Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Wednesday that scientific evidence of climate change is getting more and more powerful, comments that come as global warming legislation remains moribund in Congress and Environmental Protection regulations are facing ongoing GOP assaults.
“Over the last couple of years, the dispassionate, hard science evidence has been mounting, increasing,” said Chu, speaking at an energy forum hosted by The New York Times.
Chu noted that “we don’t understand everything” and that in past years scientists have actually underestimated the pace of some changes, including sea level rise.
“It is rising even faster than we thought. The number of violent rainstorms have increased faster than we thought,” he said at the event in New York, adding that though there are “bumps and wiggles” that are not understood, trends are clear in the long term.

trends are clear in the long term.
If things are so clear, why not go to the source of climate change and present your case? Explain just how much of the people’s money you are going to have to confiscate to take care of business.
Oh you Looney Chu
This guy is an excellent soft target.
When I was on vacation in Va. last week I saw some tv ads from a conservative group with Chu testifying that:
“Actually I don’t own a car at this time” and then talking about the need for “European levels of gas pricing”.
Pretty devastating shot when I saw it.
I don’t care if this guy won a Nobel prize, he’s an idiot.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Sea levels up again?
Guess I should go move muh truck up the driveway before bed.
Chu is a braindead, low I.Q., liberal jackass. This isn’t news, it’s anti-America propaganda.
Oh, there’s climate change all right...it will be very chilly in November for liberals.
When all else fails; a total bull headed disregard for the facts is good enough for the MSM. How does 15 years of NO statistically significant “global warming” translate into this type of BS?
Yet another stellar Obama appointee heard from.
Obama has significantly lowered the bar everywhere, for just about everyone.
And yet a significant number of Americans want another four years.
Disappointing, to say the very least.
Speaking of Nobel and the prize... I received this in an email Monday.
Irena Sendler
Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98)
Warsaw, Poland
During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist.
She had an ulterior motive.
Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried.
She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids.
Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.
The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.
During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.
Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi’s broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely.
Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out,
in a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard.
After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the family.
Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.
In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected.
Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.
Later another politician,
Barack Hussein Obama, won for his work as a community organizer for ACORN.
In memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated! Now, more than ever, with Iran , and others, claiming the HOLOCAUST to be ‘a myth’ - iIt’s imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.
The Europeans control the award of the Nobel prizes. Seems like a downward spiral in the last 50 years to one of PC over actual intellect, competence and ability. Look as the latest awards, just disgusting.
Mr. Chu: In case you haven’t noticed, the climate never does anything but change. Ever consider checking the geological record? Of course not.
Hey, Chu, here’s the cure for your mental illness:

Mr Chu:
You need to go down to the ocean and look at the high tide mark....... yup, just like I see, no real change
Excuse me sir, you pants are on fire
I think that's the first true statement this lying sack of sh!t ever said.
Was it an “Obama Peace Prize?”
