US Energy Secretary Chu on climate change

This week to the LA Times:

"I don't think the American public has gripped in its gut what could happen,"

"We're looking at a scenario where there's no more agriculture in California. I don't actually see how they can keep their cities going."

Chu said, up to 90% of the Sierra snowpack could disappear, all but eliminating a natural storage system for water vital to agriculture.

"I'm hoping that the American people will wake up."
