“Global climate change is already violently affecting communities, said John Kerry, US Secretary of State. On Kerry’s India visit, action on trade and climate change are priorities AHMEDABAD, India — Secretary of State John F. Kerry arrived Sunday in this city where Mohandas Gandhi set the stage for India’s independence from Britain, with the top U.S. diplomat seeking to boost trade ties and promote sustainable energy. Kerry said; “Global climate change is already violently affecting communities, not just across India but around the world,” he said. “It is disrupting commerce, development and economic growth. It’s costing farmers crops. It’s costing insurance companies unbelievable payouts. It’s raising the cost of doing business. And, believe me, if it continues down the current trend line, we will see climate refugees, fighting each other for water and seeking food and new opportunities.” washingtonpost/world/asia_pacific/on-kerrys-india-visit-action-on-trade-and-climate-change-are-priorities/2015/01/11/84217fce-977f-11e4-8385-866293322c2f_story.html
