Bill Clinton: Let’s do climate change to reduce social inequality

by The Right Scoop

Bill Clinton did an interview with the New York Times back in 2007, and when asked about the challenge of communicating and legislating climate change here in the US, Clinton responded:

“The real challenge we face in the political realm is making this a voting issue. We now have a big majority of people who think that climate change is real. We now have a big majority of people who favor some action on it. This is a voting issue in Europe – can it be made a voting issue in America? I think the answer is yes because we now know enough to know that the climate changes are already underway and they can’t be good. And we know enough now to know that there are things we can do that will generate economic opportunity and reduce social inequality. And that can’t be bad!”
