Chu spanks Americans who dissent from global warming hysteria
The Energy Secretary is going to take away your car keys or something if you keep acting like unruly “teenage kids” and oppose the cap-and-tax agenda.
Read the whole thing, and note this:
Asked if he expected a town-hall style pushback, Dr. Chu said he was optimistic the public would buy the administration’s arguments that energy efficiency and caps on greenhouse-gas emissions will spark an economic rebound.
“I don’t think so…maybe I’m optimistic, but there’s very little debate” that a new green energy economy will bring economic prosperity, Mr. Chu told reporters.
There’s “very little debate” inside your own administration, Secretary Chu, because dissenters will get crushed.

I got your debate right here! And how dare you say it’s very little!
Once again the Osama Obama administration is trying to take away our freedoms and liberty. Look for more of this on the horizon. I think that Chu makes too much money and has too many shoes and suits. He needs to cut back and live on $5.00/day and donate all of his wardrobe to charity.
As Mr. Chu stands there with fingers in his ears crying LA LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU!
There was more science behind the rationale for the Salem Witch Trials.
We have only begun to be “unruly.” I hope he has a REAL thick skin. He’s going to have to be a turtle by the time we are done.
Cap and tax legislation – passed by Congress after zero debate and discussion and no input from the public. These people are despicable, do not care what we think, and he needs to hear from us.
global warming explained, for the children …

WE SMART GUYS (DEMOCRATS) KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU CHILDREN (SHEEP). JUST SHUT UP, SEND YOUR PAYCHECK TO US, WE’LL GIVE YOU AN ALLOWANCE AND TAKE CARE OF ALL YOUR NEEDS. WE’RE YOUR SUBSTITUTE MOMMY NOW THAT YOU HAVE REACHED MAJORITY, AND YOU NEED US TO ZIP YOUR COAT WHEN YOU PUT YOUR MITTENS ON.
I see that they are already explaining what Chu meant to say. So I guess he didn’t mean to say Unruly teenagers and and political temper tantrums. Mr. Chu needs a timeout!
Real science and the truth be damned – we have an agenda and we’re going to cram it down your throats, because we know better!
We’re going to have a socialist paradise where everyone does what they are told by the gubbermint, for their own good.
2010 and 2012 can’t come quickly enough – and this time, I hope the idiots who voted for Obama and his clowns are paying attention.
I want my country back. I’m not going down without a fight, no matter what the Republicans and RINOs do and don’t do (mostly don’t do).

I hope Dr. Chu comes to El Paso so I can “tea party” him. How can a guy be so educated and still be so stupid?

“GLOBAL WARMING” is C**P of the first order of magnitude. Earth orbit and tilt axis changes are the real causes of the cyclic climate change observed over the last 500,000 years. This is verified by ice core sample data.

But–like they say, “When you educate a fool–all you get is an educated fool!”

I say it everytime some gov’t bootlicking lackey says the debate is over. Consensus is politics, science is reproducible results.
This is why ManBearPig says the debate is over and why lackeys like Dr. Chu will lick his boots. Being a politicians, all they understands is consensus. Since they’re not scientists, he has no comprehension of reproducible results.
No, Dr. Chu is not a real scientist. He knows where his bread is buttered. Michael Crichton knew this would be stumbling block to true science and offered a solution. Read his book State of Fear; the appendix is where he offers the solution.
Ah, Chu.
Cap and trade will result in cap and ball. I wonder which will win. I am betting on the 2nd amendment protections from tyrannical government.
Chu can stick it in his ear . . . or the orifice of his choice. The time will never come when I need any advice from that little puke.
I confess to being a racist.
However, I do not picture Obama as black. I picture him as a little boy dressed in lederhosen standing outside the little German village shouting “Vulf, vulf, vulf.” at the top of his lungs.
Impressive leadership to be sure.
Fertilizer! An economic rebound in China, maybe.
I don’t want the government bringing economic prosperity. The government is not a business.
I want the government to limit its scope to those areas where it was given jurisdiction – secure borders, provide for the common defense.
Other than that, the government is a drain on economic prosperity. Without the private sector, the government has nothing. . . people in the government now have those roles reversed.
People in the government now believe that without government, we wouldn’t be able to tie our shoes. . . or we’d be dead already without government.
We fought the Revolutionary War because of TAXES. You would think smart historians might recognize that fact before they start talking about government control over everything.
Dr. Chu will run back to his handlers in China if it gets too hot for comfort in the USA. Helping to destroy the economy of the United States is a goal of both the UN and China. Why make war – just beat us at our own system of captitalism and make us spend our way into oblivion with Cap N’ Tax.
So Obama’s Energy Nazi is flexing his muscles eh? Dr. Chu, sounds like a cheap Bond movie. I am so tired of hearing this ridiculous crapola. If this administration would stop talking and giving speeches, maybe it could get something done.
Gazundheit, spacey.
Mr. Chu’s comments exemplify the kind of elegant intellectual debate we can expect from the most open administration evaahh.
They’re right about one thing. There is no debate or doubt about Global Warming. It’s a farce. It’s non-sense. BS.
What will it take to get people to wake up and see the M.O. of Obama and the left.
Control…Control…Control…
Banks
Healthcare
Energy
Trade
Speech
Property ownership
Gun ownership
and last but not least…any money you make from the successes of your work.
and that’s just what comes to mind.
These Charlatans, Thieves and Con-Artists need to be run out of town as quickly as possible. Whomever replaces them had better be ready to un-do the damage that’s being done to America.
*I’m still open to debate, but there really is no debate unless you dismiss the facts; It’s the sun, stupid!; Man-made global warming is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind, and CO2 is not, I repeat, not a pollutant.
*Unless the other side allows for the facts to be on the table and discussed, we are just arguing with idiots like the Chuster.
The arrogance of this administration is mind-boggling. The sooner we get rid of these bums, the better.
Those people are legends in their own minds….
Hey did Mr. Chu come over as part of the money deal the Clintons had with Bejing?
Idiots, ALL!
It’s a representative democracy, fool. You’re supposed to do O U R will, not the other way around.
I’d love to get all these left-wing loons together and give them the old “Baby Harp Seal” treatment.
Chu is just ticked off that he lost so much money in carbon credits.
I would say this his comments sound like sedition.
Keep notes on the worst of this administration’s outrages-print out the stories and keep them in a folder. Study them, know them-who, when, where. Know the outrages so when talking to someone on the edge, someone we might convert to NOT vote Left you have the ammunition-the facts, the numbers.
This dingbat Energy Secretary Chu could just be the ticket to counter RINO McCain’s Global Warming hysteria.
Keep notes, keep alert: the sobs are on the march and we need to know where they are every minute. This unruly teenage kid has seen this arrogance of the left for generations now. There well may be people this cartoon character Energy Secretary Chu can cow–I hope there are not too many on this list. Pre Energy Secretary Chu is the fool who wanted us to paint our roofs white to reflect sunlight back into space. The price of tinfoil skyrocketed.
Yes Senator McCain it is hotter in Sedona this August then it was in November- we who have lived here a long time call it SUMMER.
And remember: Rogue Cheddar is the BIG cheese.
Hey, after warming up on health care we’ll all set for a round of protests on cap-and-tax. Remember, there is virtually nothing in the bill that passed the House that will even benefit the environment in the foreseeable future, it will just put a tax-and-oppress hierarchy in place.
Mr. Chu’s cap and trade limit: With six you get eggroll.
A bit over the line that, sorry.
If you have something negative to say about global warming hysteria, just make sure to say it into your elbow lest you infect your neighbor.
Dr. Chu…I pity the foo.
The future is not too goo rooking.
LOL Rogue, traveler & Hangfire.
“I’m rone-ry, so rone-ry……..”
He should be referred to as Foo Man Chu.
yeh-heh-hess! The ticking crock of grobar walming!
Hey, not my fault, the water was cold!
“I was in the pool! I was in the pool!”
- George, after Rachel saw him naked, in “The Hamptons”
“Ordinarily I wouldn’t mind, but…”
“But what?”
“Well, I just got back from swimming in the pool. And the water was cold…”
“Oh, you mean… Shrinkage.”
“Yes. Significant shrinkage.”
“So you feel you were shortchanged.”
“Yes. I mean, if she thinks that’s me, she’s under a complete misapprehension. That was not me, Jerry. That was not me.”
- George and Jerry, in “The Hamptons”
“Do women know about shrinkage?”
“What do you mean, like laundry?”
“No…”
“Like when a man goes swimming… Afterwards…”
“It shrinks?”
“Like a frightened turtle.”
“Why does it shrink?”
“It just does.”
“I don’t know how you guys walk around with those things.”
- George, Elaine and Jerry, in “The Hamptons”
“I think that you think that a certain something is not all that it could be, when, in fact, it is all that it should be… And more!”
“I’m sure it is.”
“Look, you don’t understand. There was shrinkage.”
- George and Jane, in “The Hamptons”
Sadly, there’s “very little debate” about this issue in the MSM, either. I’m not really opposed to green energy if it can be found without train-wrecking the economy, but Mr. Chu has another thing coming if he doesn’t think that Cap And Tax will further inflame the TEA Party supporters.
Chu, Holdren, Browner, Jackson…it’s a shame we can’t get them all booted.
Watch.. This will be a record cold winter, but never mind that. It’s all part of Gorebull Warming.
Mr. Chu needs to get Sol involved in the debate. After all “he” is the heavy hitter here. Dopes.
This must be part of the great world socialist order that these kooks talk about at their yearly Davos and other kook socialist-thinktank-Stonehenge gatherings.
Dr. Chu has a huge inventory of carbon credits to unload. He needs to start his going out of business sale. Cap and Tax will never pass Congress. If it does, Democrats are out of business for a couple of decades. They have to whine about evil conservatives to appease the wackos on the left.
Frankly, I find this man unworthy of the very air he breathes.
We need to keep a running tally of the number of former ‘Bambi supporters that have quietly let others know they are not only concerned about their guy but are wondering how they can help stop him, along with his arrogant cronies.

“Thousands from E. Ky. attend rally against cap and trade”
Chris Ritchie, Editor
Holden, W. Va.
Thousand of people turned out at an old surface mine site near Holen, West Virginia on Labor Day for a free concert and rally against the federal cap and trade bill.
The bill, which coal supporters say will drive up the cost to generate electricity by placing a tax on companies who operate coal fired generating plants, seeks to cut greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable energy.
Several estimates have noted the numbers of people who attended the rally, which was paid for by Massey Energy. Some estimates put the number of people at the rally at 70,000 while others were upwards of 100,000. But whatever the actual number, thousands of the overall crowd were made up of residents of Eastern Kentucky concerned about the cap and trade bill, said Coal Mining Our Future representative Haven King….Monday’s rally included music from Hank Williams Jr. and Ted Nugent.”
Something tells me that mr. fu man chu would be hesitant to spank any one in that crowd!
I picked up that newspaper last week while in Kentucky with dad during his reunion. My uncle, who works as a mechanic in the mines, told me that last month alone 45 new mining permits were denied in Perry County, Kentucky.
Dissent is patriotic,,,so Chu on that!
I have something that Chu can chew on!
Lets face it: the debate is over. Obama and his allies are just the same old incompetent, arrogant liberal ideologues that will gladly destroy this country trying to make it into a socialist paradise. This has been widely peer reviewed and accepted by sane, intelligent realists the world over so why even discuss it, unless your one of those deniers?
On the way back from Ketucky we got caught behind traffic that was backed up for twenty miles behind a truck hauling a 700-ton block of solid coal from West Virginia…on it’s way to Mount Rushmore.
please don’t ban me.
Chew Chu would have much better luck with selling his junk science with the ignorants of Kenya.
As it is, libtards force ignorant Africans into believing that if they actually built a power plant it would destroy the world. Heaven forbid, if an African nation wanted to manufacture DDT. So how do they do this, simple they give money to the stooges at the top of these countries.

At this point it is blindingly obvious that this whole global warming nonsense is just a religious cult mania.
And it is a particularly dismal religious cult mania in which we must all do various forms of penance and make sacrifices of our cars, lightbulbs, industries, money, whatever to appease the powers of nature — who they in un-self-conscious comic absurdity like to call “mother earth”.
I have no idea if Chewie is a true believer or simply going along with the pretense to advance his useless career.
What all those nuts fail to realize that most of us Americans either subscribe to much more cheerful religions or simply don’t believe at all.
Most of our religions promote the idea that if you do right things will go better for you right where you are and even if they don’t you get to go someplace better after you’re dead — which is a fairly optimistic outlook.
Some of us go for the approach that happiness is all in your mind anyway, and that external circumstances aren’t all that important — also fairly optimistic.
And some of us are not believers in anything that we can’t observe directly, but even so we tend to believe that by and large that the universe is fundamentally hospitable to man and his works, and unlikely to be very disturbed by anything we do short of lighting off lots of really big nukes — also a pretty optimistic outlook.
None of us go in for the “we must sacrifice to avert doom from above” stuff — which is both very ancient and very stupid.
How do we tell them that they are religious nuts and their religion sucks?
Cicerokid: Big Michelle Obama fist bump for you! Wife is ROFLOL.
My sincere hope is in that the not-too-distant future, the next Republican president makes it a point to completely defund Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (home of Mr. Chu and others of his ilk), and move the money to the nearby Lawrence Livermore Laboratory to restart the Reliable Replacement Warhead program, along with an updated neutron warhead program.
Dr. AhChu is right. There is no debate. The gooberment has seen to that.
It’s 32 above here in SW Alaska at 11pm on 9/22. Winters are as cold as ever here, and this one looks like it might be even colder! I would invite some global warming creeps to come and spend a winter here on the Alagnak River and then tell me about Gorebull Warming (Only problem being we might not get along too well). Hey Chu, come and freeze your tail off, you might learn something.
Yep, we are letting our systems get old. Sadly we let 1950’s science fiction movies set policy.
Just got around to reading the story. I’ll submit my comment for the one or two of you who might still be around to read it.
Per the same article, these are the words which were, according to Leistikow, twisted and taken out of context:
Chu also says that the cost of electricity should reflect the use of it.
So if you want to stave off the effects of global warming, you should pay more, and those who use green power should get rewarded with a cheaper rate.
According to Chu, people should be informed on how to use more electricity at off-peak times and less at peak times. So do the wash in your sleep, and no TV after you get home from work. Got it? (I’m waiting for my stock in the Yankee Candle Co. to skyrocket. Just a matter of time.)
In the meantime, the EPA will team with the PTO to let your kids know how to conserve energy by traveling to 6,000 schools to spread the message. Really. That’s in the article Michelle linked to. But their footprints ain’t made of carbon—they’re made of gold, baby. Sweet, sweet gold.
Also, big business is bad, unless you’re in the international green energy business.
What about all those folks who get their ‘heat’ and ‘light’ paid for?
Why do they get to keep their thermostats set at 80 degrees in the winter & I’m forced to wear my coat to bed?
You mean to tell me that contributing to the greater good doesn’t give the cockles of your heart a feeling that keeps you warm and fuzzy at night?
C02—–it’s because I wear a fur coat to bed.
That explains the whole thing…
Am now dispatching an animal rights activist bearing a can of paint to your house, spacey. She should be arriving shortly.
I am finding the whole climate change and global warming debate to be very interesting. The EU is very pushy about telling us to reduce CO2 emissions but in a recent trip through southern Germany from the stacks of firewood everywhere, I don’t mean little stacks here and there, big stacks all over small towns, it appears that wood is the primary heat source. I have also heard(from Italians in Italy) that Italy offers tax incentives to people buying and using wood burning heaters.
This confuses me, I may be wrong but I was under the impression that burning wood released more CO2 into the atmosphere than any other form of energy.
LOL—-I will never fear anyone in showbiz. Especially one who thinks a muppet outfit (or of themselves) as relevant.
