John Kerry Says We All Must Act On Climate Change To Avoid The Ravages Or Something

He never really does get into what we all must do, but, I’m sure it has something to do with more taxes, fees, and giving up our liberty while the elites like John refuse to do anything in their own lives. Oh, and this has plenty of Trump Derangement Syndrome to go with the obligatory doom

John Kerry: Forget Trump. We All Must Act on Climate Change.

This week is the third anniversary of the Paris climate agreement. The Trump administration marked it by working with Russia and Gulf oil nations to sideline science and undermine the accord at climate talks underway in Katowice, Poland.

While I was in New Delhi this week, where I met with solar energy advocates, a comment made thousands of miles away by the journalist Bob Woodward almost jumped off my iPad: The president, he said, “makes decisions often without a factual basis.” This isn’t a mere personality quirk of the leader of the free world. It is profoundly dangerous for the entire planet.

So, wait, he took a long fossil fueled flight, which puts out almost as much “carbon pollution” as a normal American does in a year? Huh.

Scientists tell us we must act now to avoid the ravages of climate change. The collision of facts and alternative facts has hurt America’s efforts to confront this existential crisis. Ever since Mr. Trump announced that he would pull America out of the Paris accord, those of us in the fight have worked to demonstrate that the American people are still in.

But the test is not whether the nation’s cities and states can make up for Mr. Trump’s rejection of reality. They can. The test is whether the nations of the world will pull out of the mutual suicide pact that we’ve all passively joined through an inadequate response to this crisis.

Ravages! Suicide!

Talk to leaders who are gathered in Poland. They acknowledge that we aren’t close to getting the job done in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that warm the planet. People are dying today because of climate change, and many more will die and trillions of dollars of damage to property will occur unless America gets back in the fight.

Interesting. You have all these “leaders” who signed on to the Paris Climate Agreement, and most of their nations aren’t even close to upholding their commitments. Yet they are super enthusiastic about it. So much so that they take lots of fossil fueled trips, like to the Katowice, Poland UN IPCC meeting.

The latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that the changes required to hold global warming to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius), as called for in the Paris agreement, would require changes on a scale with “no documented historic precedent.”

Interestingly, he never gets into what those changes would be. Because putting economies and people’s lives fully under the control of elites wouldn’t be particularly palatable, and there is that line where even Warmists will not cross, as we just saw in France.
