No, he's actually a genius. He knows there are millions of drooling, slobbering imbeciles who will believe every ounce of prefabricated excrement oozing from his lying mouth. |

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton said on Saturday global warming is a greater threat to the future than terrorism and that the United States and other countries must "get off our butts" and do something about it.
Clinton, speaking to the graduating class at University of Texas' Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, said the United States must pursue policies that make "more partners and fewer enemies" and use "institutionalized cooperation" before there is catastrophic damage from global warming.
"Climate change is more remote than terror but a more profound threat to the future of the children and the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren I hope all of you have," Clinton said.
"It's the only thing we face today that has the power to remove the preconditions of civilized society," he said.
"I am not one of those who is pessimistic about the future of the world, assuming we get off our butts and do something about climate change in a timely fashion."
During Clinton's administration, the global Kyoto Protocol to curb the release of greenhouse gases was created but the Bush administration has rejected it on grounds it will hurt the U.S. economy.
"I think we should be in the Kyoto climate change system," Clinton said. "We can't solve global warming or any other problem in the world you can mention that amounts to a hill of beans by ourselves."
The United States is considered the largest emitter of the "greenhouse gases" blamed for global warming. President George W. Bush has said that global warming may be occurring but its cause is not clear. Generally, it is believed that the burning of fossil fuels is the primary cause of climate change.
If we don't fight terrorism, it won't matter a diddly damn if the termperature is going to be one degree warmer in 3006.

What a vocabulary, huh???
If he doesn't know how to paddle, the Swimmer can teach him.
Yes, a regular JFK! Would someone please tell Bubba and al-Gore that the Kyoto plan DOES NOT WORK? None of the signatories can meet their own goals (unless they want to ride horses and live 18th century style, hey maybe that's the whole idea)!
The only "global warming" that I'm worried about is the warming caused by Islamofascists nukes going off in NYC and DC.
You'll get hit by a car or drown before "global warming" will kill you or your kids.
Sun spots.
He's right. We need to hold a rally protesting global warming.
That'll solve the problem.
There was a scare that we were running out of trees, due to our addiction to railroads, and thus railroad ties, in the 1890s-1910s.
In the 1970s, there was a scare that the Concord and the Space Shuttle exhaust would deplete the ozone layer.
There was a scare that the plastic rings that held together soda cans would choke sea turtles into extinction.
That landfills are filling up and we have no place to put anything.
That genetically modified foods will destroy the ecosphere.
That fertilizer runoff into the ocean causes algae blooms so large that it will suffocate vast areas of the ocean biosphere.
(And too bad Clinton left his brain in Monica's panties)
Oh yeah the Ozone layer, Thanks.

LBJ, who kept his private, must be laughing his ass off.
