The Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, John Kerry, compares climate change to 9/11 or a nuclear strike.
It’s amazing stuff, for the wrong reasons. The powerful Massachusetts Democrat and decision maker says global warming is a grave national security threat that we ignore at our peril. Does this mean our military could someday be out in the fields fighting bovine flatulence? What about about containing volcanic eruptions? The entire Industrial Revolution can't hold a candle to a single major volcanic eruption when it comes to dumping so-called greenhouse gases, also known as carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere.
Kerry also fears climate change will make Al Qaeda even more dangerous when all the ice melts in the Himalayas. Sounds like a really bad movie script.
Mr. Kerry says to consider his words our "warning memo." The good news is we only have to listen to this for 10 more years, which is when the Earth won’t end as Kerry fears.
Hmmm...why do I suspect this silly rhetoric won't end in 10 years?
