Putting one's fingers in one's ears, closing one's eyes and singing "la la la la la la la la" every time climate change is brought up will not make it go away nor change the fact that mankind has had an effect on it.
It is here and we ALL are going to have to deal with it.
So, dear deniers, educate yourselves and please .
Now look here. The climate has been changing non stop for over 5 billion years. Before this country was ever founded, and before the glorious party Kerry is from was ever created as well.

You know what the problem with your post is here, neo96. Its this:
Wait really ?
'Climate change' ranks up there with 'terrorism' now?
"Up there with terrorism? Oh my." Check this out. www.washingtonsblog.com...
– You are 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack
– You are 12,571 times more likely to die from cancer than from a terrorist attack
— You are 11,000 times more likely to die in an airplane accident than from a terrorist plot involving an airplane
— You are 1048 times more likely to die from a car accident than from a terrorist attack
–You are 404 times more likely to die in a fall than from a terrorist attack
Until you get to the end, where you can read you are 6 times more likely to get killed by weather than a terrorist attack, at present. So yes, the weather weirdness is already killing more people than terrorism, and if the predictions are correct, it will kill many many more, at an increasing rate. Now If you're argument is that funding more cancer or heart disease research might be a better path, I respect you. But if your argument is that you're shocked that some one is paying attention to weather weirdness instead of terrorists, I'm not impressed.

Guess someone missed the 'scale' of the US government's power.
Not really surprised at the worship of statolatry by 'climate change' pushers.
No considering all anyone has to do is look at what they do with the power they already have.
And 'mitigate' ?
Explain to me how them taking more power, and destroying more business, and redistributing wealth 'mitigates' climate change.
Please by all means enlighten me how people think the US government has the power of mother nature.
They don't.
They have the power of regulation, and taxation that destroys more wealth, and jobs than all of what mother nature has ever done.
And I'm not sure where Kerry suggested that "taking more power, and destroying more business, and redistributing wealth" was the answer - perhaps you could point that bit out to me??
Could you please make up your mind whether the US Govt has more power than the weather or not??
Secretary of State John Kerry drove home a hard line on the threats of climate change Sunday, saying they rank as high as terrorism threat.

100 years from now you will wish more had been done to mitigate climate change due to global warming.

Climate Change has to potential to drive the human race into extinction. I'd call that a pretty serious threat. When the crops in the heartland fail to severe disruptions in the weather, and millions face starvation, and the collapse of society that results, I'd say that outranks "terrorism" any day - especially given that most of these terrorism threats are

Does it really have to be explained that millions of people around the globe earn money from fossil fuel jobs?
DOES IT ?
Could you please make up your mind whether the US Govt has more power than the weather or not??
Intentionally being obtuse ?
The US government has the power of regulation, and taxation, and sanctions that kills wealth, and jobs.
What part of that is someone missing?
They can't control the weather, so they will control people, and world economies.
Here's the problem I have with climate change - It isn't that the climate is changing. It sort of does that, always has and always will. That's what climate does. It does it so often, that when I learned evolution in school, climate was one of the primary drivers.
