      This is the same steven chu who is probably the most brilliant member of the obama cabinet and won a nobel prize in physics on something that most of us couldnt get through the first sentence of - cooling and trapping of atoms with laser light. In factm i bet no one at CPAC could get through this thesis without their brain exploding. What a crock.

      Moron -

      "Chu is known for his research in cooling and trapping of atoms with laser light, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Chu

      And your qualifications to pass judgement on Chu's scientific ability would be what, exactly?

      Here's Moron's "qualifications":

      "Morano served as communications director for the Republicans on the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Morano commenced work with the committee under Senator James Inhofe, who was majority chairman of the committee until January 2007 and is now minority ranking member. In December 2006 Morano launched a blog on the committee's website that largely promotes the views of climate change skeptics.

      Morano is a former journalist with Cybercast News Service (CNS), which is owned by the conservative Media Research Center. CNS and Morano were the first source in May 2004 of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth claims against John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election and in January 2006 of similar smears against Vietnam war veteran John Murtha.

      Morano was "previously known as Rush Limbaugh's 'Man in Washington,' as reporter and producer for the Rush Limbaugh Television Show, as well as a former correspondent and producer for American Investigator, the nationally syndicated TV newsmagazine."

      This award isn't worth much. It may make a good paperweight or a doorstop.

        I agree. I think that if these people are truly worried that scientist aren't doing their job correctly, they should all pledge to have weather stations in their back yard (since that is presumably where the global warming isn't happening) and take down data and submit it to NOAA. Any one can do this, maybe then they will learn something about science and the scientific process, and along the way we'll get more weather stations and more data points to feed into the models.

      I think Morano might be on to something. He and his other pals want the globe to emulate this key:

      Thank you Marc Morano and congrats on a well deserved award. We must do everything we can to global warming scam. No Cap and Trade for the warmists and laugh at the bogus claims. Keep on spreading the truth about global warming scam. American people are behind you, Mr. Morano. People like you are standing up to the ClimateGate scientists and the IPCC. People everywhere are waking up and becoming aware to the global warming scam as shown by the recent polling. More work need to be done because 26% still believes in this scam.

      Once again, Mr. Morano, you're a hero to everyone!

      Whatever you think of Morano there are two points you should keep in mind.

      He is very, very good at what he does. Admit it even if you don't like it!

      He is on the side of the angels and isn't trying to subjugate his people under the heel of the Commie UN.
