Thhe climate warming scientist who once wrote about "a new ice age"

 

This article describes a revealing book by a famous climate crisis promoter, Stephen Schneider (joint part winner of 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore). It is an early publication, dating from the 1970s and it has a lot of lessons for modern crisis boosters. Most of them are a warning on fashions in doomography, but there is one good one: “Consensus is a bad way to do science.”

 

This book gives informative background to the climate science debate: https://thinkscotland.org/2024/12/when-the-end-of-the-world-was-nigh/

 

Enjoy!
