Bill Clinton Calls for Economic Slowdown to Fight Global Warming

Bill Clinton, speaking in Denver yesterday, called for industrialized nations to slow down their economies in order to cut back on greenhouse emissions. Clinton said this needs to be done in order to save the planet for our children and grandchildren.

Mr. Clinton also said that strategy would increase jobs and increase income after the initial slowdown. He also theorized that if countries such as China, Mexico, and India did not slow down their economies for environmental gain would remain poor.

Electing Mrs. Clinton, according to her husband, "will create millions and millions and millions of jobs" and an energy trust to finance bio-mass fuels and 100 mile a gallon electric hybrid plug-in cars.
