The ex-climate czar found folks are intelligent enough to see through the logic of depopulation, so he got frustrated at our freedom of speech.

He thinks he's delaying human extinction.

In reality, he pushing human extinction closer.

The World Economic Forum held its 'Sustainable Development Impact Meetings' during last week's United Nations General Assembly in New York City. Speaking at the meeting, far-left elitist and former presidential climate envoy John Kerry expressed frustration to fellow globalists, stating that the First Amendment frequently obstructs their agenda.

"Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer [disinformation] out of existence. What we need is to win...the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change," Kerry said.

That darn freedom of speech. Kerry would be better off in China or North Korea.

It's like losing a climate debate and then banning the debate winner from posting.

I'm taking my marbles home. :)


His opinion and speech is much more important because he's trying to save the world.

Maybe he can book the same flight as the all the Republicans with their book bans?

Liberals are more into banning books. Along with anything else they do not like.

See, the thing is this proves yet again how global warming believers simply cannot handle someone not just lapping up their story but instead thinking for themselves.

Last I checked, GOP states are banned books from schools and libraries, and banning men dressed in from performing in public. So stick it.

Banning perverts from reading to children is simply a smart thing. Let them perform at the gay clubs that like that crap.

The Southeast is grappling with widespread devastation after Helene made landfall Thursday as the strongest hurricane on record to slam into Florida’s Big Bend region and tore through multiple states, killing at least 62 people, knocking out power to millions and trapping families in floodwaters. In hard-hit North Carolina, days of unrelenting flooding have turned roads into waterways, left many without basic necessities and strained state resources. Here’s the latest:

• More than 60 dead across 5 states: Deaths have been reported in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. At least 10 people are dead in North Carolina, a release from Gov. Roy Cooper’s office said Saturday evening. At least 23 are dead in South Carolina, including two firefighters in Saluda County, authorities said. In Georgia, at least

17 people have died, two of them killed by a tornado in Alamo, according to a spokesperson for Gov. Brian Kemp. In Florida, at least 11 people have died, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Saturday, including several people who drowned in Pinellas County. One person died in Craig County, Virginia, in a storm-related tree fall and building collapse, Gov. Glenn Youngkin said Friday.

• Scores of missing persons reports filed amid water outages: Officials in Buncombe County, North Carolina, have received more than a thousand missing persons reports through an online form, the County Manager Avril Pinder said Sunday, cautioning that figure likely includes duplicate submissions and that communications outages mean people are struggling to reach one another. But authorities reman unable to perform wellness checks. “We’re still trying to save every single person we can,” said Pinder, who a day earlier referred to Helene as the county’s “own Hurricane Katrina.” In the meantime, the city of Weaverville has no water and no power, according to Mayor Patrick Fitzsimmons, after a water plant was inundated by 8 feet of water. The county, which includes Asheville, has been anticipating “several tractor trailer loads off water,” but those deliveries were delayed, Pinder said. FEMA has sent bottled water to North Carolina, Administrator Deanne Criswell told CBS News on Sunday.

• Nearly 400 roads closed in North Carolina: About 390 roads and dozens of highways remained closed in western North Carolina Sunday morning, according to the state’s transportation department. Access to clean drinking water is another problem: Seven water plants across the state – in Avery, Burke, Haywood, Jackson, Rutherford, Watauga and Yancey counties – are closed, impacting nearly 70,000 households. Seventeen water plants reported having no power. There are 50 boil water advisories in effect across western communities.

• Millions without power in Southeast: The remnants of Helene continued to knock out power for several states across the eastern US on Saturday, with about 2.5 million customers left in the dark in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Virginia, according to PowerOutage.us.

• ‘It looks like a bomb went off’ in Georgia: Helene “spared no one,” Gov. Brian Kemp said Saturday. Among the 17 people who died in Georgia was a mother and her 1-month-old twin boys, a 7-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl, and a 58-year-old man, according to Kemp. “It looks like a tornado went off, it looks like a bomb went off,” Kemp said.

• South Carolina ‘devastated’ by Helene: The National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina, said Saturday it is “devastated by the horrific flooding and widespread wind damage that was caused by Hurricane Helene.” The agency called it “the worst event in our office’s history,” in a Facebook post Saturday evening.

• ‘Complete obliteration’ along Florida coast: Days after Helene slammed Florida on Thursday night as a Category 4 hurricane, countless residents are displaced, boil water notices are in place in multiple counties and power is out for over 230,000 customers. “You see some just complete obliteration for homes,” DeSantis said Saturday, noting Helene impacted some of the same communities affected by hurricanes Idalia last year and Debby last month.

• Additional rain expected: Helene became a post-tropical cyclone on Friday, but rainfall is expected to continue this weekend across parts of the southern Appalachian region. Additional totals of half an inch are expected for areas of western North Carolina, including Asheville, and eastern Tennessee, including Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Up to 2 inches is possible for portions of Virginia and West Virginia through Monday. “Additional rainfall is not expected to exacerbate ongoing flooding but may lead to excessive runoff due to saturated soils,” the weather service said Sunday morning.
‘We all really need help here’

Since Helene started swamping the region, it’s turned neighborhoods into lakes, lifted cars like toys, snapped trees like twigs and left businesses underwater. Piles of thick mud and floating debris blocked streets as torrential rains collapsed roadways and washed out bridges. It’s left hundreds of people in North Carolina stranded in homes, hospitals or transportation systems, awaiting rescue.

“The priority is getting people out,” North Carolina Gov. Cooper told CNN affiliate Spectrum News. “And getting supplies in.”
But officials face a major hurdle: “Everything is flooded. It is very difficult for them to see exactly what the problems are,” Cooper said.

On Friday, Stevie Hollander watched as floodwaters inundated his Asheville apartment complex, where he lives on the second floor with his sister and her fiancé.
“The water almost reached us but thankfully went down,” he told CNN. Most residents on the first floor left before their units were submerged, while other relocated to stay with residents on higher floors.

“We all really need help here. We need water, power of sorts, food, gas. Anything.” he said, “We just don’t really know what to do.”
Hollander and his family attempted to drive north Saturday, but road closures forced them to return to the apartment. The family only has four water bottles left and little nonperishable food, Hollander said.

In Black Mountain, North Carolina, Sofia Grace Kunst contended with another problem: a landslide she said tore through the window and wall of a dining hall where she was playing Uno with six friends while on a weeklong trip.

It was exactly 9:10 a.m. Friday when mud and debris shattered a window and poured into the room, she said.
“Landslide! Everybody run,” someone yelled.

“I see this giant wave of like mud and trees and rocks just coming towards us,” Kunst told CNN, estimating it was 5 or 6 feet high.
She ran into the main room of the dining hall, only to see the wall completely cave in. The group fled to the porch, where many of her peers were crying. Kunst sat in shock, barefoot.

It was only then she realized she still had her Uno cards in hand.

The group eventually trekked through muddy water, seeking refuge in a parking lot on higher ground. They were stranded there for some time, but eventually reached a shelter.
“That’s when it hit most people. There were a lot of tears,” Kunst said. “For me, it really didn’t hit me emotionally, but my body started reacting. I started shaking like crazy. I felt like I had to, like, scream or let off energy,” Kunst said.

As day broke Saturday, Patrick McNamara, who runs a small milk distribution business in Asheville, got his first glimpse at the destruction left by Helene.
“The floodwaters were 4 feet above the dock,” McNamara said. “So the entire building has been wiped out.”
His business machinery was strewn across the warehouse, milk spoiled and inches of mud pilled all over the floor. McNamara estimates he’ll have to get rid of thousands of gallons of milk.

McNamara, concerned about access to resources, said he may have to consider relocating the business to another facility.

A hurricane caused damage. What on earth does this have to do with the global warming scam?

I do not know which is more disgusting. Using tragedy of a hurricane or tragedy of a school shooting to push a political agenda.

so you see what I meant about the slow start to the season when I said I know what the other side would do if the opposite were the case

I said it proves nothing even if it turns out to be a below normal season for number of hurricanes and I stick with that if it turns to be a normal season for number of hurricanes

the panic folks are clinging to the strength of this one hurricane it seems. They need to prove it to themselves I guess

for sure NC really got clobbered, all kinds of roads wiped out that will take forever to fix. I think they may do better when the storm hits them on the coast and comes in that way
