Al Fin: Cycles Within Cycles: The Unquiet Climate

Trust the Obama / Pelosi / Boxer reich to attempt to completely overturn the US economy on the basis of "climate change". Trust the arrogant unthinking fools to strip the country of its ability to provide vital energy and power to homes, industries, and commercial enterprises. Trust them to bring about destructive change, built upon ignorance and deception. They possess nothing else.

Will Andy Revkin Tee Off on Chu? « Climate Audit

I don't like talking about political appointees, but Chu is supposed to be a "science" adviser.

If you don't know the answer to something, it's a good idea not to pretend that you do. Take a look at Chu's appearance before the House Energy and Commerce Committee url (h/t reader Gene)

Barton must think that Chu is a total idiot.

Chu was there as a scientist. Barton asked Chu how the oil and gas got to the Alaska North- wasn't it warmer when the organics were laid down?

Chu rose to the bait, foolishly denying that it was warmer up north in the Cretaceous, attributing the presence of oil and gas in Alaska to continental drift. It "drifted up there".

Nope.

Spot the Hockey Stick #n « Climate Audit

In a presentation on April 7, 2009, Steven Chu uses the Graybill strip-bark bristlecone chronology (aka the Mann hockey stick) in a presentation. See page 7 here. (h/t to reader Gene).

The Chu graphic even uses Mann's overlay of temperatures, opportunistically ending at the high point of 1998.

I wonder how Chu does at identifying the purpose of aluminum tubes.
