Kerry: Climate change as dangerous as WMDs
aljazeera.com John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, has stressed the importance of tackling climate change in a speech in Indonesia, saying that it may be the world's "most fearsome" weapon of mass destruction. Kerry, who delivered the speech on Sunday in the capital, Jakarta, spoke critically about climate change sceptics adding that everyone and every country must take responsibility and act immediately. "We simply don't have time to let a few loud interest groups hijack the climate conversation," he said, referring to what he called "big companies" that "don't want to change and spend a lot of money" to act to reduce the risks. He later singled out big oil and coal concerns as the primary offenders. "The science is unequivocal, and those who refuse to believe it are simply burying their heads in the sand," Kerry said. He added that 97 percent of scientists who weighed in on the issue agree that the phenomenon is real, and argued that the cost of inaction to environments and economies will far outweigh the expense of reducing greenhouse gasses. The solution, Kerry said, was a new global energy policy that shifts reliance from fossil fuels to cleaner technologies. He said that the US president, Barack Obama, was championing such a shift and encouraged others to appeal to their leaders to join. to read more: aljazeera.com
