Remarks on Climate Change

Remarks on Climate Change. John Kerry February, 2014. 8

" think about this: terrorism, epidemics, poverty, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction – all challenges that know no borders – the reality is that climate change ranks right up there with every single one of them" "If the worst-case scenario about climate change, all the worst predictions, if they never materialize, what will be the harm that is done from having made the decision to respond to it? We would actually leave our air cleaner. We would leave our water cleaner. We would actually make our food supply more secure. Our populations would be healthier because of fewer particulates of pollution in the air – less cost to health care." "Just look at the most recent analysis done by the World Bank, which estimates that by 2050, losses from flood damage in Asian ports – fishing ports, shipping ports – the losses in those ports alone could exceed \$1 trillion annually unless we make big changes to the infrastructure of those ports." "There’s a big set of opportunities in front of us. And that’s because the most important news of all: that climate change isn’t only a challenge. It’s not only a burden. It also presents one of the greatest economic opportunities of all time." "The solution to climate change is as clear as the problem. The solution is making the right choices on energy policy. It’s as simple as that. And with a few smart choices, we can ensure that clean energy is the most attractive investment in the global energy sector."
