NEW YORK, New York, May 16, 2007 (ENS) - Former President Bill Clinton today announced the creation of a $5 billion global effort to fight global warming by retrofitting existing buildings with more energy efficient products, thereby reducing the emission of greenhouse gases.

A project of the Clinton Climate Initiative, the program brings together four of the world's largest energy service companies, five of the world's largest banks, and 15 of the world's largest cities to reduce energy consumption in existing buildings.

President Clinton announced the Energy Efficiency Building Retrofit Program at the C40 Large Cities Climate Summit now underway in New York. Mayors from across the United States and around the world are at the summit to strategize on climate change issues.

They’d like us to live in caves while the Clintons build a retirement palace in the Dominican Republic.

Precisement, mon ami. Le Corbusier laid down in the 20's, I think it was, that the proletarian family would need, oh, 500 sq. ft., maybe 600, to live in an acceptable manner. Acceptable to whom? To Maitre Le Corbusier, of course! And all his Bauhaus friends and students......some of whom eventually realized the Corbusier vision in vast, ennobling constructions called Pruett-Igoe and Cabrini Green and the Iberville Housing Project. Visions of the socialist future. No need for proletarian cars, they could walk to the bus stop, they could walk to shopping, they could walk everywhere -- Shank's mare, the poor man's servant, toujours, mais oui?

Ah, you'll learn to love le socialisme.....

"Climate change is a global problem that requires local action," said Clinton. "The businesses, banks and cities partnering with my foundation are addressing the issue of global warming because it's the right thing to do, but also because it's good for their bottom line." "They're going to save money, make money, create jobs and have a tremendous collective impact on climate change all at once," he said.

Famous last words of a perjurer.
