Stephen Schneider: Climate Science and Media Distortion

Stephen Henry Schneider (February 11, 1945 -- July 19, 2010) was Professor of Environmental Biology and Global Change at Stanford University, a Co-Director at the Center for Environment Science and Policy of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and a Senior Fellow in the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment. Schneider served as a consultant to federal agencies and White House staff in the Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations.

His research included modeling of the atmosphere, climate change, and "the relationship of biological systems to global climate change." Schneider was the founder and editor of the journal Climatic Change and authored or co-authored over 450 scientific papers and other publications. He was a Coordinating Lead Author in Working Group II IPCC TAR and was engaged as a co-anchor of the Key Vulnerabilities Cross-Cutting Theme for the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) at the time of his death. During the 1980s, Schneider emerged as a leading public advocate of sharp reductions of greenhouse gas emissions to combat global warming.

Wake up people... this is happening.

He’s just speaking in terms of those who try to obfuscate what their political or economical agendas are about.

Brought to you by climate change scientists and the left-wing media since 1979. Have the water levels risen since then? The temperature gone up by more than 0.5 degrees? How long will it be happening? Until all private enterprise is curtailed by the socialists saving us from doomsday?

[NanoSparkNanoCore]

People when will you wake up? This film shows footage from 1979. In 1979 they were already sounding alarm bells. 2013, almost 40 years later. Meanwhile the water levels have not risen, the temperature is fine. Technology invented largely by private people has vastly improved the way we use the environment. The biggest problem today (as always) is the destruction of the rain forest. We used to worry about this before Al Gore came along! Now they worry about Carbon Footprints. Wake up people!

I cant stop watching this. 

[petegiant]

That is a fair description of your comment.

[9thgate]

May our grandchildren forgive us. 

[John Carraway]

Absurd and ridiculous.

[bagelzzzzzallday]

It's a consensus when entire organizations that have a large research impact and high credibility are fully supporting its science.

may I please download this video to repost it, please let us all download it to repost to show many people the truth because this video is amazing thumbs up so plomomedia can see this
