This is beyond disgusting.

Swift Boat John Kerry, the former Senator who compared US soldiers to Genghis Kahn’s genocidal maniacs and threw his medals from the Vietnam War away, today compared climate activists to the troops who stormed the beaches in Normandy.

He is a man whose vacuousness is only matched by his arrogance.

The money-making opportunity for fighting climate change is limitless, tens of trillions of dollars.

Climate envoy John Kerry:

"This represents the greatest economic opportunity the world has experienced since the industrial revolution.”

Kerry has always been a stupid and contemptible man, making it unsurprising that the Democrats chose him as a standard-bearer for their party. He led the 2004 Democratic Party ticket with an even more despicable John Edwards. What a pair of sweethearts they were.

Kerry has failed all his life upward, having won the lottery of life by being both born into and marrying wealth. A member of the extended Forbes family, he married into the Heinz family. As such he is one of the people in the world who individually contributes most to greenhouse gas emissions.

Still, he is a climate alarmist of the highest order, and as he has often admitted, sees promoting climate extremism as a massive financial opportunity for his class.

Kerry currently serves as President Biden’s envoy for the climate, apparently representing Gaia herself to the world.

RECHARGE has a profile of Kerry’s mission, comparing the fight to hamstring the world economy by restricting energy use to the battle against the Nazis during World War II.

Uh, wat?

Today’s generation is facing its very own climate D-Day and must take immediate action in the war against global warming, according to US special presidency envoy for climate John Kerry.

The one-time US presidential candidate used a keynote address on the 79th anniversary of the allied landings in Normandy to make his case to an audience of industry leaders in Norway.

“Today is June 6th. D-day. One of the most singularly important moments of history,” Kerry told a shipping exhibition in Norway.

“A moment that calls to mind every single thing that defined the past half of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century.”

He continued: “Seventy-nine years ago, on a 15 mile stretch of beach, allied soldiers, many of them teenagers, jumped out of landing craft and onto the stuff of Omaha beach.

“They were fighting for a set of values I would say to you are just as important today as they were then. They put their lives on the line to fight against fascism, tyranny and misinformation and the savage slaughter of innocent lives.

“At the moment they jumped into those boats, into a hail of gunfire, it was not clear who was going to win the war. It was not clear how long it would last. On that grey morning 79 years ago, it was not clear the truth would win.”

Wretch.

I suppose Kerry sees every watt of energy generated by a coal plant as comparable to innocents killed by the Nazis or something.

Truly disgraceful. The sacrifices soldiers made to liberate Europe and the suffering of the victims of Nazism are not remotely comparable to anything Kerry describes, although perhaps he thinks eating bugs for protein should be as common today as for those who were being starved into oblivion by the Axis.

Only this time it is Kerry’s heroes who want to force people to eat bugs.

While Kerry said there were key differences between the fight against Nazi Germany and the battle to ease global warming, there are similarities.

“Make no mistake, just as that was a fight for the future as much as anything we have ever faced, what we are seeing now is the same,” he said.

Kerry said the world was now in a decisive decade and the price of failure could carry greater consequences than those faced during the D-Day landings if the right choices are not made.

“What is also clear right now is we can also win this fight, but it requires the same level of innovation and mobilisation that was required back then by those in the greatest generation,” he said.

“Key differences?”

Yes, I would say so. And while innovation and mobilization were definitely required to win the war in Europe, Kerry left out some other key components, especially sacrifice and rationing, both of which he and his ilk are demanding for a “threat” far more vague and far less troublesome than Nazism.

Kerry has always been tone-deaf. Or, I should say, tone deaf when it comes to speaking to normal people, not raving Leftists. I think it is fair to say that his assessment of the threat from climate change is not shared by most Americans, many of whom are somewhat concerned but hardly panicked–despite the fearmongering.

According to Gallup 1% of Americans currently believe that environmental issues, including climate change, are the most important issues facing the country.

1%

John Kerry may be in the Just Stop Oil faction of extremists, but most Americans are far more worried by energy price inflation than CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

Of the many things lacking in activists of all stripes, one of the most important is having a sense of perspective. Even when the issues they are passionate about are legitimate, activists have an amazing ability to blow their own particular bugaboo out of proportion.

If environmentalists were in power during World War II, they would have worried about the effects on Mother Earth of bombing the daylights out of Germany and the use of lead in bullets.

One has to wonder: what would a survivor of the D-Day invasion think if Kerry made this speech to them?

I, for one, would hope they would slug him.
