Bill Clinton: Global Warming Bigger Threat Than Terrorism
NewsMax ^ | 5/21/06 | NewsMax

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.

Well BJ, global warming DOESN'T EVEN EXIST, but if it did you still did nothing about it.

Terrorism is the greatest threat our nation has faced in six decades, but again, you did nothing about that.

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.

Still supporting ALgore's run for the Presidency. That ought to make Hilliary happy.

I guess that's why he never focused on either of them.

Our system of government is broken when traitorous sociopaths like this can get elected president. Who cares what he thinks about anything?

Well, he learned a lot of new uses for cigars.

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

IF Terrorism: THEN I or my loved ones could get killed.

IF Global Warning: THEN I can grow Beefsteak Hybrid tomatoes rather than Early Girl Hybrids.

Shrug.

My son just graduated from Tulane. I was there to see GHW Bush and Bill give the address. Bill blamed the tsunami on global warming. An earthquake caused by global warming. The heck with science.

He's the India Rubber Man of polemics; some of his rhetorical contortions defy belief. Of course, that depends on what is meant by the term "man".

His wife learned everything she knows from him, and vice versa.

The demons from Dogpatch - may they fail at everything.

'A timely fashion'...like...when it actually starts happening?

With this scenario, if I was Gore I would be really, really afraid. Sounds like a backdoor to another Clinton presidency.

'"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."'

Point 1. He upset homos and lesbos with that statement.
Point 2. Maybe he was addressing all the good-looking females (?).
