(CNSNews.com) - Describing himself as "a child of the ocean," Secretary of State John Kerry warned that the "fragile ecosystem" is threatened by climate change.

"We call this beautiful planet that we are privileged to inhabit for a short period of time -- we call it Earth, but it could well have been called Ocean because three-quarters of it is ocean," Kerry told a gathering at the National Geographic Society in Washington on Monday.

Kerry mentioned the "enormous challenge ahead of us," given an "energy policy that results in acidification, the bleaching of coral, the destruction of species, the change in the Arctic because of the ice melt, and the change in the krill, the population of whales. The entire system is interdependent, and we toy with that at our peril."

Kerry said climate change is becoming a "serious international issue" as more people experience it firsthand: "The science is screaming at us, literally, demanding that people in positions of public responsibility at least exercise the so-called 'precautionary principle' to balance the equities, and not knowing completely the outcomes -- at least understand what is happening and take steps to prevent potential disaster."

It can be very depressing to read the posts here because so many of the radical right nutters post this kind of empty-headed stupidity that's in this thread. But, the incredible degree of closed minded stupidity we see here is actually a minority. This board is not, in any way, a microcosm of the world's population. In fact, there really are many many more people who are willing to read and learn and move forward. We need to be grateful for that and let the dummies hold hands, eat their donuts, pet their guns and just be stupid.

Let's hope Kerry, and others, keeps up the good fight - for the good of us all, especially our children and their children and the children after them.

[AmyNation]

I have heard that environmentalism is on the agenda of the New Pope. It's gonna be an interesting 4 years

 

[Sallow]

He is an idiot
Also a traitor
Did I mention he is an idiot and traitor?

Who was he a traitor too?

I mean outside of Benedict Arnold..the biggest traitor and treasonous bastard to this country was Ronald Reagan.

 

[Sallow]

The last several Popes condemned war and poverty.

The only thing Conservatives heard was the condemnation of abortion.

First is this the John Kerry who served in Viet Nam...He usually mentions that.
Secondly.Aren't there more pressing matters for the Secretary to be dealing with.
And last of all why doesn't get in the face of China and India and Russia about this climate crap.
Why not?...they would kick his ass right in front on him.
