Daily Mail: John Kerry claims air conditioner chemicals are as dangerous as ISIS at climate conference
* Traveled to Vienna, Austria on Friday for environmental treaty talks
* Negotiated amendment to the Montreal Protocol against ozone depletion
* Amendment reduces hydrofluorocarbons, compounds used as refrigerants
* Secretary Of State said decision could 'literally save life on the planet itself'

The Secretary Of State traveled to Vienna, Austria on Friday to negotiate an amendment to the 1987 Montreal Protocol, created to protect the ozone layer.
The amendment phases out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), compounds that are mostly used as refrigerants and act as potent greenhouses gases.
Kerry went to Vienna with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Gina McCarthy and compared the fight against climate change to the fight against terrorism during talks with parties to the Montreal Protocol.

Kerry tries to say something relevant at a conference and blows it.
Maybe if we love the chemicals enough they will leave us alone as our Attorney General suggested about Islamic Jihadists.
Air Conditioner Jihadists are by far our true enemy!
Maybe we could get the CIA to start a war between the chemicals and the Jihadists then we could sell weapons to both.
