Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Energy Leader

Detroit, Mich. - Michigan just experienced its coldest July on record; global temperatures haven't risen in more than a decade; Great Lakes water levels have resumed their 30-year cyclical rise (contrary to a decade of media scare stories that they were drying up due to global warming), and polls show that climate change doesn't even make a list of Michigan voters' top-ten concerns.

Yet in an interview with the Detroit News Monday, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.) - recently appointed to the Senate Energy Committee - made clear that fighting the climate crisis is her top priority.

"Climate change is very real," she confessed as she embraced cap and trade's massive tax increase on Michigan industry - at the same time claiming, against all the evidence, that it would not lead to an increase in manufacturing costs or energy prices. "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."

And there are sea monsters in Lake Michigan. I can feel them when I'm boating.

WTH???? "We are paying the price in more storms"? Didn't they say that the amount of storms has been down?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I think for the last several years there have been fewer hurricanes.

Well, she obviously is a sort of an expert in conserving energy, I have to give her that.

Don't let silly things like facts get in the way of rhetoric.

And for the record, this constituent of hers gave her an earful when I heard about this.

From Wiki:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Atlantic_hurricane_season

This year is no exception, but it won't make the main stream media.

Quote
The season started early with the formation of Tropical Depression One on May 28; however for second consecutive year, no storms formed in June.

For the first time since 2000, no storms formed in July either. Similarly, no named storms formed before July 31, the first time since 2004.[1]
They are being pretty quiet about the Katrina anniversary this year.

Odd, no?

Was she part of that fat, dumb and lazy study...was she in the control group?

Well, you know, you have to have something to measure "stupid" against.

Actually, that was the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, but yes, I remember that well. Lake Erie was declared biologically dead at one point. Musta been all the turds floating around....
