At first, I thought this had to be a joke in the style of “The Onion”. Sadly, no. I have video of this dolt saying this on C-Span. I don’t know who’s more dangerous to humanity, Kerry or ISIS.
The video:
Here is some history leading up to this epic inanity. In February, Kerry said climate change is as ‘big a threat to the world as terrorism, poverty, and weapons of mass destruction’. Last month Kerry said climate change is the “biggest challenge of all we face right now.” And on Tuesday September 3rd, at a ceremony to appoint Texas lawyer Shaarik Zafar as special representative to Muslim communities, Kerry told the crowd that it is America’s Biblical “responsibility” to “confront climate change.”
“Our faiths are inextricably linked on any number of things that we must confront and deal with in policy concepts today. Our faiths are inextricably linked on the environment. For many of us, respect for God’s creation also translates into a duty to protect and sustain his first creation, Earth, the planet,”
“Confronting climate change is, in the long run, one of the greatest challenges that we face, and you can see this duty or responsibility laid out in Scriptures clearly, beginning in Genesis. And Muslim-majority countries are among the most vulnerable. Our response to this challenge ought to be rooted in a sense of stewardship of Earth, and for me and for many of us here today, that responsibility comes from God.”
I do hope Mr. Kerry travels to the heart of an ISIS stronghold to deliver this message personally. Maybe then he’ll gain a sense of priority and perhaps, some sanity when he realizes his epic mistake.
And Nero fiddled…
What a thing to say. It could inspire the fanatical cultists of AGW and ISIS. After all they admire
blowing people up, wrecking the economies of the west, enslaving people…etc.etc.
God and (politics/science) do not mix.
John Kerry’s purpose is to make Barak Obama look good and desperate times call desperate measures.
There’s a piece of arrogance. How does Kerry know that the Earth was (his) God’s ‘first creation’? Or maybe he believes the universe is only 6,000 years old.
Well Kerry is wrong about the earth being God’s first creation. I think it was “Let there be light.” So light was first.
Lucky guess, back in old Mesopotamia, that the Big Bang preceded the Sun, Moon and Stars…
Perhaps Kerry meant “that was first His Creation” instead of “his (sic) first creation”?
“Is John Kerry mentally ill?”
That is a rhetorical question, isn’t it?
“And Muslim-majority countries are among the most vulnerable.”
And they are also among the prime members of OPEC. You know John, that nasty petroleum stuff that supposedly contributes to gorebull warming.
Reagan’s former SOS George Shultz still pulls the strings of the puppet Secretary of State officially. That’s what’s going on there.
Ah, it’s Reagan’s fault. A welcome change from the usual It’s Booshs fault.
This is just funnier than ‘ell… and eventually, if the Republicans ever regain power, Ant-nee will be wondering what’s wrong with the Republican Party when they take the lead on glow bull warming.

Didn’t you Yanks fire a Secretary of the Interior for quoting Scripture concerning taking care of the environment?
Oh, yeah, he was a Republican…
Never mind.
Reagan’s first Secretary of the Interior 1981-1983, James Watt, was quite hostile to the environmental left. They lut a bullseye on him for his opening up large areas of Federal lands to timber and coal industries. He is a huge believer in personal property rights, and stopped many species listings as “endangered”, which is an abused tool today by enviros running Obama’s agencies.
He had to resign after he made an insensitive “diversity” remark about an advisory panel makeup.
After he left as SecInt, he worked as a lobbyist in DC until clinton came to office. The enviros in the Clinton Administration had the DoJ settle their vendetta against Mr Watt with indictments for improper influence peddling activites. 25 felony indictments but all they got was 1 misdeanor conviction on document withholding from the GrandJury that indicted him. It was pure political payback from a corrupt democrat DoJ prosecutor to a political foe. Sound familiar???
James Watt resigned, not because he quoted scripture, but because he cited a fact about his team in a politically incorrect manner. He joked about it:
“We have every mixture you can have. I have a black. I have a woman, two Jews and a cripple.”
Predictably, the left went ballistic — disregarding as usual comments made by their own, which were much worse. Watt also made the huge mistake of believing that humor was not a bad thing. He ended up resigning.
The anti-Watt attacks were pure Alinsky:
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it… Go after people… people hurt faster than institutions.
So Watt resigned. But as we see, it doesn’t cut both ways. Now we have a Secretary of State who campaigns on the climate scare, instead of taking care of business. That is already causing a negative reaction. Also according to Alinsky:
RULE #7: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Don’t become old news.
Twenty years without the predicted runaway global warming — or any global warming at all, for that matter — is a scare that has dragged on too long. People are bored. It is old news. Worse, it is old news that is wrong.
Napoleon advised: Never interrupt an enemy when he is making a mistake. The global warming scare has morphed into a growing mistake. All they have to do is admit that they got it wrong. But human nature being what it is, they can never admit that they were wrong.
Go, John Kerry.
No surprise, no, none at all. Who is the best quoter of Scripture around?
====================
Fack is, Ol’ Beelzebub would be a lot more clever than this one. Who, really, is gonna appreciate this statement? John ‘Ricebutt’ Kerry ought to have been more concerned about the blowback.
===================
There is no Warming but Anthropogenic, and Al-Gore is it’s messenger.
Oh, crap. Wrong religion.
On the other hand….
CAGW is a fatal disease. The vectors of this disease are: the imminence of funding, comical levels of public sympathy, powerful billionaire friends, the slough of “green” goodness, club membership replete with Twitterbook and Faceplant accounts, funded research projects, mass media fawning over a lost way of life… Allah the above… These symptoms all lead in one direction: Mellowing, Softness of the backbone, Brain-rot and eventual moral self-destruction. Carey is sharing the world’s most pervasively over-manufactured and over-sold poison pill. With their professed love of martyrdom, ISIL-ites will swallow a handful each, God willing! Complacent, gooey, mellow self-righteousness and the ultimate internal moral rot of the over-fed will follow. Let the drones leaflet their most isolated training camps. Send them some green scarves out of good material.
Besides, he fits the part. He looks kind of like an Old Testicle preacher.

Bill Parsons,
Old ones are arguably less powerful or impotent as opposed to new ones, according to my doctor.

While the force is not strong in Kerry the bull sheet is worse than we thought and clearly at unprecedented levels 😉
“John Kerry,” as for Stephan Lewandowski,” makes an interesting anagram…
None of the quotes in this story support the headline. Please stick to the science and let others practice the hyperbole.
“Confronting climate change is, in the long run, one of the greatest challenges that we face, and you can see this duty or responsibility laid out in Scriptures clearly, beginning in Genesis. And Muslim-majority countries are among the most vulnerable.
you are right, nothing about protecting muslim countries in any of the quotes.
The headline promises words of this sort were uttered: ‘Scriptures Commands America To Protect Muslims From Global Warming. ‘ So tell me, where do you find those words in the item you quoted? Answer: They aren’t there. Not even implied. There’s no singling out of Muslims for special protection, There’s no implication that America should be their protector for climate or anything else. The headline is pure political spin. I’m no fan of Kerry. But people ought to have the decency to attack him for what he says, not for things we wish he had said.
What’s next? Replacing “Our Father” with “Lord Obama”?

That did get some folks in Venezuela in trouble with the church.
No matter whether a Democrat or Republican wins the presidency in two years, the new administration will almost certainly be an improvement.
don’t bet on that.
The two parties are one. It is just a delusion to believe there are are two separate parties.
Alas not. They all degenerate into something disgusting.
Don’t bet on it is right. Hillary is just as bad as Obama and not near as lazy. She would carry through on many of the far left radical agendas
“Confronting climate change is, in the long run, one of the greatest challenges that we face”.
I don’t get it with Kerry. He has been on the climate change band wagon since day one as Sec. of State.
We have idiots in the Middle East who are still in the year 400. War after war. Conflict after conflict, due to religion, not climate change. As Secretary of State, should he not be trying to stop the conflicts wth more ferver than his stupid remarks about climate change? And it really pi$$e$ me off that Kerry assumes everone believes in the Bible, especially Genesis. Yeah, it took seven days right? How dare those million year-old fossels conflict with Genesis?
Kerry needs to stick with what he is supposed to do: his job, not climate change religion.
With all bombs going off in the mid east think of all the smoke and co2 being put in the atmosphere
“And Muslim-majority countries are among the most vulnerable. ”
Wait, I though the Arctic was the most vulnerable…
Sometimes I deeply regret reading here at WUWT. This piece is one example why. Regardless, where else does one find the truth … even if we do not want to hear it?
It has begun.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is just one of the environmental lunatics running Our Dear Leaders’ Gaian asylum.
Is John Kerry mentally ill?
Not because he invoke a deity or religion. Nor does he appear to be mentally ill, when compared to the rest of the current US administration and the acolytes of the First Temple of Anthropogenic Global Warming.
However, compared to those imbued with knowledge of the sciences, common sense, reasoning minds, and wisdom, he is clinically bat shit crazy!
The answer is “Yes,” to the extent that anyone who seeks to control others is a megalomaniac and a compulsive liar who will say whatever he feels is necessary to garner the support of those who are willing to be ruled, John Kerry is also mentally ill.
He feels no greater commitment or obligation to keep his words than an actor feels obliged to live a script. It is all in the interest of becoming a tyrant.
The Boomers have long dreamed of nationalizing churches.
If history is any example, perhaps next will come the checks to the pastors to help them with the building repairs.
