Kerry bonds with Asia over global warming
2013-04-17
Tensions have been mounting for weeks in the Korean peninsula, all due to the saber rattling of a young, inexperienced and untested North Korean dictator. Secretary of State John Kerry flew to China, North Korea's only ally of note, ostensibly to ward off a possible nuclear war, and talked about -- global warming?
All love The Second Smartest Man In The Room. Only sorcery could have altered the vote count in Florida that time.
Meeting with Chinese officials in Beijing, thoughts of North Korean troops invading its neighbor to the south took second fiddle to a threat Kerry deemed more immediate -- "anthropogenic" global warming. And he and his hosts agreed that discussion of the issue would send a "significant message" globally, according to CNSNews.com.

"We are seeing the science of climate change come back to us now at a rate that is far faster and with far greater levels of damage than anything that scientists predicted 10, 15, 20 years ago," Kerry said. "Every prediction that has been made is coming true, but coming true bigger and more dangerously."

Sounding like a true Al Gore acolyte, Kerry claimed the science on global warming is settled and the time for debate is over.

"The two countries took special note of the overwhelming scientific consensus about anthropogenic climate change and its worsening impacts, including the sharp rise in global average temperatures over the past century, the alarming acidification of our oceans, the rapid loss of Arctic sea ice, and the striking incidence of extreme weather events occurring all over the world," according to the joint US-China Statement on Climate Change.

#3  We've seen a 16 year stop in warming (that proves the CO2=Temp models wrong).

Is he lying or ignorant?

#2  "We are seeing the science of climate change come back to us now at a rate that is far faster and with far greater levels of damage than anything that scientists predicted 10, 15, 20 years ago," Kerry said.

And I immediately thought of this map. So where are all the refugees?

Not to mention anyone who says, "the science is settled" either doesn't know the first thing about science, or is playing his audience for ignoramuses.
