Climate change will be catastrophic to national security unless countries address it with measures such as a U.S. carbon tax, says retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who will speak Monday in Portland.

How much carbon was released during WWII?

How come environmentalists aren't angry about the planes and ships that sunk in the ocean?

Hey now. They don’t call him wackadoodle wesley for nothing. What an embarrassment to the uniform he wore. Have a great Easter.

Hopefully we’ll get some snow/rain out of this system cause you know we need the water. Did you stumble on any springs when you were in the outback recently?

Retired means retired, that includes his useless, unsolicited input.

Why do these guys never get it that when the public doesn’t want them, it doesn’t want them?

Trying to price lower income people off the roads is immoral. FU, traitor pig. You are a disgrace to all American service members.

Ok. Wesley Clark and his fellow hoaxers go first. You idiots pay the carbon tax and leave the rest of us alone.

Clark once said “I would have been a Republican if Karl Rove had returned my phone calls.”.

Thank you for letting it ring, Karl!!

No, that was oboma resurrecting Islam to bring back his Mahdi. Unless there is blood running through the streets, obomas Mahdi will not return. Armageddon is the goal, and that's why the muslims are so well protected by the president. Without the final world war on his watch, his presidency would be consider a failure by his people.

Maybe I'm wrong, but do your best to prove me wrong.
(Good luck with that.)

Wesley Clark and Jimmy Carter — two losers who will never go away. Every so often, they have to say or do something to try to stay relevant.

Wish we had a parliamentary system and could vote out the loose cannon presidents.

Worse than a moron, Clark was in command of government forces at the Waco siege and shares responsibility for the 82 people who were killed there.
