[Geee]

CNS News:

Secretary of State John Kerry told high school students on Wednesday that “your parents’ money is going to pay for the harder impact of storms that we’re suffering - much more damage than ever before as a result of the intensity of the storms that we suffer because of climate change.”

 

Speaking to students at Montgomery Blair H.S. in Silver Spring, Maryland on Wednesday, Kerry also answered his own question – “Why is the Secretary of State of the United States of America, in an age where we have terrorism and we have several wars going on at the same time – why are we focused on the oceans, and what does that have to do with my life every single day?” – by telling the youngsters that “the oceans are essential to your life.”

 

The Secretary of State visited the school in suburban Maryland to congratulate its National Science Bowl-winning team, as well as the runners-up in the National Ocean Science Bowl.

 

Kerry told the students that “we are seeing predictions of [sea level rise] anywhere from three to six feet, and over a course of time, end of century into the next century, unpredictable levels well more than that conceivably, because if the Antarctic ice sheet continues [melting] at the rate it’s going, we’re going to have a serious, serious challenge.
