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
