ENVIRO CRAZE WATCH:Bill: "We Just Have to Slow Down Our Economy" to Fight Global Warming

Former President Bill Clinton was in Denver, Colorado, stumping for his wife yesterday.In a long, and interesting speech, he characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming this way:[[["We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren."]]]At a time that the nation is worried about a recession is that really the characterization his wife would want him making? "Slow down our economy"?I don't really think there's much debate that, at least initially, a full commitment to reduce greenhouse gases would slow down the economy….So was this a moment of candor?[[[He went on to say that his the U.S.-and those countries that have committed to reducing greenhouse gases-could ultimately increase jobs and raise wages with a good energy plan..]]]So there was something of a contradiction there.Or perhaps he mis-spoke.Or perhaps this characterization was a description of what would happen if there isn't a worldwide effort…I'm not quite certain.You can watch that one clip HERE or you can watch the whole speech at the website of ABC News' great Denver affiliate KMGH by clicking HERE.It's worth watching-he also pushed back against a 9/11 conspiracy theorist heckling him."Everybody knows that global warming is real," Mr. Clinton said, giving a shout-out to Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize, "but we cannot solve it alone.""And maybe America, and Europe, and Japan, and Canada=-he rich counties-would say, 'OK, we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.' We could do that."But if we did that, you know as well as I do, China and India and Indonesia and Vietnam and Mexico and Brazil and the Ukraine, and all the other countries will never agree to stay poor to save the planet for our grandchildren. The only way we can do this is if we get back in the world's fight against global warming and prove it is good economics that we will create more jobs to build a sustainable economy that saves the planet for our children and grandchildren. It is the only way it will work."And guess what? The only places in the world today in rich countries where you have rising wages and declining inequality are places that have generated more jobs than rich countries because they made a commitment we didn't. They got serious about a clean, efficient, green, independent energy future… If you want that in America, if you want the millions of jobs that will come from it, if you would like to see a new energy trust fund to finance solar energy and wind energy and biomass and responsible bio-fuels and electric hybrid plug-in vehicles that will soon get 100 miles a gallon, if you want every facility in this country to be made maximally energy efficient that will create millions and millions and millions of jobs, vote for her. She'll give it to you. She's got the right energy plan."In other Bubba News, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, told the spectacular Kate Snow yesterday that this is her campaign, not Bill's, and told Nightline anchor Cynthia McFadden last night that she can control him.
(Which begs the question-does she want to slow down the economy?)

UPDATE: Not so difficult to predict-the RNC just issued a statement in response to the former President's comment.“Senator Clinton’s campaign now says we must ‘slow down the economy’ to stop global warming," said Alex Conant, RNC Spokesman. "Clinton needs to come back to Earth. Her ‘tax-it, spend-it, regulate-it’ attitude would really bring the economy crashing down. No amount of special effects will hide Clinton’s liberal record.”Sen. Clinton's campaign, meanwhile, has a new TV ad (watch it HERE) that calls her "the person you can depend on to fix the economy and protect our future."

PS:Bill Clinton is all over the place opening his biggo mouth and saying scores of nonsense everywhere in the nation....He IS a mental case...He's stuck in the past and wants to go back to the White House so bad.....So now we should all go into economic recession and be dirt poor to help cut pollution...?yeah....so then in our distress we would lift up our eyes to the ALL POWERFUL GOVERNMENT,which is ultimately the One that knows what is better for us-regular citizens-and would give us what is BEST for us...????These pair-the Clintons-have gone totally mental....I dont like to blog about politics,unless it has some repercusion or importance in the End Times we are living in...BUT I thought this is a sample to show how this madness about global warming is having all the symptoms of a worldwide religion of delusion,where human beings are the great polluters and then the enemies of....ourselves....????Total wackiness.....!!!!!this is what awaits us IF HELLary is elected president....among other things....to bow down before the altar of Mother Earth....and wipe ourselves with tree leaves....I guess.....
Bill should be better off shutting up and going to play golf......
Regarding greenhouse emissions Im planning to keep on breathing...as to add some more distress to Bill's already distressed mind....
As in the days of Noah....
