Clinton turns to climate change:
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1 — The Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit organization that has focused on combating AIDS, poverty and childhood obesity, will turn its attention to greenhouse gases, former President Bill Clinton said here Tuesday.
Mr. Clinton announced his new initiative at the University of California, Los Angeles, hours after the California Environmental Protection Agency released a report predicting that the state would become hotter and drier by the end of the century.
I don’t know how much real financial clout the Clinton Foundation has (total assets of around $155mil, per the 2005 annual report [PDF]), but Clinton’s got a hell of a bully pulpit. People listen when he speaks.
