OBAMA'S ENERGY SECRETARY REPEATS AGW-HURRICANE CANARD

NYT/AP:

U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu is warning that if countries don't do something about climate change, ''some island states will simply disappear.'' The energy secretary is traveling with President Barack Obama to the two-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago for a summit of the Western Hemisphere's democracies. ...

Chu said that rising temperatures lead to more damaging hurricanes and rising oceans. He said those results are scary.

THIS GUY IS MERELY REPEATING LEFT-WING BS. (LIKE "WE LOST IRAQ." AND "MEXICAN GANGS ARMED BY US GUN-SHOPS." AND "DEREGULATION CAUSED FINANCIAL MELTDOWN.")

• FACT: THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN GLOBAL-WRMING AND HURRICANE FREQUENCY OR STRENGTH.

• IN FACT, RIGHT NOW HURRICANE FREQUENCY IS HISTORICALLY LOW.

• EVEN NOAA HAS NOTED SAME.

UPDATE: MORE PROOF AGW IS BS: ANTARCTIC ICE GROWING NOT SHRINKING; VIA HOT AIR. FULL REPORT HERE. EXCERPT:

ICE is expanding in much of Antarctica, contrary to the widespread public belief that global warming is melting the continental ice cap.

The results of ice-core drilling and sea ice monitoring indicate there is no large-scale melting of ice over most of Antarctica, although experts are concerned at ice losses on the continent's western coast.
