Kerry: Air Conditioners As Big a Threat as ISIS

[Spare_change]

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 led 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.”

Kerry is a globalist and he is on board with Agenda 21 or the latest, greatest version of this globalist plan called Agenda 2030 and their plan to bring every nation into a system that is regulated by the U.N....it means the end of all sovereignty for every nation...it's their "One world government" plan. They are already taking control of the food supply and they are in the process of controlling all the aquifers. They are using an aerosol injection program that is corrupting the soil with aluminium, barium and strontium nano-particulates which is causing the yields of what remains of the private family farms to lower with every year and Monsanto is just waiting in the wings like a viper waiting to buy it up since they have seeds that will grow in aluminum corrupted soil. They are also using this aerosol injection program to manipulate the jet stream and destroy low pressure zones that bring rain. They can create high pressure zones using the aerosol spraying in conjunction with ionospheric heaters but they lack the ability to create low pressure zones....so they use their technology to weaken or strengthen storms and move them. This is real, folks...it's actually Tesla technology and it's in the hands of some very bad people. Control the food and water, you can control the people. Look at how they are using zoning codes to restrict people from growing their own food on their own fucking property. They are restricting people from collecting rain water. Do your own due diligence if you doubt me....but allow me to put you on a path that will make it easy to verify what I say is true. Go to Google and put in "Agenda 21 Map USA" and then Google the amount of land that the federal "gubermint" claims that it owns and you will make the connection. Many thanks to the OP for bringing this up.....

Where Progressives find these people is astonishing to me?

Imagine, the Secretary of State, of the United States, trying desperately to ignore all the fatalities caused by ISIS since they took over much of the Middle East telling us that an AC unit is more dangerous to the world. I wonder if that includes the hundreds of millions or billions who are still cooking and heating with wood and dried dung?

You people have the reading skills of a third grader. Kerry is not ignoring the casualties of Isis. In March, he accused them of committing genocide. He is attempting to convince his audience of the importance of combatting AGW.

According to several monitoring organizaations, Isis in Syria kills roughly 5% as many people as do the forces of Assad. A liberal estimate would be that Isis has killed 30,000 people How many people have been killed by ISIS? - Quora. One does not have to go far to find other causes for greater death tolls. We kill more than that each year with our cars. We exceed that slightly with our annual gun deaths. If you think we should exterminate Isis to save the lives of the people they kill, perhaps you should also approve of banning the private ownership of guns in this country - particularly when I'm only talking about American gun deaths but the vast, vast majority of Isis's victims are middle are Syrians, Iraquis and Kurds.

Kerry is a Freaking Moron..

CFC's have been proven to be a minor player in the O-Zone cycle.. More left wing fear mongering. More Globalist bull shit from the wacko fringe left..

Kerry prosecuting the war on coal by using another Rinse-Lather-Rinse- repeate.. bull shit claim...

What does this have to do with coal Billy Boy?

What does this have to do with coal Billy Boy?

Color me NOT surprised that you failed to read the article again..

Kerry was railing against the power usage and coal consumption of power plants to operate them... He simply used the O-Zone lie in conjunction with there power consumption to attack that evil, reliable, and cheap Coal generated electricity... that creates CO2..

One lie on top of another.. Stacking the shit deep..

The thread subject is the conservative claim that Kerry claimed hydrofluorocarbons to be more dangerous than ISIS.

Imagine that. Who would have thought that the Greenies designing our lives would have missed an OBVIOUS consequence of their CFC ban? That never happens right?

These guys have no clue about how stuff works and can't even FORESEE the consequences of their actions.

Anyone remember MTBE in gasoline?

You, of course, had a better solution at the time, right? You know what those HFCs were going to do, right? You weren't worried about the loss of the ozone layer, right?

Before you call anyone stupid, you better be able to demonstrate that you're not.

How about building HVAC systems that DON'T LEAK?
How about FINDING a safe alternative before you go attacking and banning something?

They MIGHT have fixed the Ozone -- or it might have fixed itself.. But in EITHER CASE -- they fucked up Global Warming in the process and they want a "do-over" ??

How much churn and inefficiency can we tolerate with the Govt jerking entire markets back and forth like that?

meh......this Kerry stuff is just something to throw a bone to the nutty-ass left.

C'mon..........this is the typical intellectual nutter stuff we see from people on the left........they say this shit thinking they are smarter than everybody else with this nutter moral equivalence bullshit that if you haven't noticed is ruining our country.

Same shit as the gun grabber crap............which research has proven that more guns = less crimes.( see Harvard 4/13 - Journal of Law and Public Policy ).......countries with gun bans have murder rates 9X higher than countries without bans. duh.

HOLY FUCK..........that we have to share this planet with these crazies is beyond laughable.

And btw..........I hope they do go for a gun ban.......would be sweet. Finally, we'd get some real change in this country...........as in like shit that will not be believed!!

When will Obama send air strikes against the fridge and air conditioner manufacturers?

Hey dummy.............for a smart guy, you have zero abilities to connect dots. None........like most progressives. HFC's?? Nobody cares you fucking dummy..........its insane to even discuss. Nobody is going to allow a government to stand that wants to go back to energy circa 1830!!! China is upping their coal production by 50%........ready for this.........30 years from now!!!. But this dummy would have us ban refrigerators and air conditioning.

You know what these people are folks? They are human racists............they are miserable, miserable assholes who's main goal in life is to make everybody else miserable like them. It is the life mission of every progressive. These people are mental cases who invariably think theya re the most exceptional people walking the planet.

Its a real problem...................

 

[skookerasbil]

God....its threads like this that make it apparent how far disconnected progressives are from Realville. There is this utopian fiber in ALL of their thinking, as if we tried hard enough we could solve all the worlds problems. Ummm..............no we cant asshats. Life is about acceptable tradeoffs. Has been for millions of years on this planet and will be the same way for a million more. You got suck and suckier............make up a decision? Hate to break it to you but ya cant have it both ways..........

Show me some pics of you riding a jackass to work and no cell phone and maybe I'll take you seriously.............otherwise, you're a fucking k00k.

 

[Ridgerunner]

I wonder what this man's family thinks about the use of air conditioning?

French church terrorists forced priest to KNEEL and filmed horror attack

Where are the money grubbing, tree hugging, stupid ass algore lurch wannabees. Hiding I suppose...

 

[mamooth]

We're off laughing at you, for how badly your science and logic sucks, and for how desperate and dishonest your conspiracy theories are.

Thanks for the thread reminding everyone how successful the environmentalists were, and how stupid you deniers look for having tried your best to destroy the ozone layer. Through a combination of malevolence and incompetence, you worked your hardest to screw over the world. Thanks to us, you failed. The world gives us credit, and condemns you.

Oh, Gore Rule invoked. Whoever whines about Gore first forfeits the discussion for their side. That's always the deneir cultists. Rational people can talk about the science. We don't care about gore, because he's not a scientist. Deniers can't, so they do what their cult tells them, which is demonize a politician.
