The Takeaway: A Conversation with Secretary of Energy Steven Chu

[Chu] ...if the United States says this is where the new wealth creation will be, this is where we re-capture high-quality high-tech manufacturing, this is our future and, by the way, it’s also going to save the world.

Katherine Lanpher: I would like your 90-second pitch on just how eminent the boiling point is with our climate.

Steven Chu: This is something that’s, 90 seconds, how eminent it is, the worst effects of what we’ve done today won’t be felt for 100 years. It’s very hard for the American public to understand this. If we continue doing what we’re doing, many climate models are saying there’s a 50/50 chance, if we continue as business as usual, we will be four to six degrees warmer, Celcius. That doesn’t sound like much. Let me remind you, where we are today, where we were in the ice age, it was only five to six degrees Centigrade colder. Very different world. Canada, United States down in Ohio to Pennsylvania, covered year-round in ice. A world four to six degrees Centigrade warmer will also be a very, very different world.

Just When You Thought Global Warming Couldn’t Get More Stupid, In Walks John Kerry | The Daily Instigator

Of all the ridiculous arguments in support of global warming legislation, this one has to be the most idiotic. John Kerry is leading a panel to determine how global warming threatens national security. What did they find? Well, that’s a little tough to pin down. All we get is vague and absurd warnings like “Crop devastation, melting glaciers, water shortages and displaced people will drag the military into conflict…” So – you guessed it – we must act now “to save the world!” If we don’t, these “climate conflicts” will melt the rainbows and make bunnies cry.
