Loopy Energy Secretary Chu Warns World Is at a Tipping Point On Climate Change

Arctic sea ice growth finished the year in 2008 at the same level as 1979.
The oceans have been cooling since 2003.
Sea ice is growing at the fastest pace on record.
Greenland’s glaciers are stabilizing.
There are growing fears of a coming freeze worse than the ice age.
Alaskan Sea Glaciers are advancing for the first time in 250 years.
And, for the second straight year the Earth is, in fact, cooling… not warming.

This US Climate Map October 2007-November 2008 showed that temperatures were well below normal throughout the US in 2008.

But, back here at home… Junk Scientist and US Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today that the world is at a tipping point on climate change.
The BBC interviewed this loon:

US Energy Secretary Steven Chu says the US will not be able to cut greenhouse emissions as much as it should due to domestic political opposition.

Prof Chu told BBC News he feared the world might be heading towards a tipping point on climate change.

The House of Representatives is debating a climate and energy bill but even if it passes it may be rejected by senators, many of whom are funded by the energy industry.

Prof Chu is a Nobel prize-winning physicist and a world expert on clean energy. But he said it was impossible to ignore political reality.

“With each successive year the news on climate change has not been good and there’s a growing sensation that the world and the US in particular has to get moving,” he said.

“As someone very concerned about climate I want to be as aggressive as possible but I also want to get started. And if we say we want something much more aggressive on the early timescales that would draw considerable opposition and that would delay the process for several years.

The US energy secretary said that awareness of climate tipping points had increased greatly only in the past five years. He added: “But if I am going to say we need to do much, much better I am afraid the US won’t get started.”

Chu is hoping democrats will move their cap and trade tax through committee tomorrow.
The democrat’s energy tax will obliterate the economy and likely cost $700 to $1,400 dollars per family per year.

Meanwhile… The author of the $646 billion national energy tax, Henry Waxman, admitted today that he does not know what is in his bill.

More… The Needs of Many put together a comprehensive list disproving man-made global warming.
