What Did Bill Clinton Mean By "We Just Have to Slow Down Our Economy" to Fight Global Warming?

Jennifer Parker - January 31, 2008 - 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...

    getting better, worse or staying the same. Its a mixed bag at best and what’s most apparent is how so much of the small amount of progress that has been made is being erased by the growth in the world economy, population or both. (Makes me think of the comment Bill Clinton made a week or so ago in Denver about needing to slow down our economy.) The report also includes a valuable bibliography of articles, reports, books, blogs and headlines from 2007. It is presumed that much of it went into helping create this report, and some will continue

    t put on your political scientist’s cap when you are running for president because the voters you dissect may feel disrespected. Mayhill Fowler was there and she heard that. Instead of turning it into a blaring news report with scare quotes, Cooper left it as a simple blog post. It was anything but a traditional approach to news. Indeed, the explosive quotes from Obama appeared very late in the story and were not broken out at the top nor particularly highlighted (though they did shape

    The end-goal must be adoption of a low-consumption, low-growth, high-equity development model that results in an improvement in people's welfare, a better quality of life for all, and greater democratic control of production. That paragraph reminds us of this: 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:

    Bill Clinton Accused of Violating Taboo

    that even mentioning questioning growth in a discarded hypothetical is grounds for punishment in the political arena. Here's how it goes. Step 1: Mr. Clinton (whom I otherwise greatly admire but who is definitely not a person who violates the taboo) spoke as follows: "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 -- the rich counties -- would say, 'OK, we just

    and did a switch after about three minutes of blackout. The most interesting item to come out of IT was a quote from Bill Clinton. We found it on the internet at an abc news site. So far as we know, even though this was said in Denver in January, it made none of the local papers: 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….

    have been deriding business for making profits since they first donned their official Marxist caps and even want to penalize such activity with higher taxes. The crowning touch was added by Billary’s sometime spouse declaring that we need to slow down the economy to help fight [the incredible hoax of] man made global warming. Let’s see: People fearing a recession, stock market falling, housing slumping…right Bill. Slow it down! And you’ll be advising Hillary if she becomes President?
