The Reference Frame: Steven Chu, a new energy secretary

When it comes to climate change, Steven Chu is a nutcase just like everyone else who could have been considered by Obama. If you ask me whether I am surprised that the new energy secretary is going to be an alarmist nutcase, the answer is No, I am not surprised. ;-) Still, I wish America that he will be forced to realize that this insane postmodern religion is not the bulk of things he needs to do his job.

The Reference Frame: Hippies want another IPCC to control the world's economy

The IPCC has been one of the worst scandals in the history of the political manipulation of science. It is predominantly composed out of opportunists - who were attracted by an increasing funding of the pseudoscientific discipline of "climate change" - and by far-left political hacks who dream about abolishing the market economy and the industrial society in the world.

It is composed out of dishonest jerks such as Michael Mann who always prefer to expand their lies and frauds by another order of magnitude over admitting them and fixing them. It is led by people like Rajendra Pachauri who just said in the Guardian:

I refuse to accept that a few papers are in any way going to influence the long-term projections the IPCC has come up with.

In other words, Pachauri is saying that he is and his comrades are fanatical blinded religious zealots who will pay no attention to any new evidence and who will allow no progress in science - just like the Inquisition did not - until someone will remove them. (Thanks, Willie.)

The IPCC is a body whose predictions have been universally falsified by the evidence (they predicted a huge warming in the last 10 years, there's been no warming at all), an institution that has played a key role in developing the tumor in the society that has swallowed roughly 2% of the world's economy it covers by this moment. They have planned the prices of the carbon indulgences but these prices unexpectedly for them dropped by 3 orders of magnitude at some moment. These people are dangerous imbeciles. Make no mistake about it: the IPCC is a gigantic piece of collective biological waste, a group of power-thirsty sub-par pseudoscientists, and the main exponents of this organization should be put in jail.

Obama's green-team picks signal shift for energy policy | National | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

The selection of a scientist, rather than a Washington insider, to head the Energy Department suggests that in the Obama administration energy policy will be directed out of the White House, rather than from the Energy Department's Forrestal Building headquarters.
...
With a budget of more than $23 billion and more than 100,000 employees and contractors, the Energy Department is an unwieldy hodgepodge, with responsibilities ranging from clean-up of the nation's nuclear weapons sites to forecasting gasoline prices.
