioners as Big a Threat as ISIS

BY: Alyssa Canobbio July 22, 2016 4:10 pm

Secretary of State John Kerry said in Vienna on Friday that air conditioners and refrigerators are as big of a threat to life as the threat of terrorism posed by groups like the Islamic State.

The Washington Examiner reported that Kerry was in Vienna to amend the 1987 Montreal Protocol that would phase out hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, from basic household and commercial appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, and inhalers.

“As we were working together on the challenge of [ISIS] and terrorism,” Kerry said. “It’s hard for some people to grasp it, but what we–you–are doing here right now is of equal importance because it has the ability to literally save life on the planet itself.”

Kerry said that most of the substances banned in the Montreal Protocol have increased the use of HFCs and claimed that the coolant was thousands of times more potent than CO2. He added that the increase of HFCs has lead to the trend of global climate change.

“The use of hydrofluorocarbons is unfortunately growing,” Kerry said. “Already, the HFCs use in refrigerators, air conditioners, and other items are emitting an entire gigaton of carbon dioxide-equivalent pollution into the atmosphere annually. Now, if that sounds like a lot, my friends, it’s because it is. It’s the equivalent to emissions from nearly 300 coal-fired power plants every single year.”

In Europe, in the Middle Ages, due to inbreeding, there were rulers who were absolute insane imbeciles.

This is just more proof that if you live long enough, you will see history repeat it’s self.

Back in the late 80’s, Senator Al Gore convinced the American people that Freon (CFC) was causing a mysterious hole in the ozone layer over the South Pole and we were all going to die if we didn’t stop using Freon in our air conditioners. The American people went along with it and replaced every air conditioner in the U.S. with air conditioners that used HFC.

Air conditioner manufacturers made fortunes replacing perfectly good air conditioners throughout the U.S. and then throughout most of the world. And, of course, Al Gore’s immense fortune couldn’t possibly have anything to do with this scam.

Now, John Kerry is trying to recreate this scam by telling us the HFCs that replaced the CFCs in air conditioners to prevent the mythical hole in the Ozone Layer is now causing Global Warming and will kill us all if we don’t replace all of our HFC using air conditioners.

Of course, air conditioner manufacturers are eager to once again replace every air conditioner in this country, and then Kerry won’t have to live of his wife’s fortune any longer.

“This man is a government official, right? What are we to do or think when it becomes obvious that someone who has major authority in the Federal Government... is an idiot? Should I be in disbelief, or just cynical and pessimistic? This man ran for president, right? What an idiot.(shake head, face palm).”


All true.
But an improvement from his predecessor.

I took a quick survey and over 100,000 people said that John Kerry should get rid of all his air-conditioning in all his (and her) houses. Then, they should have only ONE house, the smallest ones.

Take the lead! Save the planet, Jon Cary, you wonderful, marvelous SOB hypocrite!

BTW, weren’t you in Vietnam for a while? And weren’t you the guy that got hit in the butt with a paperclip or was that someone else?

They would send the childen to another country before they would give up their own luxurie.

When I was in charge of 70 people in an invetment bank graphics dept, I never had any worker do something I wouldn’t be willing to do. In most cases, I had done them already before i became manager.

I can see Trump being like that. Of course he lives better than us. He earned it. But he doesn’t want us living crappy.

That’s the differnece.

I am searching diligently in my heart to find the floor of my disgust, disdain and yes hatred for these leftist dipspits. But I haven't found the bottom yet. I keep finding new levels of revulsion. I need an intervention.

So, first of all, let’s turn off the airconditioning and disconnect all the refrigerators at the state department.
