Bill Clinton: Global Warming Bigger Threat Than Terrorism

Ex-president Bill Clinton said Saturday that global warming is a bigger threat to the future of America than terrorism.

Speaking to the graduating class at University of Texas' Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, Clinton insisted:

"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 explained: "It's the only thing we face today that has the power to remove the preconditions of civilized society."

The theme is not a new one for the former president. Last September, he predicted that New York City would eventually be devastated if the U.S. didn't start taking global warming seriously.

"We know if something doesn't happen to slow this warming down, whole island nations in the Pacific will be flooded," he told CNN's Larry King. "We'll lose 50 feet of Manhattan Island in New York within the next 50 years if we don't do something to turn this around."

Still, Clinton said Saturday that he was optimistic that the global warming crisis can be solved, "assuming we get off our butts and do something about climate change in a timely fashion."

"I think we should be in the Kyoto climate change system," Clinton said, without noting that while president, he declined to sign the Kyoto Protocols.

Bill Clinton is bigger threat than "global warming."

And Terrorism

Clinton declined Bin Laden. 3000 innocent Americans dead.Not to mention the USS Cole and other attacks.

Clinton ignored terrorism but had Janet Reno killing Americans in WACO and Ruby Ridge.

Clinton allowed North Korea to build nukes. Ill told Clinton to give him oil or he would build nukes. Clinton gave Ill oil. Ill tried that with Bush and Bush said 'thanks, but no thanks'. Ill then told Bush that he already built some nukes.

Clinton put himself and our country in jeopardy with his infidelity.

Clinton made the largest Communist Country in the world our most favored nation to trade with.

Clinton sold military secrets to China.

And now I suffer from Post Traumatic Bill Clinton Stress Disorder (PTBCSD). I hope to out live him. One day, I am going to piss on his grave.

MUST give conservative RINOs something to think about while she who should not be named is preparing the task of GUTTING AMERICA LIKE A COD FISH.. in 2008..

"This is no surprise coming from somebody who had OBL delivered on a silver platter, but refused."

Spot on. My thought exactly when I read the headline.

[fatnotlazy]

I could some global warming here in the 'burgh. It was in the 40's when I left the house and going down into the 30's tonight.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

If he had said that global warming legislation is a bigger threat than terrorism, I could possibly agree with him. If we had ratified the Kyoto Treaty it could very possibly have shut down entire industries. But Klinton's context here is moronic.

[RoadTest]

"I think a more interesting debate might be, which is a greater threat to America, terrorists or liberals?"

Good point, although how much difference is there between them; One lies and the other swears to it. Or, as in the Mafia, one gives the order and the other pulls the trigger.

But Michael Savage and - was it Cicero? - is right: the enemy within is far more dangerous than any external enemy; therefore the Liberals (Socialist, xenophilic, Tower of Babelers) are the worse danger of the two. They have their slimy hands on the levers of our government.

[Wilhelm Tell]

As disappointed I am with the Republicans, if the Democrats win the White House and the Senate we will see nothing but junk science enviromentalism, the rationing of health care, the gay agenda 24/7, gun control, illegal aliens given more rights than U.S. citizens, restrictions on political bloggers and talk radio, Marxists placed in the Supreme Court, etc. They always go back to certain pet issues and they ignore everything else. This will give the terrorists plenty of undisturbed time to build nuclear and biological weapons.

[Let's Roll]

Yeah, I think that's one grave they're doing to need a serious fence around.

Oh, wait, I forgot ... fences don't work!

Scary

[spyone]

Very well said on all points.
I think Bill Clinton is trying to cut Al Gore off at the pass for the benefit of Hillary.

[spyone]

Yes, he is the patron saint of the cigar industry.

"Why don't you just shut the hell up about things you know nothing about and go back to trying to get laid at every opportunity."
Why, let us rather give him credit, and further encourage him in his worthy endeavor. To show all of us a shining example, he ought to move to the nearest cave to live in it - and to take hillary with him. Such a lifestyle would not be contributing anything to environmental degradation, and all their refuse will stay in the cave. I suspect there might even be some landowners willing to either donate a cave, or rent it for the purpose on purely nominal conditions.

[OldFriend]

LOL....Gore, Clinton, and McCain all singing the same refrain.

[in hoc signo vinces]

What a douche bag.

"It's the only thing we face today that has the power to remove the preconditions of civilized society."

..yeah nut-case Mullahs fall right behind blue dresses as far as the rapist is concerned

Well...global warming does exist to the extent that warming is what causes ice ages to end, and Earth is only 11,000 years out of a couple of million years long cycle of global warming and cooling...Bill knows this, knows nothing can be done about it and shouldn't be, but is convenient to blather about 'cause it's a lefty hotbutton issue.

You're right about Bill's understanding of the terrorist threat: Bubba wouldn't know a terrorist threat if one bit him on the behind, and America's behind got bit quite a few times while Bubba was in office. He did nothing. Except to arm then when we faught on the wrong side in Serbia.

Hey Bill, I believe tertiary syphillis does affect the brain..........................................

[joylyn]

Clinton and ilk are attracted to these big nebulous issues because there's no way to know whether any progress is being made or not. Such issues are a license to expand government and feel self-righteous about it, with no danger that you will ever be held accountable.

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

The sad thing is that he is probably right.

Although I will gt flamed for saying it.

Got my asbestos underpants on.
