John Kerry Admits They're Killing Jobs and It Won't Matter

Climate Czar Kerry is killing jobs even though it won't matter.

He [Biden] knows [the] Paris [Accord target] alone is not enough. Not when almost 90 percent of all of the planet’s emissions, global emissions come from outside of U.S. borders. We could go to zero tomorrow and the problem isn’t solved.

This is an actual quote from what Kerry told reporters.

Do you see the problem here? "WE COULD GO TO ZERO TOMORROW AND THE PROBLEM ISN'T SOLVED." He also admits that 90% of the problem is from beyond our borders. So why are we doing this again? We aren't the main problem, even the biggest part of it, and we could eliminate all of our part of the problem and it wouldn't fix what they perceive as the problem.

And yet, we're going to kill of tens of thousands of jobs or more, undermine the energy independence we recently obtained that makes us strategically secure for national security, and cost everyone in the country lots more money. All for goals of saving the planet our actions are not even going to achieve.

Crime-it change will be the death of us all.
Not from the weather as much as the collapsed economy.

Kabuki Politics.

Because it's how their class stay in power and keep the citizens from literally ripping 'em to shreds and fertilizing their fields.

Emissions aren't even the reason for the climate changing. Democrats see a Blutopian world where everyone has one mindset and never hesitate to obey. In their future, we're all toodling around in Jetson cars but none of that is possible as long as people still prefer the way things have been since the dawn of man.

Lol... Do you remember the jetsons?
They lived in houses built on stilts raising and lowered those houses to stay above the smog.

So we are raising taxes and pacing ridiculous legislation for “ unsolvable problems”......

Sounds about right.

a reply to: SeektoUnderstand

Perfect for the overlords.

They get an unsolvable problem they can use as an excuse to randomly dick with us forever.

WHAT? I thought they lived above the clouds. But their little eco friendly cars that sounded like bubble blowers is what I was talking about.

Speaking of randomly dicking with us for no reason ...

This is a quote taken from the Wall Street Journal:

The Obama State Department found five separate times that the pipeline would have no material impact on greenhouse gas emissions since crude would still be extracted. Shipping bitumen by rail or tanker would result in 28% to 42% higher CO2 emissions and more leaks. No matter. President Obama in 2015 rejected the permit as an oblation to the Paris Climate accords.

President Trump gave the right of way, but legal challenges by anti-fossil fuel groups marooned the pipeline and ran out the clock on the Trump years. Now Mr. Biden is yanking Keystone’s permit and rejoining the Paris agreement. Neither action will matter to the climate.

Biden killed Keystone. Those jobs have already been sacrificed on the climate alter despite them not making a bit of difference to the climate. In fact, the Obama era climate study showed that the pipeline was actually *greener* then the alternative of using Warren Buffet's railroad cars to transport Canadian crude.

And Canada is going to bring that shale oil up anyhow.

So those jobs have no been killed to now real purpose. There is no greening, and the end result is actually more carbon emission by using rail transport for that oil.

It's not about climate change, it has never been about climate change. It's about a way to usher in communism to the US. The US cannot be the worlds economic and military world leader for communism to take hold. They have to bring us down to third world status to do this. They have have to destroy us from within, and they are currently winning. We have been sold out for a few traitors to line their pockets.

When I heard Kerry say this yesterday it was just beyond belief that he could both acknowledge how well America is doing overall on global emissions and then somehow justify how we still need to disproportionately bare the burden with our Blood and Treasure in the name of “climate change”

We got the same environ(mental) lobby here in the UK who seem determined to shut down our economies whatever the cost.

I dunno if Yanks actually are aware of this but in the UK we don't have any coal mines anymore, literally not a single coal mine in the whole of our island! They deemed it common sense to just bring it in from abroad. Anyway cost of price aside, we do have an actual need for coal for our industry.

Now we are just on the cusp of opening a single new coal mine in Cumbria so as to be able to produce our own coaking coal independently rather than bring it in from Russia or Australia.

Thing is the crazy environmentalist have been kicking up a fuss this week in the media how a (single) new coal mine will set a bad example to everyone and should be cancelled!

They don't care for jobs or our economy it's all about taxes going up and shipping the jobs out abroad I dunno if it's my age but the world seems like its going clinically insane!

Whats it really about - (panoz77) Above got it right - CONTROL

just to reinforce what he said..

Kerry admits zero emissions in US wouldn’t make difference in climate change

The former secretary of state, now Biden’s climate envoy, acknowledged that it would be difficult to bring the world’s top polluters to the table, including China, which produces 30 percent of the world’s carbon emissions.

China gets the PASS

Worse assembly of an Administration EVER lol

CHINA LOVES COAL FAR MORE THAN WIND

By a strange coincidence, just the time when coal use switched from growing to shrinking, about 12 years ago, America’s use of electric power also stopped growing. It has remained at about 4,000 GWh ever since. Perhaps new energy intensive industrial developments were all switched from America to China in anticipation of the US juice price increases that followed.

China on the other hand now generates a whopping 7,500 GWh of electricity, or just under twice what America does. That’s right, they produce almost twice as much power as we do.

Even worse, less than 25% of our electricity goes for industrial uses, while a reported 70% of China’s juice use is industrial. That is roughly 1,000 GWh in America versus 5,000 in China, or five times as much industrial use of electricity. Small wonder that China makes most of the products we use (and pay them for).

Moreover, most of China’s vast power generation is from coal. Of their 7,500 GWh just about 5,000 GWh, or fully two thirds, is powered by cheap coal. By coincidence they equals their entire industrial use. Or maybe it is not a coincidence; it may be how they remain so competitive in the global economy.

In any case China is generating more electricity with coal than America is from all sources combined. That is a lot of coal juice. China’s booming economy basically runs on coal.

It's very simple really.
Trump was America first.
The Left are America last.
They are being paid to make us weaker to benefit the globalists.

I recall a story in the news long ago about how the world was making their carbon targets. They were paying China to open new coal-fired power plants and they were using that as their carbon offsets. China, of course, was happy to do it. They got the jobs to keep their people busy and the power and the money from other countries.

Those other countries got to count the carbon produce against their own measures as an offset so they didn't actually have to change their own behaviors.

This was under the old cap and trade schemes.

Couple of points. A majority of the global population now see Climate Change as the biggest threat to the planet. That means most of us want action taking. So if that costs some jobs, tough - the many outweigh the few. Although, in the long run, those jobs should be replaced in the green energy sector.
Secondly, China is currently embarking on a major Green Revolution. Give it a few years and they will be producing the vast majority of their power from green energy sources, not coal power stations.

Climate change is a global issue so it requires a global response.

a reply to: Flavian

So basically, you want to see others lose everything just so you feel better?

It can even be pointed out to you how those actions won't do squat to actually address anything about the global climate, but because it makes *you* *feel* better, you want those actions taken and tens of thousands or more, put out of work yesterday?

What kind of narcissistic monster are you?

a reply to: ketsuko

No, you have completely taken what i said out of context to reinforce your own beliefs. Nations, including China, are taking this much more seriously now. Have you actually bothered to look at what China's plans are? Some of which are already being implemented.

But seriously, we are a global population of 7 billion. What is more important - the benefit of 7 billion or the benefit of tens of thousands? It shouldn't even be a question.....

a reply to: Flavian

The majority of the world's population also believe in some moon god or the other and their understanding of physics and chemistry is limited to "I've heard of them".

The truth is that most green tech is highly inefficient "and not green" and the only one that is reliable is nuclear.

Stopping pollution is something everyone is on board with but wasting time and money on fairy tails and pipe dreams with not fix the issue.
