Bill Clinton: "We Just Have to Slow Down Our Economy" to Fight Global Warming

Readers will recall that we've warned time and again that global warming alarmist's first target is the U.S. economy.

Here's more proof in a report from ABC's Jake Tapper:

January 31, 2008 9:26 AM

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?

Save the planet so our grandchildren can live in poverty? Is that the deal? Clinton went on to talk about how other countries would have to join us in this effort, but do we really believe that nation's like China, Brazil and Mexico will all of a sudden begin start living up to the international agreements they sign?

And of course we know that GOP candidate McCain is also an adherent to the global baloney frenzy.

McCain has frequently said that "even if we are wrong" about global warming,(McCain video on that topic) we will be leaving our children a cleaner world . Yep... even if McCain is wrong our children will be living in poverty?

No thanks!
