Why Bother? John Kerry Admits American CO2 Cuts Would Be Pointless

It’s 40 seconds that should turn the global warming world upside down.
Secretary of State John Kerry made an astounding confession today at the COP-21 climate conference in Paris: Emissions cuts by the U.S. and other industrialized nations will make no difference to global climate, he said.
Here are Kerry’s exact words:
… The fact is that even if every American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels to power their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions, guess what – that still wouldn’t be enough to offset the carbon pollution coming from the rest of the world. 
If all the industrial nations went down to zero emissions –- remember what I just said, all the industrial emissions went down to zero emissions -– it wouldn’t be enough, not when more than 65% of the world’s carbon pollution comes from the developing world.

This is the first time such a senior government official has admitted the utter futility of American carbon dioxide emissions cuts. That’s a consequential admission even if you believe the claims of climate alarmists about the danger of emissions.
Several years ago, Sen. James Inhofe had coaxed former EPA administrator Lisa Jackson into admitting that U.S. emissions cuts would make little difference to global climate. Current EPA administrator Gina McCarthy has admitted that the point of EPA’s new carbon dioxide rules aimed at power plants is really to show global leadership on the issue. But Kerry’s clear, frank and even emphasized admission is simply astounding.
The admission should have legal as well as political consequences. In the 2007 Supreme Court decision giving EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gases, the Supreme Court was careful to note that, although EPA couldn’t solve the global warming problem all at once or by itself, it was allowed to make incremental progress on the problem. Kerry’s admission shows that the U.S. government knows that such progress is simply not possible.
This admission should find its way into the ongoing litigation of EPA power plant rules and it should blow them up.

Funny, that's not what I take away from it at all. I think TV is right here.

And all you have to do to see where this guy is coming from is go to junkScience.com: ALL his posts are negative rants about efforts to clean up our air quality. This guy would find something negative to say about pure water. Makes one wonder if EXXON gives him an unlimited card to buy gas. 

It IS too late. Whatever "we" do, we will suffer the effects of what changes the Industrial Revolution brought upon us. 
But "we" can make changes that will help in the damage of what we have done. It will take years and in the meantime we have little options other than burning the less polluting carbon fuels. We MUST get away from coal for instance. We can trust that good science will (in time) provide options that will solve most of the problem. 

So, "we" should prepare for the worst and hope for the best. By all the best measures changes are coming, and it seems, sooner than later. 

Kerry is right. "we" need to understand the realities of the problem and deal with the realities of what is to come. In the meantime, it's good and appropriate that nations around the globe turn their attention to this and do all that is possible to prepare and make necessary changes. 

Let's not let "Big Oil" dictate the conversation.

So, in other words, let the hypocrisy and idiocy stand because without the billionaires getting more of our tax dollars to "invest" in "alternative energy", we are all doomed. Of course those billionaires couldn't fly around the earth, eat veal, buy diamonds, etc without that EVIL oil. AND, instead of you admitting the obvious you insert you head back in the dark area under your spine, behind where you urinate from. Sad, without oil this planet ceases to exist,'and you can't even admit it for fear of having a thought of your own.

I love how OL and his hate talk radio educated pals love to talk about how electrical wind turbines kill birds.

That means SO much Laughing Laughing

It's right up there with mentioning how people who don't want our last remaining old growth cut live in houses made of trees.

Or how they use toilet paper made of trees. Never mind the fact that timber is not used for TP.

OL...So, in other words, let the hypocrisy and idiocy stand because without the billionaires getting more of our tax dollars to "invest" in "alternative energy", we are all doomed

More brilliance... Yes, there is nothing whatsoever wrong with burning fossil fuels and the entire climate change hoax was invented by billionaires to get even richer.

You have to be special to believe that. Big Grin

As of 5 p.m. the official measurement since midnight at Denver International Airport was 7.7″.
That is both the biggest one day snowfall so far this season and a new record for December 15.
