Clinton says must "get off our butts" to stop warming Sat May 20, 2006 04:09 PM ET

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."

I don't get it...but from Clinton's perspective, I guess he doesn't worry too much about Iran's nuke capability, since he was instrumental in helping them with their nuke program.
Na, I won't say it.
Some of these idiot reporters that love to question and criticize every single thing that President Bush does...
need to start pinning Hillary about her stance on some things..like for instance with Bill and algore going around trying to start a panic over global warming...
would she back signing onto the Kyoto Treaty...which I believe her husband did NOT sign...but, of course, that was then...
Off our butts and on our knees.
Bill Clinton is right, for a change. I got off my butt and went outside. Lo and behold, I stopped warming.
"Clinton says we 'must get off our butts' . . .
after rolling out of his neighbors' bed at 11:00 AM.
. . and it isn't in America.
"global warming is a greater threat to the future than terrorism"
Did you hear Global Warming hijacked a plane and slammed it into a building full of people in New York? And after that moved to Iran where it is on the brink of developing nuclear weapons to take over the world and make everyone follow its own peculiar brand of Islam? Oh I guess not.
GO to China and preach...Klinton.
*SPIT-TAKE*
Blech! Did he say what I think he said? Sorry, Bubba, but I find Al-Zarqawi to be a tad more threatening than the Tooth Fairy.
Hillary has stances? I thought her entire platform consisted of "we can do better."
That won't work here in New Orleans. It's hot outside. I'm doing my part to stop warming by sipping on an ice-cold beer outside a coffee shop.
That was ManBearPig.
He does. But unlike noted statesman and philosopher Sir Mix-a-Lot, he can lie.
The only thing that would sound better than Former President Bill Clinton would be "never was president Bill Clinton.
BTW perhaps this punk can convince his buddies in Red China to get with the program. He won't ever convince me.
See to your own carbon footprint first, Bubba.
Suddenly he things Al Gore is setting the trend on this topic?
Pure scam. Purely crimminal. Hang im Barney.
So while Slick Willie was in office, he couldnt get a Democrat controlled Senate to pass Kyoto and he didn't want to upset the Arabs by taking out Osama when he had the chance.
Please tell me people aren't stupid enough to lsten to this guy anymore. PLEASE!!!!
