John Kerry: Climate Change as Dangerous as a Nuclear Armed Iran
8/2/12
John Kerry stepped up his rhetoric in support of climate change. He said that it was just as dangerous as any of the issues discussed in the Foreign Relations Committee, such as Iran getting nuclear weapons and Syria.
“I believe that the situation we face, Mr. President, is as dangerous as any of the sort of real crises that we talk about – today we had a hearing in the Foreign Relations Committee on the subject of Syria, and we all know what’s happening with respect to Iran, and nuclear weapons and the possibility even of a war,” Kerry said.
“Well, this issue [climate change] actually is of as significant a level of importance, because it affects life itself on the planet,”
“Climate change, over the last few years, has regrettably lost credibility in the eyes and ears of the American people, because of a concerted campaign of disinformation – a concerted campaign to brand the concept as somehow slightly out of the mainstream of American political thinking.”
“I have to say it’s been a remarkably effective campaign, you can’t sit here and say it hasn’t worked,”
“Every opportunity to cast a pall on facts with some kind of cockamamie theory has been taken advantage of, and a lot of money has been spent, Mr. President, a lot of money has been spent in this process of disinformation and of discrediting.”
“We have in effect, with respect to climate change in America today, what is fundamentally a flat-earth caucus, a bunch of people – some of them within the United States Congress itself – who still argue, against all the science, all the evidence, they argue that somehow we don’t know enough about climate change, or they argue that the evidence isn’t sufficient, or they argue that it just is a hoax.”
