Kerry: Air Conditioning Biggest Threat – Online Petititon: Remove Air Conditioning From All Secretary of State Offices

Posted by Tina

In the world of green elitist humor can supply a stinging truth.

John Kerry stated recently that global warming from air conditioning units posed a greater threat to the world than ISIS. I guess he’s forgotten about millions of lives that have been saved, particularly in areas of the globe that experience life threatening high temps, because of the creation of air conditioning units.

In response to this outlandish assertion, an online petition has been created that’s gotten over 1800 signatures since it was posted Sunday night:

The petition states:

“WHEREAS, Secretary of State John F. Kerry has suggested that air conditioners are as big a threat as ISIS, and WHEREAS, it is the duty of our elected and appointed government officials to lead by example, THEREFORE, we call upon the U.S. Department of State to remove air conditioning from all property that the Department owns, rents, or otherwise employs, including but not limited to embassies, consulates, office buildings, etc., all vehicles owned and/or operated by the Department, and any other property, real or movable, owned, rented, or otherwise employed by the Department.”

The creator of this petition is someone called, “Hopalong Ginsberg,” at Change.org.

Grand idea…stinging truth. Air conditioning is not a greater threat than ISIS. It IS a great benefit to humans of all races and creeds across the planet.

    Lurch also included refrigerators in his list of transgressors, therefore all ‘fridges and bar storage units should be removed.

    Just look at all that hot air the a/c has to convert now – what an energy-saving idea! Let’s include a/c on the airplanes that ferry Lurch & Co on the removal list as well.

    Lurch is an example of political hot airthat is much more damaging than all of the a/c and fridge units put together!

      Nice find RHT, I really appreciate this inventor, even right now as temps move towards 100 and beyond.

      American entrepreneurial invention at it’s finest.

      We haven’t used our air conditioner at home in several years thanks to the extremist greens/nuclear fear mongers who first cut the feet out from under nuclear energy and then later has done everything they can to make fossil fuel use cost prohibitive for many consumers.

      Yes boys and girls the electricity to run that air conditioner comes from natural gas, petroleum, or coal. Neither sun nor wind can produce enough to eliminate these fuels and offer assist only to the degree that they are heavily subsidized. In California PG&E, the greens, and our government sell their environmental plans as doing Californians a big favor. What they don;t tell us is what they have done together to make the cost of energy unnecessarily high!

      Good businesses operate on the notion of bringing the best product at the lowest possible price.

      Green tech is just the opposite. They want to discourage energy use and so don’t care if products are inferior, cost more to consumers, and play fast and loose with our comfort or the lives of old folks, children, and the disabled Following the Popes green encyclical Cory Franklin wrote the following in the Chicago Tribune:

      Coincidentally, July marks the 20th anniversary of the Chicago heat wave that caused nearly 800 deaths citywide. The mortality at County Hospital, where I worked, was disproportionately high because many county patients were elderly, poor and, most important, didn’t have air conditioning in their homes.

      This nation can deliver inexpensive energy to American homes. all we need is the political will to get it done. Progressive Democrats will never get it done. They say they care but in reality they only care about their agenda de jour…the thing they believe will keep them in power.

      This nation can also deliver cleaner air and cleaner water as we have been doing since the early seventies. If we get government control, collusion with corporate and special interests, out of the way it will happen and it will happen fast.

      Long live men like Willis Carrier, and the men and women that invested in the development of that product!

        Shame that none … none … of them who produce the product live in America.

        Bugger the free market, the shareholders, and the management of Carrier.

        • Libby says:

          Also their bankers !

          • Tina says:

            Whose bankers?

            WaPO:

            “I love watching Elizabeth giving it to those who deserve it,” Clinton said. She touted Coakley for her presumably Warrenesque attributes: “She stood up to the big national banks that tried to trick and trap and cheat our families.” Warming to the topic, Clinton continued in an unaccustomed populist vein: “Don’t let anybody tell you that, you know, it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs. You know that old theory, trickle-down economics: That has been tried; that has failed.”

            Problem is, some of Clinton’s long-standing supporters run those big banks. On Monday, at a campaign stop in New York, the Democrats’ presumptive presidential front-runner rephrased. “Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in America, where workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out.”

            Clinton’s semi-demi-about-face reflects a fundamental tension in Democratic politics. Like most Americans, the party’s activists have nothing but scorn for Wall Street, which they see — with ample data backing them up — as enriching itself at the expense of the rest of the nation. Yet at the level of presidential politics and government, a significant sector of big-time banking has long supported the Democrats.

            And then there’s this:

            This effort to recast Clinton as a folksy, down-to-earth, woman of we-the-people is, however, about to collide with the reality of American politics in the money-crazed, post-Citizens United era. Winning the White House in 2016 will cost somewhere between $1 billion and $3 billion — money raised by the candidate’s own campaign and outside groups like super PACs and dark-money nonprofits. And this in an election where it’s already estimated that the overall money may hit $10 billion. …

            …The question is: “Can Clinton claim to stand for ‘everyday Americans,’ while hauling in huge sums of cash from the very wealthiest of us?”

            This much cannot be disputed: Clinton’s connections to the financiers and bankers of this country — and this country’s campaigns — run deep, as Nomi Prins, former Wall Street exec and author of All the Presidents’ Bankers: The Hidden Alliances that Drive American Power (just out in paperback), writes in today’s dispatch. As she documents in her book, the Clintons have longstanding ties to the mightiest banks on Wall Street. …

            …To grasp the dangers that the Big Six banks (JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley) presently pose to the financial stability of our nation and the world, you need to understand their history in Washington, starting with the Clinton years of the 1990s. Alliances established then (not exclusively with Democrats, since bankers are bipartisan by nature) enabled these firms to become as politically powerful as they are today and to exert that power over an unprecedented amount of capital. Rest assured of one thing: their past and present CEOs will prove as critical in backing a Hillary Clinton presidency as they were in enabling her husband’s years in office.

            Read that full article based on the book, “All the Presidents’ Bankers,” by Naomi Prins . It’s an education.

    • Libby says:

      But it’s British, and thereby classy profanity.

      Carrier’s bankers.

      And we know all about Hillary and her bankers. Why do you think those Bernie people are making so much noise?
