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.

Almost everything in this science of CAGW is too overstated - in 1979 Stephen Schneider was telling us the CO2 will rise +20% at the end of century and in middle of 21st century "will double".
In fact now we have 2010 and CO2 have risen 13.7% since 1979, 5.5% since 2000. So he overstated the figure - 2.4 times than actually was the reality.
It reminds me the fishermen who show me using their hands how big the fish they caught was to win attention. It is more like an activism than a serious science...

And that quote comes from where?

Taking stuff out of context is a recognised denier trick done by Plimer, Monckton and Lomborg to name but three.

Whatever.

And you remind me of the blind man who cannot recognise that he is touching an elephant because he is only holding the tail.

You may well be an exceptionally gifted particle physicist but unfortunately you seem oblivious of the other multiple strands of evidence which support the fact that global warming is real and already creating demonstrable climate change. Explain otherwise the melting of the cryosphere, changing precipitation patterns, migration of species with the extinction of those which cannot.

Myopia seems rampant around here.

Just testing that you actually watched it.

So. How far off was he? Orders of magnitude?

There was a post of your some while back where you went on about solar output at the start and made many erroneous statements. Firefighting the many here as I am I am afraid that my health went down before I could reply and then the thread vanished into the background. I have not forgotten it and had a reply worked out in thought. Time is pressing on me again now but I'll be back.
