McCain Doesn't Understand Why Kerry Is Talking Climate Change...

McCain Doesn't Understand Why Kerry Is Talking Climate Change (AUDIO)

When John Kerry said earlier this week that climate change is one of the world's most pressing problems, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was left wondering if he and the secretary of state are on the same planet.

McCain said Tuesday that in light of recent diplomatic efforts by the United States, Kerry shouldn't be focused on the environment.

“Why should he talk about climate change when we’ve got a 130,000 people in Syria killed, and, as I predicted on this show many times, the whole Geneva thing was a fiasco, when the Iran-U.S. talks are obviously a joke, and the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations haven’t even begun,” McCain told host Mike Broomhead on Phoenix radio station KFYI.

"You know John Kerry and the President, they could be hitting the trifecta here."

As interested as I am in the issue of Israel and Palestine, even I acknowledge that that feature of the international landscape might end up under about thirty feet of salt water within the next century. You think there's problems now? Wait until most of hte world's population is displaced by encroaching sea, wet places become dry and deserts get flooded. When Alabama's under two feet of snow while central Alaska's in the 70's.

Climate change is a national security issue, you fungal old fuck.
