Great point, read the rest from at the Washington Examiner:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who flies around on private planes so as to tell larger numbers of people how they must live their lives in order to save the planet, wrote a column last year on the lack of winter weather in Washington, D.C.
RFK Jr, 2008:  Recently arrived residents in the northern suburbs, accustomed to today's anemic winters, might find it astonishing to learn that there were once ski runs on Ballantrae Hill in McLean, with a rope tow and local ski club. Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don't own a sled.  http://www.robertfkennedyjr.com/articles/2008_sep_Los_angeles_times.html

Sheryl Crow, John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston, Truie Styler (wife of Sting), Chris Martin (of Coldplay), Barack Obama (flying a St. Louis chef flown 850 miles to make pizza at the White House), Al Gore  are not only eco-crusaders, but all are eco-hypocrits with things like multiple houses, fleets of private jets, and fleets of cars.

Read the article for the details.

The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act. The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is. Dr. Chu, September 21, 2009

When government runs and funds sciences, the sciences are lost.  No more scientific inquiry.  Too much time licking the boots of their masters.  Remember there can be no scientific inquiry when the government controls you.  Government scientist is a contradiction in terms.  Let's make a few points clear here:

1. You first, Dr Chu.  Then Al Gore, Prince Charles and all the other blow-hards running around in private jets, multiple huge houses (and so many some Members of Congress "forget" about them). You try it first.

2. It is none of your business what we do, this was founded as a free country with strict Constitutional limits of the powers of government.  Dr. Steven Chu needs to read his American History before he continues to spout fascist-socialist nonsense.

3. Fascism, statism and socialism are not what we want here.

4. Double-speak, thought police, might be acceptable in a totalitarian regime, but not in the United States.

5. Look at sunspots.  Read this [Climate modeling], and this [Al Gore's house], and this [each leader at U.N. Climate Summit has convoy of vehicles].  "Do as I say, not as I do," seems to be the motto.

We are not children, Dr. Chu.  We are a country of free individuals and taking orders from crack-pots is not in the plan.

Dr. Steven Chu needs to start with examining his history, his facts, and the Constitution.  After he is done all that, come back and talk to us again.  But the next time Dr. Steven Chu speaks to or about the American people, Chu better do it as equals.  An elitist, authoritarian, imperial set of rulers in Washington?  Is that what you want?

Climate change is very real.  Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes.

Detroit News interview, August 10, 2009, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.) - appointed to the Senate Energy Committee

A few points:

1. Senator, if you are REALLY concerned, STOP FLYING.  Take the first step Senator!  Show us all that you are no hypocrite.

2. There has been no increase in number Hurricanes (see Hurricane.com).  Some scientists even argue that IF global warming were real, the number of hurricanes could drop.  Since 2004 the following 4 seasons have been quite mild.  And see what the NOAA said yesterday here: http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2009/20090811_tropical.html

3. 2009 has been a mild year for Tornados.  (See, e.g. http://www.examiner.com/x-219-Denver-Weather-Examiner~y2009m4d14-2009-tornado-season-deadly-but-below-average-thus-far).

4. Tens of thousands of scientists disagree about whether global warming is real (see http://www.petitionproject.org/ and see on the US Senate site, http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.SenateReport with more scientists doubting than who wrote the original UN report.).

The citizens of Michigan have elected a real WINNER in Senator Debbie Stabenow!  Talk about being out of touch with reality, "feeling" global warming from an airplane.

I "feel" that Senator Debbie Stabenow has a sub-room temperature (pre-Global Warming room temperature) IQ.  Senator Stabenow, if you are really representing Michigan, look at the number of jobs Cap and Trade (aka Cap and Tax) will cost your state.

It is still NOT too late to contact their offices (home not DC as of right now).

Nobody in this country realizes that cap-and-trade is a tax -- and it's a great big one, Rep. John Dingell (D-Michigan) said Friday, April 24, 2009, 11:41am ET

Actually, a ton of people realized that it was a BIG TAX.  At least 48% of the country knows it which is why we've been calling it "Cap and Tax" all along.
