John Kerry: Mother Nature 'Is Screaming At Us' About Climate Change

Secretary of State John Kerry said Mother Nature "is screaming at us" about climate change.

According to The Hill and the blog Responding to Climate Change, Kerry made the remarks on Monday, ahead of the United Nations' climate summit in New York. Kerry repeated a claim often made by himself and others in the Obama Administration, that climate change "is the most serious challenge we face on the planet."

"You don't have to take my word, or [former Vice President] Al Gore's word on it," Kerry said. "You can wake up pretty much every day and listen to Mother Nature, who is screaming at us about [it]."

Gore was one of more than 400,000 who marched through New York on Sunday at the People's Climate March, an event some are calling the largest climate march in history.

The Hill has more on Kerry's comments from Monday morning:

Kerry announced that the U.S. will contribute $15 million to "kick start" the World Bank auction facility aimed at cutting methane emissions across the globe in an effort to mitigate global warming.

He stressed that the U.S. and other countries are "not meeting the challenges" head on, but added that he is "personally committed to making sure [climate change] is front and center in all of [U.S.] diplomatic talks."

Harry Reid Calls On GOP To Condemn 'Hateful Racist' --SOP: Next they're "racists" for not calling Bundy "racist."

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) called on Republicans to condemn rancher Cliven Bundy, who made a series ofracist remarks in an interview with the New York Times this week.

In a piece published Wednesday, the Times reports Bundy wondered aloud about "the Negro," asking if black people were "better off as slaves."

“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” Bundy said at what he called a daily news conference. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

In a statement Thursday, Reid called on Republicans, several of which had publiclyexpressed their support for Bundy in his dispute with the Bureau of Land Managementover grazing fees, to disown the "hateful racist":

"I used to live in North Las Vegas and it is home to some of the hardest-working people I have ever met - men and women who embody the American dream by working hard every day to build a better life for themselves and their families. By contrast, Cliven Bundy has spent decades profiting off government land while refusing to pay the same fair use fees as his fellow ranchers. Today, Bundy revealed himself to be a hateful racist. But by denigrating people who work hard and play by the rules while he mooches off public land he also revealed himself to be a hypocrite."
