CNN

So, if you let the Democrats and Liberals know you don't agree with them, they resort to name-calling,... marvelous.
(Where's the "CHANGE"?)

Bill Clinton broadens plans to save planet?!? What a ridiculous headline. Bill Clinton cannot save the planet. Bill Clinton can't even save 1/10,000 of the planet. To have any plans to save the planet is outrageous. And then, to broaden those plans? Unconscionable. Here is an appropriate headline for you, CNN:

"Bill Clinton partners with Arkansas to fight climate change"

It's not perfect and I'm sure there are better options, but at least it is somewhat reasonable. Maybe people like sensational headlines, but your headlines should seem at least partially plausible.

Understand, this is not a partisan bashing of Bill Clinton and his "plans"; it is a non-partisan bashing of bad headlines, bad journalism, and bad taste.

There is nothing more important than stopping global warming,I am glad both Clinton and Gore are taking on these global problems.Fossil fuel is number one producer of carbon monoxide,but Scientist agree that the 2nd largest producer of methane gas in the world are cows belching,also decaying vegetation in rice patty fields,the oceans additionally contribute to the production of methane gas in our atmosphere.Active volcanoes ,there are more than 500 in the world at this moment,emit carbon monoxide,into our atmosphere daily,causing global warming also.Maybe the worst pollutant is nitrogen, which is man made ammonia,used for fertilizing our crops,is 300 times worse than carbon monoxide,it destroys the ozone,and is smog.Hopefully Clinton and Gore have a plan to save us from global warming !

I agree with you KIM.

Joyce, Joyce, Joyce,

You have most certainly been spending too much time reading spin at cnn.com. Broaden your knowledge by getting your news and information from a variety of sources, and you will become a better person for it. I would suggest newsmax.com and foxnews.com.

what a set of ignorant people on the CNN Blogs, CNN by far has the most ingnorant bloggers that I have ever encountered, no wonder our country is in such a mess partly because of dumb politicians and partly because of ignorant constituants, and lets not forget plain old Karma, Goodness Gracious, what type of society have we become,we are raising a bunch of ignorant young people.

`Get a life you haters.

MIKE and all you haters ,get a life.

I concur wholeheartedly with Joyce -

Ritebob, you"re *rite*! The sky *is* falling! Thanks to Bush's total neglect of environmental issues, caring less about endangered species - ironically - which we're well on our way of becoming sooner than later due global warming, on top of it, his executive order to drill in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge.

The catastrophes we continue to create for ourselves have to come to a halt. As McCain said, Obama will be "our" president. Shall we sit on our haunches and complain? What will *YOU* do to make things better for the next person?

Peace-out,
AEKDBKEN

"Global warming" is not happening - look at the severity of the recent winters, to include 2008-2009. Look at the past century's data. "GW" has been disputed by many intelligent scientists from around the globe, but the guy who "invented" the Internet has more credibility than them. What a fraud! And it is being pushed by environmentalist who have totally different agendas than saving the planet. Wake up, Americans! Your President-elect said he would "skyrocket" energy costs and using "GW" is how he and his energy team will do it. Look out for $4-5.00/gallon gas in the next 1-2 years.

Thank YOU President Clinton, you are and will always be known as a GREAT PRESIDENT!

Bill Clinton has more than made up for his past transgressions.

We LOVE BILL CLINTON.........he will prove to be the best President of his time.

In 2012, our planet is supposed to align with some types of universe, so we'll see. Will earth rumble and crumble with more quakes? Who knows?

I'm a Christian and I believe God has put an expiration date on US. I love Mother Nature, but it's time has come. I like to watch JVIM show on Sunday TV and this is their link http://www.jvim.com/. He interprets the Bible and I'm planning to buy his book where he dissected Revelation. Anyway, in one of the books, and in one of the wrath, the sun's light will become UNBEARABLE (scorching heat). I dont know, but it's time.

Bill Clinton = Best President Ever.

i'm sorry bill but i can't see you fixing the planet.

Hey Clinton, go somewhere and retire!!!!! You don't enough to America!!! Didn't want you when you were in office and don't want you now!!!

I will tell you what he has done Joyce... he has given more money to fight Aids in Africa that any other politician in history.

He has kept terrorist from hitting this great country again so you don't have to worry about your children being attacked in thier school, mall, movie theater, etc..

Before the incoming pres no African American had ever been put very high on the presidential cabinet. Bush made Colin Powell and Condelisa Rice Secretary of State. A huge step towards helping race relations in this country.

And as far as Obama not taxing those making less than 250K per year look at his newest budget proposal that just came out. 500-700 billion over 2 years. Are you really stupid enough to believe that the rice in this country only are going to have their taxes raised to cover that. You need to wake up because you are in FANTASY LAND.

And as far as you bashing Bush goes I don't agree with much he has done but he has done some good. I would like to see you do any better .

Bill Clinton works for what he believes in and everyone should do likewise. We have no choice but to work on this problem for the future.

Wow - sure are a lot of "SAVIOURS" in the Democratic Party!

Mike – I think there is something wrong with your sentences – can't understand what you're trying to say. Can you please clarify what it is?

WHAT A JOKE. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN IT FOR BILLY-BOY.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LET POLITICIANS DEAL WITH SCIENCE. OF ALL PLACES TO LIKE AR-KANSAS TO SOLVE THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS. THE FIRST MISTAKE IS TO COMPARE THIS STATE WITH ANYWHERE URBAN AREAS IN THIS WORLD. REAL THINKERS AND DOERS GO WHERE THE PROBLEM ARE, NOT TRYING TO COMPARE APPLES AND ORANGES.

Global warming hoax would make P.T. Barnum laugh out loud! This fraudulent "science" is only being waged by the politicians in order to pick the taxpayers pockets!

Bill Clinton is looking for only two things, and they are money for his own pockets and the blow jobs he apparently does not get at home.

Hey, Bill am with you all the way,............we miss your presidency.

Hey, Bill am with you all the day........, we miss your presidency

There is no way to "fight climate change." All we can do as a species is identify the natural constraints under which we live and adjust our activities accordingly. The climate has always been and will always be changing. The question is, can the human species adapt quickly enough? Reducing emissions is important. Not cutting down so many carbon-absorbing trees is important. Keeping our population under control is important. And the Clintons cannot do this for us. They (and Al Gore) can only show us the science that climatologists have been trying to warn us about for decades. Climate change in and of itself is not a crisis – our inability to act on it is. As long as we refuse to examine our actions, we will simply disappear in much the same way as all of the ancient societies that came before us did. At that point, paying a few more bucks in taxes won't seem like such a big sacrifice to make.

Clinton Foundation is taking the right step. New Leaf America is working on this too and it is the right approach. http://www.newleafamerica.com

Yes , just like his FREE TRADE FRAUD ...he though save american jobs to compete to slave wages..??

save or sell it just like he sell our jobs to china?? US politicians nothing different with ALL chicago way...lie and cheat

Global warming is a natrual process the earth goes through. The Great Lakes were formed by retreating ice caps. The human race has helped this one along. My guess is that we've brought it in earlier than it would have happened naturally and maybe made it worse than it would have been naturally. Anything we can do to undo the damage we've done is a good thing, but no matter what we do, we're looking at some tough ecological times ahead.

Will we stop global warming? Nope.
Will there be anything we can do to stop the next ice age? Nope.
We're just riders on this spinning rock, victims to the whims of Mother Nature and Father Time. We pollute the land, sea and air. One day, Mother Nature is going to get really angry and decide to come back at us. After all, it's not nice to fool with Mother Nature.

Please Repubs, take a good hard look at your President. What has Bush done really? And you folks have the audacity to try and change his image for the better.

Riteabidbob, I'm pretty sure Obama will be fiscally responsible and will make good, responsible use of the tax payer's money. Not waste it on useless wars and favor to the privelage few.

If you've seen any of the debates, you know for sure that Obama will do his best not to tax you any higher than now, in fact he will work towards lowering taxes to those that make less than 250K a year. That's most of us. OK?

Continuing to believe the lies of your party is continuing to choose to be blind. Look where that got us? Do you seriously believe that other President's are responsible for the economic mess and our foreign relations debacle? ALL OF THESE HAPPENED UNDER BUSH'S WATCH FOR 8 YEARS!

Enough already. I don't care what your party affiliation is, Obama must succeed in getting us back on track or WE ALL FAIL. You and your children and grand children will inherit Bush's failed policies and will pay for it.

Like Obama or not, he needs to succeed in fixing all these problems for OUR sake.

Yes, farmers created huge SANDSTORMS in the 40's and it took the government to step in to study the cause and effect to Mother Nature. We then taught our farmers how to care for the land. Be respectful of Mother Nature.

Do U want to live in a world that looks like the Moon? No plants. No animals. No birds. No fishes. Do U want to live in a desert? What comes around, goes around. We are all interconnected.

Somehow the words "Clinton" and "broad(er)" go together..

If he realy wanted to help greenhouse gas and global warming he and Al Gore should keep their mouths shut.

That man is a hero.

Be nice to Mother Nature. In the 30's, farmers didnt pay attention to this fragile earth. By depleting the soil, farmers created HUGE SANDSTORMS.

I hope that every one will be able to help with greenhouse gas emmissions, but in my current situation I depend on the construction buisness ,and buisness is at a stand still, thanks to MR. BUSH ( I think ) I'm not sure anymore. I've lost faith in american politics. I'm ready to move to the woods and live off of the land and burn wood for heat I'm sure that will help Greenhouse Gas Emmissions! I seriously doubt any politition, other than Senator Robert Bird, would even Know what that is like.I hope that Bill Will focus on things that address the people who supported him... Help our Economy. I could care less about the Greenhouse Gases when I can't aford to buy my family Christmas presents

Well I can tell the first two comments were made by hybrid idiots. Question.
What have either of you done for your country, state, city, or even community?
Worthless is a word you should be getting use to by now.

I'm fighting against climate change too. I just turned the thermostat up to 72. Seems to be working, guess I'm setting an example for the rest of the world.

Arkansas is also the state where Clinton created jobs. Putting curbs and gutters on country roads to just create jobs fooled no one. The press should have been on top of that one and never were.

How is he going to do it? When you use more and more Electronics every year... You waste power on Security that has never been done before.... This Planet is an Electro- Magnet.....

Ready for the Clintobama administration?

BIll is going to save the planet?? May God be with us all.

Include Texas because here in Houston the oil refineries emit more than their share of greenhouse gases.

Pledging to engage in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is completely different from actually DOING it. Promises, promises. In my opinion actions speak louder than words.

I think Bill should broaden plans to save America from it's current situation... At this rate, the Planet will be here much longer than America will.

Poor Bill! Totally upstaged by Al Gore, Hillary and a new, charismatic, Democratic president. He has to do something to get back in the limelight. Looks like he's just going to pilfer old Al's cause to do it.

If he doesn't know what the definition of is, is, then how can he save the planet.

THE SKY IS FALLING!!! THS SKY IS FALLING!!!

"Please I must tax you and tell you how to live your life because I am an expert...the debate is over...and we all know taxing you will solve everything"".

SAVE the USA first, Mr. President .... then you can think about the world.

First Gore and now Clinton ; Lord help us !!!

Ken Blackewll, would not get my vote. I remember how he helped The Republicans steal the election in 2004. This is poetic justice. Democrats remember this face and go out and vote with a vengeance. Keep this unsavory character from holding any political office. Go democrats,, do not feel comfortable because we are in the White House.
There is much more to do, The Republicans have already started to plot, as to how to derail Obama's plan for fixing the economy. We have to make sure that there are enough Democrats in both the House and Senate to get things done. So please!!! PLEASE!!! go out and vote. With God all things are possible to those who believe.

Clinton along with Gore are bilking people about the climate change using junk science. Not long long ago other idiots were screaming about an ice age, Go figure!

Anything that can be done to help Arkansas, my home state, remain The Natural State, I'm all for it. Thanks, Mister Bill.

Git-er-done

The only thing wrong with our palncet is the gas that is emmited everytime someone crooked opens theri mouth a lot of hot air escapes. If someone could come up with a way to harness all that hot air we would not need to buy or make fuel, we would have enought gas fot a very long time.

Even a great President will suffer the limitation of being only one person.

As a couple, as a family, they gain signifigant strengths.

Foundations are meant for building upon, foundations focus moral truth, but foundations are only a beginning; a true beginning which only gains the finish after a great amount of planning.

So,

Organizations bring order, Organizations can also focus moral truth, but the price fixing masters of organization... OPEC, now they get organized profit.

How can the organizations re-order your's and many other foundations which are lack real plans.

What must come first: problem? challenge? Question?

Life; and life gives us our first standards of living...

We are so lucky to have Bill Clinton turning his attention to climate change right here in the USA.

We are so lucky to have Bill Clinton!

I hope that Washington, D.C. is on that list as it is the "emisssion" capital of the world with all that political "hot air".

Is slick WIllie trying to win a Nobel prize like his buddy Gore did?

Arkansas?

You want a REAL challenge Billy boy,,, go tell Los Angeles, New York City or Chicago they need to clean up there act and get them to go along with your energy reduction plan.
You go tell those Hollywood folks and Big Apple Wall Street big shots to cut back on all the energy they soak up during a red carpet affair.
Hey, why do you not tell all of these big fancy pro sports arenas to stop using so much power?
Ohhhh, thats right, big money can do what they want with no regard to the enviroment.
You want a real challenge Billy boy,,, take that on,,, not Arkansas

Bill, why not try to save yourself and just leave!!

I think there are few things that are more important than stopping global warming,I am glad both Clinton and Gore are taking on these global problems.Scientist agree that the 2nd largest producer of methane gas in the world are cows belching,also rice patty fields,the oceans additionally contribute to the production of methane gas in our atmosphere.Active volcanoes ,there are more than 500 in the world at this moment,emit carbon monoxide,into our atmosphere daily,causing global warming also.Maybe the worst pollutant is nitrogen, which is man made ammonia,used for fertilizing our crops,is 300 times worse than carbon monoxide,it destroys the ozone,and is smog.Hopefully Clinton and Gore have a plan to save us from global warming !

Ironic, given that this state also disbarred him for prejury. The hypocrisy of liberals know no bounds.

What's his plan to save the planet, shoot Hillary?

The Clinton/Gore team was the greatest Presidency this country has ever seen. Too bad the presidency was stolen from Al Gore.
Had Al Gore been elected, we would have had a Green that was less dependent on foreign oil and probably would not have needed to waste our military on an unneceessary war. Godspeed Bill Clinton, Al Gore and now Barack Obama

I do not want to appear on this blog but this story is just about unreadable. "Partner" and "retrofit" what in hell does that mean?

I'm just glad my good friend Willie Bob is keeping an active life style and not encumbering himself with a steady girl friend. Everything Willie ever did was a blow for freedom!

With a broader focus: Ultra-conservatism, like the ‘trickle down’ concept, has much the same characteristics as found in illegal pyramid schemes. They are equal in that only a few people really benefit, that they are driven by self-interests, are infected with greed and dishonesty, are sold with attraction to people’s self-interests and greed, and depend on taking advantage of the majority. The fraud they can perpetrate results in the collapse of the infected systems (i.e., corporate corruption, Wall Street, mortgage industry, auto industry, religious extremism,,,) and can eventually even bring down the total economy (what we are close to today). Without the regulations, enforcement, controls, checks and balances needed to keep conservative methodology from being the run-away service of the powerful few, greed, dishonesty and self-indulgence naturally take over. As long as the focus is on total deregulation, completely open and fair-trade markets and on the unchecked pursuit of benefit for Special Interests and a select few, without real protection, consideration and concern for the majority, the natural result will be what we are experiencing today. This criticism is not liberal thinking advocating a large ‘tax and spend’ government giving to a dependent population or advocating protectionism but rather is pragmatism, is simply reality demanding moderation and a centrist thinking that actually benefits everyone. The other choice is to continue down the road we have been on, with only very costly temporary delays.

He is wright Arkansas is polutatet.Lets see who is gone make more money now Gore or Clinton?In 21 century it is fashionable expresidents or politicians instead writting books they try to be more usefull in ...... business.

Looks like Slick Willie is going to try to buy himself a Nobel Peace Prize like his hero Jimmy the Chicken Carter! Sure is spreading the fertilizer like Carter did..................

ohh yeahhhhhhh
go after all the interns doing ecological work..
we know you bill and hillary

you are both so corrupt does not matter how you call it, name it or cover it..

we know you well

Good luck trying to save the planet, while the neanderthal idiots of the G.O.P. are busy trying to protect Big Business from any restrictions or responsibilities what-so-ever in destroying Earth in the unholy name of Capatalism. The biggest obstacle to cleaning up the poisins that are destroying this planet reside in the good olde U.S. of A.! Of course anybody who stands in the way is a communist,tree hugging, lunatic out to destroy the American (cough/cough; gasp/gasp) way of life. See you at the grave yards boys!!!

What's he going to do? Pollinate all the virgin flowers...

Can't wait to hear the negative comments from the Hooverites (GOP) about Clinton and his efforts to address the climate crisis and energy consumption reduction.

Maybe the Republicans will ban Arkansas from its coveted red state status.

Jesse Jackson, Jr. has been given the royal political screw job.

I am so mad about this! He is a good guy and should be Illinois' next senator, taking Obama's seat.

Obama, you need to speak out there!

I've always liked Bill Clinton, and that's great from him to try to do something for the planet.
Carry on Bill!

Good for you Mr President. Please form a partnership with all who will listen. I just watched "An Inconvenient Truth" once again and I was reminded of what little time we have unless we act globally. I hope you, president-elect Obama, Mr Gore and others will be able to start a momentum that can't be stopped.

It's amazing, isn't it ? Just like the first Bush, once they've been in & out of office, and ehen their term is up, they immediately go into trying to help 3rd world countries......Instead of trying to help the good 'ol u.s.of a........where we could use the help in our economy & evrything else that is suffering, because of war....

Larry C.
Houston, Texas

What did you and your drip do this time?

Thanks President Clinton for your continuing support of America..

WHAT??? YOU HAVE GOTTEN TO BE KIDDING US BILL.. LET AL GORE AND OTHER ENVIROMENTLISTS HANDLE THIS, LIKE THE SAYING GOES YOU ARE A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT, WHERE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME REGARDING GLOBAL WARMING?? GO BACK TO YOUR FOUNDATION AND STAY THERE.. OR BETTER YET GO BACK TO NEW YORK.. WHO REALLY CARES AT THIS POINT WHAT YOU DO.?? PLEASE SPARE US YOUR CONCERN YOU ARE A TOO BIT PHONY!!! GRANFORCHANGE IN WISCONSIN

What's he going to do, live on the moon and run his Harlem office from there? He should also take Gore with him. The pollution level should decrease shortly thereafter...

This is the type of work the Clinton Foundation has been doing all along, yet, guarantee you, the Republican noise machine will be on this and other blogs saying what a louse Clinton is. They've criticized Carter too, an Internationally acclaimed philanthropist and a Christian who walks the walk. Meanwhile, what did Nixon, Reagan, and Bush do after their presidencies? They retired to their mansions and counted their money. Bravo Mr. Clinton and Mr. Carter, for showing us what real leadership looks like in this troubled world.

At the core of the environmental crisis is the raising and killing of cows. the fastest way to balance the planet and bring good health back to the people is to promote non violence to animals especially cows and for people to become vegetarians.

Screw the planet. All minds, efforts and funds should be focused on fixing this miserable economy.
Concentrate on one huge problem first and stop spreading talent thin.
Clinton left us in the $$$ black....stop wasting his talent.
Get rid of Bush – get rid of Obama (up to his neck in Illinois scandal)
and let's start over.

Always in the limelight, these Clintons. Serious Clinton fatigue.

Diesel engines for autos get 50 mile a gallon. That could be an option because you have to allow trucks desiel engines.

Why not start with making Detroit make only hydrogen, natural gas
and electrical engines for autos.

way to go ,Bill.

Come on already, save the planet? I believe we should do all we can to transition to alternative energy but please stop with this melodramatic hype. Bill Clinton is not a God and I'm sure there is an element of selfish motive and self promotion in his announcement. Hopefully not as blatant and hypocritical as Al Gore.

Bill Clinton... Peddler of a discredited science. Al Gore must be proud.

Both Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton are tenacious in their service.

We need Bill Clinton's voice in this way.

OBama+ HRC/Bill = success

Jumping aboard the man-made, global warming, weaken America band wagon seems to be in fashion for has been, now irrelevant, don't care about the truth politicians.

That should provide some jobs for those people too. Good Idea.

Clintons does wonderful work for us and the whole planet. Thank you, Mr. President.

Great initiative President Clinton. Yes I do appreciate the practical approach, starting where the rubber bits the road. As we face the many crises ahead, it is key that we do not take our eyes away from the one crisis i.e. the climate crisis that can change the response to any and all of future crises. One point though, it is clear that the construction industry is badly hit by the bad economy, as you work in Arkansas, consider any help to the construction industry by the Governor of Arkansas tied in with energy efficient buildings. This will not only help revive the industry it will also save our planet

Of course, this depends on what your definition of the word "save" is.
