Clinton: Climate change is the world's biggest worry

DAVOS, Switzerland -- Former U.S. President Bill Clinton told corporate chieftains and political bigwigs Saturday that climate change was the world's biggest problem _ followed by global inequality and the "apparently irreconcilable" religious and cultural differences behind terrorism.

Clinton's comments provided something a freewheeling and philosophical finale _ ahead of Sunday's formal wrap-up _ to several days of high-powered discourse on the state of the world, and the mostly admiring audience seemed to hang on his every word.

I thought the heart attack would do it but the Lord saw fit to punish us by allowing him to stay on this side.

GOod Morning T,
Mc'Nobrain probably thinks rubbing elbows with the commie klintoon will yield demo votes.

Mc'Blame should have been discharged for the Navy for crashing two jets while in the service. Incompetence breeds incompentence.

Mc'lame has been getting re-elected via his POW status for years.

If it comes down to a race between Mc'insane and black pant suit ac/dc arkansauce trailer park stank shrillary, then Mc-the-dull-repub will get my vote.

People should remember under a arkansauce trailer park stank, self proclaimed "wicked witch of the red star," life for American Patriots will be hell to pay. Lest we revolt and remove the leninists(klintoons from office)

Only Saying What Needs To Be Said,
NSNR-THM

Perhaps this explains why the Clintonistas did nothing about terrorism for eight years. They're worried about other things (not that they did much about those either).

Clinton called for "a serious global effort to develop a clean energy future" to avoid the onset of another ice age.

His tertiary syphilis must be getting to him.

Davos ain't UFOs. No tinfoil hat required. It's real. The world's biggest transnational corporations are there, the internationalists' movers and shakers are there, the leaders of the world's developed countries are there, the leaders of the world's developing countries are there, dimwitted but rich and telegenic Hollywood is there, America's number one New Democrat Third Way "progressive" is there -- it's where the year's globalist agenda is set for everyone from U.S. New Democrat "progressives" to the U.N.; from the World Bank to the WTO. IMO.

Why isn't the alternative globalization movement, the World Social Forum, there protesting its "great capitalist rival?" Where are the protesters in Davos? Ans: inside the forum with all of the above except the corporate leaders. The economic forum and the social forum are becoming one. I bet.

Together they will one day ask the corporate leaders, "Hey, do you guys sell rope?"

No matter how how hard the Tri-lateralist and Builderburgers try they will not succeed in taking over the world. But Clinton has done a fantastic job turning the United States into a future third world country.

"... and the mostly admiring audience seemed to hang on his every word."

No slant here. Nope. No bias here. Not a bit.

Unless the entire audience was nothing but a bunch of America-hating Euro-snob socialists.

Who here remembers the Global cooling scare of the 1970's? If you read and understand climate change, we have been warming since the last ice age, with the medieval warm period followed by the little ice age. around the time of the civil war, the climate started to warm rapidly. There were scientists back them(late 1800's to early 1900's) that also predicted Global warming fears. After WW2, the earth cooled slightly leading scientists to believe the earth was cooling.

Welsey educated Hillary's use of the vernacular was talking down to her black audience. I wish that they were more aware of this and showed their resentment.

Seems simple enough that he could consult with his old butt buddy Albore. Somebody with the intelligence to invent the internet could invent some kind of mega space modulator that could change the cycles that this planet has experienced naturally for millions of years. Super Al in the twenty-first and a half century! (a la Duck Dogers :))

Apparently, Slick Willie has been taking advice from that noted genius and expert Weatherman, Algore!
