ANCHORAGE VISIT: Ex-president slams Bush, Alaska senators for environmental policies.
Congress should not spoil the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with drilling rigs, but the most serious environmental issue facing Alaska these days is global warming, former President Jimmy Carter told an Anchorage audience Wednesday.
"Alaska is in the global forefront of the adverse effects of global warming," Carter said, describing shrinking protective ice caps, melting glaciers and villages threatened by erosion. He criticized the Bush administration, saying the U.S. government is failing to take serious steps to reduce atmosphere-warming emissions.
At a press conference before his speech, Carter said Alaska's own U.S. senators had sided with "commercial interests" in voting against an effort to restrict emissions.
Carter was the featured speaker at a two-day gathering to

I cleaned mine today - Ran it through the dish washer. There was no barf on it though, just the cookie debris.
Carter...isn't he dead yet? (I mean from more than the neck up!)
Hey, jimmahcarter. There's a war going on. Sit down. Shut up. Hold on...or not.
Who pays to ship his baggage? I didn't mean you, Roslyn.
If he was so concerned he would shut his piehole. We'd all be better off.
Of course we should listen to such a great President </sarcasm>
Carter can stuff his message up his......
Sorry. I'm just not in a good mood today and don't have the patience to deal with these twits.
Sic the rabbit on him.
Who cares what Jimmy Carter thinks?
Hey Jimmie! Take that sweater off that you've been wearing since you were in office. You ain't Mister Rogers.
The fact that the media prints anything that retard has to say concerns me.

Too bad he isn't. Oprah should use him as a door mat for her show. He fits right in to the "commercialized liberalism" and handwringing slobbering of her audience.
God help this country.
And Carter's idiocy concerns me. Neither of us have any influence to rectify our concerns, so what does it matter?
Please Jimmy, just go away! You were a failure as a president an anything you say now just reminds us of it
Jimmie might be a nice clean cut guy but he has no common sense.....and he's a pain in the butt.
To hell with him and any of his opinions.
Can we release it on CD? There's a fortune to be made...
Just today? I have this ongoing all consuming anger-fest fantasy of punching the snot out of biden, boxer, kennedy, pelosi, reid, schumer, rangel, durbin, kerry, carter, moore, sarandon, goldberg, edwards and thats before my morning coffee. The list gets longer after I get revved up.
This POS missed the cutoff!
The Peanut man needs to give it a rest
Sorry, but economic growth and security trump the
theoretical concerns (if present) of global warming.
Boy does have bad timing
No Barf Alert needed. Two things in the title are code for *Barf*: Carter & global warming (Concerned doesn't count, Carter is always concerned about something)
I remember when Jimmah was concerned about nuclear proliferation, because his daughter Amy was. Later, he gave away nukes to a retarded midget Korean. So now he's concerned about global warming? I sure hope he's not negotiating Earth's fate with the devil...
Of course we would earn big bucks when we sell Japan,Italy, Indonesia, Mexico and all those other countires with active volcanos their Midas Volcano mufflers. Of course the UN would be responsible for caping all those undersea volcanos and there is the Depends for the whales wholes flatulence is gargantuan!
We can appoint Al Blore to head this project as Ambassador for Blowhards!
Too soon to tell if Alaska would benefit from warming. If precipitation picks up some it might not be a bad thing. If precipitation decreases, the place will be a desert. Right now it is a jungle.
Just watching Jesse on the H&C show. He's concerned too.
Global warming is probably increased by the steady flow of hot air from Plains, GA.
Anyway, who could believe anything from a person with such big teeth? Reminds me of the line from Little Red Riding Hood---"But Grandmother, what big teeth you have."
vaudine
What a coinkidink. My s**t list and yours are the same.
LOL
I really hope you enjoy your lumps of coal from Santa this year!
On the series side, how do we tell this peanut head to STFU?
He is just an embarrasement - period.
LVM
I would watch Kennedy's left. He can put a lot of weight behind it.
Were they "peanut" butter cookie crumbs?
Jimmy Carter, gone and best forgotten, although he is my favorite Evangelical Universalist.
He's still out there, Jimmy.
Waiting, watching, biding his time...
Who is this "Jimmy Carter" you speak of?
Jimmy is NOT a nice, clean cut guy. He is NOT stupid. He is an angry, passive aggressive SOB that hasn't gotten over the fact he is really a loser and was a lousy president! He is dangerous when he opens his mouth, like a sanake with its tongue ready to strike its fangs. Behind that Mr Rogers mask is one very viscious man.
He should just get out his old copy of Playboy and go for the "lust in his heart" and talk about his apolgy for that again.
Next time I'll let you all know how I really feel about him.
He's a killer!
He can jump about....
Look at the bones!
You're a braver man than I. When I heard that both Jackson and Wesley Clark were in H&C, I called it a night for the TV.
Oh, goody.
Idiot carter should worry more about his depends than the environment. Carter needs to be put in an old fools home, for good.
When I read his book, I was impressed. Maybe I am impressed with anybody that appreciates Rickover. I thought Carter would be an excellent Pres, but I don't know where the tough, competent Navy officer went. He sure didn't show up in the Oval Office. I didn't vote for him anyway.
He doesn't know, himself. How am I supposed to?
But no match for my right!
WGF!
Jimmah! Stick your bright head in the fridge if it is too hot for you. STFU already! We got your messages, all of them.
He's coming for you, Jimmy! Your Nobel Prize won't stop him!
Hows that saying go, Great minds think....
TODAY!!!
Former President Jimmy Carter affirms the importance of preserving wilderness lands while fielding questions about the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge during a press conference Wednesday at the Hilton Anchorage.
HELLO... JIMMY!! We are watching World War Three which could have been stopped on YOUR watch, and instead you are droning on about a WILDLIFE REFUGE!!??? '
Nor mine, just mentioned because one could land, it is possible if unlikely. There is a lot of beef there, well marbled.
And most of his statements are downright treasonous.
