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."

Well, he and Al E. Gore could start by shutting their mouths and inserting their rectal recycling tubes to serve as an example for the rest of us.
Clinton needs to keep off other people's butts.
That's an understatement.
Monica's butt against anything will warm it.
Right... Clinton should be sitting on his butt in a jail somewhere sharing a cell with the Beast.
U. N. Ambassador of Junk Science. He can travel the world on America's behalf, and quietly get laid in every port.
Unlike terrorists with atom bombs?
Somehow, civilizations have risen and fallen in cold and warm climes. Climate might remove the conditions for a rich society, but says nothing about it being civilized or not.
What a load of BS.
Yo, BJ! The nation has more important worries.
Is *Bubba pimping for Algore's propaganda film? Sure sounds like it...
OHHHHH...now that would be the perfect "sentence" for both of them...having to share the same cell for YEARS!!
What has Clinton EVER said that ISN'T BS?
What a low-life.
More dangerous than terrorism. Hmm. Lessee, if Iran explodes a nuclear bomb, how many BTU's will THAT put into the Ozone Layer.
WHat a freaking putz.
He obviously needs a monica.
I get so confused....hearing Algore and now Clinton goind around acting like "global warming" is going to kill my children and grandchildren...
BUT, when discussing Bush's war on terrorists that could blow up my grandchildren's school TOMORROW, they act like he is a warmonger...and wasting time, money, lives, etc.
What universe are they in??
Yeah, even for him. He usually lies better than that.
Keep talking Bill ..
