From The Daily Caller:
Speaking to a group of Jakarta students and government officials, Secretary of State John Kerry warned, “Climate change can now be considered the world’s largest weapon of mass destruction, perhaps even, the world’s most fearsome weapon of mass destruction.” He further declared that the science is settled, equating skeptics to Flat Earth Society Luddites. The idea of a flat earth was “settled science” once upon a time, or at least until Aristotle unsettled this scientific belief. Much as bloodletting was once standard medical treatment in medieval Europe, until it too became an unsettled science. Yet Professor Kerry, political science major from Yale, with lower grades than the “Village Idiot from Texas,” presumes to know which bits of science are settled.
The mission of Mr. Kerry’s State Department is to, “Create a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community.” How does Mr. Kerry’s scaremongering about phantom WMDs translate into security, democracy, or prosperity? Perhaps he could devote more of his time toward its real mission: Our security is threatened by Iranian warships off our Atlantic coast. Democracy is threatened in Venezuela through election fraud and diplomat expulsion. And prosperity is threatened by our national debt, $17 trillion and counting. So while the world is burning, Secretary of State Kerry is fiddling away over “fearsome” climate change and dismissing skeptics as rubes.
