Kerry's Climate Fiasco Speech

According to the Weekly Standard, Secretary of State John Kerry made the commencement address at Boston College. He discussed climate change.
In his discussion, Kerry made a speculation. What if 97% of the scientists were wrong on the connection between climate change and carbon dioxide, but we had still followed the programs presently recommended by the UN and the Obama administration?
He said, we would have put millions of people to work transitioning our energy, creating new and renewable and alternative sources; we make life healthier because we have less particulates in the air and cleaner air and more health; we give ourselves greater security through greater energy independence.
Let’s take Kerry’s so-called advantages of following the Obama Administration program one of the time.
We would have put millions of people to work unnecessarily transitioning our energy, creating new and renewable and alternative sources, when they are not now needed. Simply put, a boondoggle operation putting people to work to do jobs that don’t need to be done. It’s the standard procedure of digging a hole in and filling it in. It makes work but nothing is accomplished.
The Obama administration program on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants has nothing to do with particulates. Carbon dioxide is a gas. Particulates are small solid particles, usually soot or ash. It is unhealthy to breathe air containing these particulates, and we already have programs in place to limit the amount in the atmosphere.
Eliminating carbon dioxide emissions from power plants does nothing to give cleaner air and more health. Carbon dioxide is a natural composition of the atmosphere. It has no negative effect on breathing, unless it is in high concentrations and limits the supply of oxygen to the body. Carbon dioxide emissions from power plants to the atmosphere do not come anywhere near that danger point.
New and renewable alternatives to fossil fuels will not give us energy independence. The Obama administration has been forcing solar and wind energy for many years through subsidies and loan guarantees with no significant success. The reason is that fossil fuels are a significantly cheaper source of energy, and we have generated special drilling techniques, including fracking and enhanced oil recovery, such that we are on the road to real energy independence, without any significant help of a few percent from wind and solar.
