Kerry Tells Hungry Africans Not to Build Farms Because of Global Warming

More blood for the Green Goddess.

“Certain agricultural processes can actually release carbon pollution and help contribute to the problem [of global warming] in the first place,” Kerry said. “Rather than convert natural areas to new farmland – a process that typically releases significant amounts of carbon pollution – we can instead concentrate our efforts on making existing farmlands more productive.”

Or they could do both.

That seems like a good idea for a continent struggling with famines.

The original Green Revolution played a key role in expanding agricultural usability. But as the population expands, farmland has to expand too.

“Let them eat Heinz Ketchup” is not an option.

Greens however care more about Carbon than people. That’s the sociopathic position on display here. The Greens respond to everything by touting more efficiency, meanwhile they run up the cost of the original product.

They’ve done that with energy in the West. Now they’re trying to do it with food in Africa.

There are senior citizens dying of Energy Poverty in the UK because the Greens pushed wind and solar subsidies. Now they would like to see children dying in Africa.

    In Soviet America greens eat you.

      Well done. :)

      I thought they were vegetarians.

    “…we can instead concentrate our efforts on making existing farmlands more productive.” So said Josef Stalin. Hey, don’t you know that the more millions who die of starvation leave more for us survivors and planners? But, I wonder how Kerry’s agricultural advice meshes with Obama’s plans to “electrify” Africa, at U.S. taxpayer expense, yet.

    “Carbon Pollution” – do these fu#ing useless clowns ever listen to themselves?

    African leaders have been ahead of the game in exploiting existing farms – like Mugabe murdering all the white farmers and handing over their land to his cronies ?

      Those white people don’t count. They are racists. All white people are racists because the Left said so.

  • truepeers

    This is exactly what the Green Nazis would have said. Skerry.

  • trapper

    Ahh, Leftist Imperialism. That combined with banning ddt, and stopping every significant electrical power project by denying them loans, results in keeping Black Africa poor and unhealthy.

    John Kerry does not have the brains to do other than as he is told.

    He does not have a real education. His average grade at Yale was 76 out a 100, a C average.

    Do not expect him to be able to crank any equations himself.

  • De Doc

    Now they have to export the Plantation Mentality to Africa!

  • fpm

    Certain human beings, aka green zealots, actually release a lot of carbon and green gas that contribute to the problem when they talk and f*rt, it’s better for the environment if they keep their mouths shut.

    Just stop flying around the world John.

    This from your NY times

    …air travel is their most serious environmental sin. One round-trip flight from New York to Europe or to San Francisco creates a warming effect equivalent to 2 or 3 tons of carbon dioxide per person. The average American generates about 19 tons of carbon dioxide a year; the average European, 10

    Since you believe this EcoWacko baloney John, walk the walk,

    This goes for keeping your boats docked and your cars parked.

    • truebearing

      And his pompous, vacuous mouth shut.

  • truebearing

    But.. but…what about the children, Mr. Secretary?? You know, like in the Hamas propaganda photos? We know that children are your reason for living, so you know they have to have food to eat, Mr. Kerry, sir, and to have meaningful endeavor in their lives so they don’t get recruited into Islamic terror groups.

    “They can all join the Peace Corps and teach the people of Africa how to become self-sufficient by learning how to farm and feed themselves…oh wait, that was from my speech in 1975 on the re-purposing of the American soldier…umm, the African children should have thought of the environment before they were born. I have to go. It’s time for a spin on my pink girl’s bike.”

    But cruising around in a 500ft yacht powered by a 50,000 horse power diesel engine doesn’t effect the environment at all.

  • TMRYAx2

    Look an ‘Imperialist’!
    I thought leftists were against meddling in other countries and other people’s lives.
    LOL

  • Contemptuous Maximus

    Anyone who even utters the phrase “carbon pollution ” should be deported to Greenland without delay.

  • carltjohnson

    Carbon is a necessary part of life on this planet. It is not a climate dictator nor is it a significant green house gas, it is a climate indicator and a valuable coolant in our ionosphere. Farming lands that have been effected by desertification would allow carbon to be returned into the earth for plant growth…duh…

  • Debra Blouin

    Carbon pollution? I think the more pressing issue is the methane pollution coming out of the mouths of greeniacs.
