When John F. Kerry complains of too much warming, it’s usually to tell his driver to turn down the heat in the heated leather seats in the back seat of his limousine.
Over his weekend in Asia, Mr. Kerry said the eruption of Indonesia’s Mount Kelud was a consequence of the planet’s looming fever. “Because of climate change,” he said, “it is no secret that today, Indonesia is also one of the most vulnerable countries on Earth.”
To America’s top diplomat, global warming is “the world’s most fearsome weapon of mass destruction” – worse than “terrorism, epidemics, poverty.” Perhaps also worse than chupacabra, vampires, toothaches, the Loch Ness monster, stubbed toes in the middle of the night, the abominable snowman, the bogeyman lurking under the bed. Maybe even worse than George W. Bush, the all-purpose villain for every Democrat.
