Kerry: Air Conditioners as Big a Threat as ISIS

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 lead 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.”

Members of the Montreal Protocol have met their obligations and have aided in the shrinking of the hole in the ozone, as well as created jobs and improved the quality of life, Kerry said.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy was also present at the negotiations and is serving as the lead negotiator for the United States. McCarthy has said that her goal is to enact the HFC agreement by the end of the year.

New EPA rules along with the global deal would band HFCs in the United States and push for alternative chemicals for use in appliances. The negotiations are part of President Obama’s climate agenda to combat global climate change.

Is there anyone on Planet Obama that has an ounce of grey matter? Just wondering.

Maybe he should start with removing high fructose corn syrup from his wife's ketchup.

Seriously, this guy is a loon.

I don't worry about my air conditioner or refrigerator beheading me or shooting up a nightclub. To even compare the two is asinine.

AAsphalt for roads should be white, not black.

Every roof should be white, with solar panels.

And another foolish Democrat pushed through the original funding

for the AARPA Net, which later became the Internet.

He said (correctly ) that he "facilitated" the creation of the Net. (He did).

Then he was criticized and misquoted as saying he "invented" the Internet,

which he never said.

 

Probably people should find ways to use less destructive gasses for cooling units.

When Freon was outlawed in the U.S.,  there was too little time and too little research into choosing

its replacement.

The stupid arse govt banned asbestos. Now, the stopping distance when cars brake is much longer, resulting in more deaths. Liberals don't seem to care about that do they?

Well, you could make a case for black roofs and pavement in the winter to absorb heat as well. Soooo, seems like the same thing either way.

 We looked into putting solar panels on our roof.

We live in "Hail Storm City".

Nope. Not going to happen.cry

I'd rather have wind power. We always seem to have a breeze going.wink

 Two little problems ...

First, repaving and re-roofing are expensive, and no one's going to pay for that twice a year.

Second, the goal is to reflect heat, because of the clear danger of global warming,

not to absorb more.

Kerry is a moron, a gigolo. He had the fire hydrant removed from in front of his Boston Beacon Hill brown stone so he could part his big azz suburban there, yes he even has a "personal parking spot" on a public roadway.

DH and I saw an interesting story on the national news last week. It was about Isle Royal National Park in Michigan.

This is a fantastic gem, accessible only by seaplane. The park ranger and scientist they interviewed mentioned the fact that the wolf population was decreasing because...wait for it... they used to be able to cross over from the mainland on an ice bridge, but it's now too warm for the water to freeze.

This means that the moose population is no longer under control, which means the island's forests are in danger.

 Hours upon hours.  Was his deputy campaign manager for Tennessee. Ive been to his houses. The one in Belle Meade and the one in Carthage. 

He is a liar and a thief. He turned a lot of his volunteers Conservative. All by himself...

2. He is "evil" because he has more than one house? How many houses do YOU have?

3. What did he steal? You claim he's a thief.

4. "A lot of his volunteers?" You + who else?

Lord, such STUPID questions...no

I didn't clock my hours (I was a volunteer, duh) and not all hours were spent with Satan incarnate.   

He is not evil because he has 2 houses (he actually has 4), but they were in NO WAY "Earth friendly".  Heated pools in the wintertime...at that time it was just he and Tipper at home.  He didn't need 8 bedrooms, much less needed to climate control them all year.  He also would let his cars run while he was inside campaign stops.  He didn't want them to get too hot.

Thief?  Ever heard of anti-carbon investments?  Every bit of that money went to a company that Al owns. Forbes even called him out on it (they are non-partisan in case you've never heard of them).  He and his partner pocketed the money.  But seeing that only libs were stupid enough to believe his BS, I guess it's not all bad.  What's that saying about a fool and his money? http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybell/2013/11/03/blood-and-gore-making-a-killing-on-anti-carbon-investment-hype/#49b38e5e3750

You actually want me to LIST the names of the volunteers that I still work with (except now we have grownup and do not support the infant mentality of the left)?  No way.  That you would even ask that shows how desperate you have become to stay relevant...

Anymore questions?
