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 pretty obvious where this global warming/climate-change/human caused green-house gasses, is going.

Let's just skip it ahead of itself, and see what happens.

Quite simple, if you have a breathing license, and they don't,
they will just have to get one, i guess,
but, hey, they're free, (at the moment)
and renewal is free, next year,
i promise.
...perhaps in the future there may be a small processing fee,
as this thing catches on, so i made sure,
in the fine print, that it could be spread out,
retroactively.

Funny, how everybody wants one of these, for themselves,
...almost like they were already programmed to accept them.

i'm having to print them off, like business cards.

Perhaps it's the prestige of being the first to have one, in your group.

(BTW you're supposed to cover the picture of "Dolly the cloned sheep",
with a picture of yourself.)

So, you still think its a hoax pushed by some new world order do you?

This in spite of the fact, as I have shown time after time, that the science is certain on how an increase in GHGs warms the earth and that real climate change effects are being seen.

Lunk, ask yourself why the polar ice caps are losing mass, as is Greenland and glaciers world wide.

Ask yourself why species are migrating to higher latitudes and altitudes, those that can that is.

Ask yourself why species that cannot migrate are going extinct.

Ask yourself why communities are having more problems as species carrying things like dengue fevour and malaria migrate into their territory and thus expanding their range.

Ask yourself why increased warming is already having a deleterious effect on crop yields? Demonstrating that increasing CO2 is not necessarily beneficial to the ecology of plants.

Ask yourself why the sea levels are rising and the ocean waters becoming more acidic.

Ask yourself why the fossil fuel industry is bankrolling the anti-science propaganda coming from tea-party wannabes.

Ask yourself who is really behind the Fox pundits, and Alex Jones, and their anti-science take on climate change.

Behind these people are those really employing Orwellian tactics:

Americans for Prosperity lies: “We’re not arguing the science of climate change”

Koch Industries Environmental Record

It is the likes of those just mentioned behind your continued ignorance about the real reality. Are you realy in the same camp as Glen Beck?

There are manay places to start learning, many I have pointed out before. Here are some more:

and don't forget Greenman's (aka) Peter Sinclair's 'Climate Crock of the Week' series.

Do you really want to help Cheney's mob gain more control? Remember ignoramus Palin comes with them.
