A Eulogy to Stephen Schneider

Remembering Stephen Schneider

Stephen H Schneider - recent talk

Stephen Schneider in 1979

He fought with courage against the illness that was destroying him and at the same time fending of character assassinations from deniers - the usual suspects, one of whom appears to have again stabbed at him when he is gone - that should tell you what sort of person that attacker is.

And before you come on with quotes from Schneider taken out of context then realize I know what that is about and so will you if you bother to study the material via those links.

It's not even a "problem". It will just mean slightly healthier plants that will in turn produce slightly more oxygen that all living things need. I mean we are talking about an insignificant amount of CO2 here. If CO2 was really a concern, the government would be pushing solars panels for home heating. That alone would reduce human contribution of CO2 to virtually nil. Do we see that happening? No. Why? Because oil sales is the military's life-blood and the psychological arm-twist for war, as in, "Those Arabs are sitting on our oil!". This is why we will see the rebirth of 'peak oil'- to make up for any profits lost in sales by increasing the price per barrel while 'global warming' is pushed which may result in a slight decrease in oil sales.

You are right, i should have wrote apparent problem.

The thing is, we know it's part of the agenda,
the current economic system,
is to be replaced by this carbon trading credit scheme.
i'm sure all the details have already been worked out.

The problem is that the reasons given for this
carbon-credit-swapping-capping-trading economic, replacement, system,
have been found to be more than questionable.


i haven't heard of Stephen Schneider before,
i think he sounded genuinely concerned about the future,
and had the best of intentions.
