You and I both lived through the "coming ace age" scare. It's a shame you don't remember.
He remembers. The cult is too important to allow something like fact and reality slip in.
So, what is this all about?
"To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and little mention of any doubts one might have. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective, and being honest."
- Leading greenhouse advocate, Dr Stephen Schneider
( in interview for "Discover" magazine, Oct 1989)
So, Schneider is lying, and it is he that Clinton relies on for global warming predictions.
But, what about Schneider? IsnÂ’t he a reputable climatologist? Why should we not trust him to know best? One answer involves his position on global warming during the 70Â’s.
"There is a finite possibility that a serious worldwide ***cooling*** could befall the Earth within the next 100 years."
(emphasis added)
“However, the effect on surface temperature of an increase in the aerosol content of the atmosphere is found to be quite significant. An increase by a factor of 4 in the equilibrium dust concentration in the global atmosphere, which cannot be ruled out as a possibility within the next century, could decrease the mean surface temperature by as much as 3.5 deg. K. If sustained over a period of several years, such a temperature decrease could be sufficient to trigger an ice age.” (1971)
Hmmm, Dr. Schneider appears to be a bit confused. Maybe he simply examined the data and adjusted his theory.
“Looking at every bump and wiggle of the record is a waste of time - it's like trying to figure out the probability of a pair of dice by looking at the individual rolls. You've got to look at averages. So, I don't set very much store in looking at the direct evidence.“ (1991)
Since he professes disdain for evidence, maybe he simply takes a position which insures publicity.
Not to single Schneider out, those in the global warming scam are universally lacking in professional credibility. Note another “great” greenhouse gas doomsayer, Dr John Gribbin.
In the 70’s he put forth the theory that in 1982 the alignment of Jupiter would destroy Los Angeles. This is the great “California falling into the sea” hoax that was so popular at the time.
"A remarkable chain of evidence, ...points to 1982 as the year in which the Los Angeles region of the San Andreas fault will be subjected to the most massive earthquake unknown in the populated regions of the earth in this century. ... in 1982 when the Moon is in the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars and with the other seven planets of the solar system, Los Angeles will be destroyed."
GribbinÂ’s book, "The Jupiter Effect" was the basis of this hoax. Now he has returned as a heavyweight of the global warming fraud.
But wait, the scientific community fully support the theory, after all, a man of no less integrity than Bill Clinton has declared that Global warming is an irrefutable fact.
