World News By Arshad Mohammed JAKARTA (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned Indonesians on Sunday that man-made climate change could threaten their entire way of life, deriding those who doubted the existence of perhaps the worlds most fearsome weapon of mass destruction. Kerry described those who do not accept that human activity causes global warming as shoddy scientists and extreme ideologues, and said big companies and special interests should not be allowed to hijack the climate debate. Aides said Kerry had chosen Indonesia for the first of what is to be a series of speeches on the topic this year partly because, as an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, it is particularly at risk from rising sea levels. Because of climate change, its no secret that today Indonesia is ... one of the most vulnerable countries on Earth, Kerry told an audience of students at a high-tech U.S.-funded cultural center at a Jakarta mall.
