Kerry Gives First Foreign Policy Speech … ON CLIMATE CHANGE :shock:

Secretary of State John Kerry gave his first major foreign policy speech today. In his speech he said the most dangerous think happening in the world is climate change.

"We as a nation must have the foresight and courage to make the investments necessary to safeguard the most sacred trust we keep for our children and grandchildren: an environment not ravaged by rising seas, deadly superstorms, devastating droughts, and the other hallmarks of a dramatically changing climate," said Kerry

Kerry called for collective action to deal with this problem. "So let’s commit ourselves to doing the smart thing and the right thing and truly commit to tackling this challenge," he said. "Because if we don’t rise to meet it, rising temperatures and rising sea levels will surely lead to rising costs down the road. If we waste this opportunity, it may be the only thing our generations are remembered for. We need to find the courage to leave a far different legacy."

Kerry has a financial interest in the entire Man Caused Global Warming crap - take a gander at this:

Concerning Kerry supporting Carbon Credits:

"
Kerry has lined up several industrial strength energy suppliers and users. Their support forms the basis of Kerry’s claim that the American Power Act is good for the economy. But why do big businesses support a bill that will increase the costs of doing business in this country? Kerry and his new Barbara Boxer, Senator Joseph Lieberman, would have you believe that these companies are motivated by the need for “regulatory certainty.” The truth is simpler and cruder than that. These businesses stand to make a killing if the bill passes. Consider:

* General Electric helped write portions of the bill to tilt the market in its favor. If Congress puts a price on carbon, coal will lose market share to nuclear power and natural gas. GE is a global leader in these two industries. This is par for the course for GE. In 2007, it spent millions lobbying for an energy bill that bans incandescent light bulbs. The company just happens to be a world leader in the production of compact fluorescent bulbs.

* Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and other Wall Street firms long have lobbied for climate legislation because they would reap huge fees in brokering the trade of energy-rationing coupons (a.k.a. carbon credits) under a cap-and-trade scheme. By 2020, the global carbon market could be worth $3 trillion, according to London-based New Energy Finance.

* Exelon, America’s most valuable utility, is such a staunch supporter of climate legislation that it split from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over the Chamber’s opposition to cap-and-trade. Exelon relies on nuclear power, and the American Power Act fulfills every aspect of the nuclear industry’s wish-list. The Huffington Post unearthed an internal Exelon memo estimating that climate legislation would add $700 to $750 million to the company’s annual revenues for every $10 per metric ton increase in the price of CO2 allowances.

* British Petroleum and Conoco Phillips opposed cap-and-trade legislation enacted by the House of Representatives because they thought it was insufficiently generous. In the Senate, they got a better deal. Senator Kerry said that he’s “been working very closely” with BP and C-P, and the lobbying has paid dividends. The refining industry receives twice as many free carbon credits under Kerry’s cap-and-trade scheme as the one established by the House. C-P CEO Jim Mulva even bragged in a statement that his company “is pleased with the attention that has been given our key issues.”

* Chemical manufacturer Dupont, for business reasons, phased out the use of HFC-23, a chemical gas that happens to be thousands of times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. The American Power Act allocates 1 percent of the carbon credits from 2013-2015 to companies that performed “early action” policies to mitigate climate change. The company could reap hundreds of millions of dollars, just for doing business as usual.

This is just a sampling of a larger group of businesses whose woolly rhetoric is designed to mask their own-self interest — at the expense of the American economy as a whole. Big business spokesmen for cap-and-trade claim they are trying to save the planet and achieve regulatory certainty. But the only certainty they’re after is guaranteed profits. It’s comforting, in a way, to know that their eyes are always firmly fixed on the bottom line.

Does the corruption never end?

Billionaire Warren Buffett announced today a $23 billion megadeal buy out ketchup and food producer H.J. Heinz Co owned by John Kerry and his wife.

"I will need to recuse from certain matters involving H.J. Heinz Company because the investment of the trusts in H.J. Heinz Company stock is greater than their investment in other publicly traded stocks," Kerry told the State Department's Deputy Legal Adviser Richard C. Visek on Jan. 8.

Kerry also agreed to bow out when necessary from State decisions that could affect 16 of Heinz' foreign subsidiaries and partners.

Warren Buffett is the largest investor in green energy and carbon tax credit operations and stands to make 25-50 billion over the next 3 years if the government continues it's investments in green energy operations.

Before his Warren Buffett check even clears the bank what is the first thing Kerry does? His first speech as State Department head is to call for more investments in green energy.
