Schakowsky: "As I said to my Congressional colleagues, history will not be kind to climate change deniers"

I'm a reluctant constituent of US Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), possibly the most liberal member of the House. You name the lib cause--and you betcha she's for it. Including so-called human-caused global warming. In a statement yesterday, she said this: "As I said to my Congressional colleagues, history will not be kind to climate change deniers."

But there has been a 17-year pause in global warming. If Schakowsky walks a mile east from her Evanston home, she'll see a frozen Lake Michigan. And the Chicago area is enduring its third-coldest and third-snowiest winter ever.

For liberals, climate change is a racket they can use to attack efficient and abundant fossil fuel energy sources and replace them with unproven wind and solar power so they can reward environmentalist campaign donors and crony capitalism operators.
