Clinton: Global "warming" more of a threat than terrorism

From the disgraced and formerly disbarred ex-president, Bubba Clinton:

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.
…
“It’s the only thing we face today that has the power to remove the preconditions of civilized society,” he said.
…
During Clinton’s administration, the global Kyoto Protocol to curb the release of greenhouse gases was created but the Bush administration has rejected it on grounds it will hurt the U.S. economy.

A few observations:

1. Clearly, Bubba believes that global “warming” is more of a threat than terrorism. After all, his tenure was glaringly devoid of any real measures to fight terrorism, and we began cleaning up his mess on Sept. 11, 2001. But hey…he did help craft the Kyoto Treaty, which was rejected by the Senate 95-0. For those of you on the left, that means that the same Senate Democrats who bitch about Bush not signing Kyoto are getting angry at him for backing their votes! Why, how dare he agree with them!

2. Given Bubba’s shady background and past, as well as his reputation for tagging bus station skanks, I would have advised him against using the expression “get off butts.” Just seems like it would have been wise to pick another phrase, huh?

3. By “more partners and fewer enemies”, Bubba is talking about accepting Chinese campaign cash and selling the ChiComs our nuclear technology.

4. By “institutionalized cooperation”, Bubba is either talking about kissing Kofi Annan’s ass, letting Maddy Not-bright give the NorKoms a nuclear reactor because they promised (“Scouts honor”, we’re told) they wouldn’t use it to build nuclear weapons, or both. How odd that the NorKoms lied! Who knew that you couldn’t trust a maniacal commie dictator?

5. “Before there is catastrophic damage from global warming”? I’m still waiting on that Ice Age we were promised back in the 1970′s! Are we supposed to freeze or fry? I get them mixed up every few decades or so!

6. “It‘s the only thing we face today that has the power to remove the preconditions of civilized society,” he said. The “it” he’s talking about would be interpreted by normal Americans as Islamofascist terrorism. That he is instead talking about a dubious condition called global “warming” shows just how far removed from reality he was while being diddled by interns and groupies for eight years.

7. Read the last paragraph in the blockquote above: “During Clinton’s administration, the global Kyoto Protocol to curb the release of greenhouse gases was created but the Bush administration has rejected it on grounds it will hurt the U.S. economy.” The Senate rejected Kyoto 95-0 in 1997, nearly four years before Bush was inaugurated…but it was Bush that rejected Kyoto? What did he do, convince the U.S. Senate to reject it while he was still governor of Texas? Man, he’s more brilliant and powerful than you lefties give him credit for then, huh? LOL!
