Alarmist Stephen H. Schneider to speak

Climate "expert" to deliver Bonser Distinguished Lecture at Indiana University

On Monday (Oct. 13), Schneider will answer questions following a screening of "The 11th Hour," a documentary film about climate change. The film is narrated by actor Leonardo DiCaprio and includes Schneider as one of several featured experts. The screening starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, 114 E. Kirkwood Ave. in downtown Bloomington.

On Tuesday (Oct. 14), Schneider will deliver a lecture titled "Does U.S. Climate Policy Really Matter?" at 7:30 p.m. in the Whittenberger Auditorium at the Indiana Memorial Union, 900 E. Seventh St. Both events are free and open to the public. At the film screening, audience members arriving via public transportation will receive free popcorn. [But unless it's popped with solar and/or wind power, wouldn't it make more "sense" to just chew the raw kernels?]

Schneider is the Melvin and Joan Lane professor of Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies in the Department of Biological Sciences at Stanford University. He is a senior fellow at the Center for Environmental Sciences and Policy in Stanford's Institute for International Studies and has been actively involved with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Rafael Reuveny, professor of public and environmental affairs at IU Bloomington, said Schneider is "one of the topmost experts in the world" on the subject of climate change.

"His advice and insight have been widely sought after by governments and academics, and he is regularly invited to speak on this subject," Reuveny said. "Professor Schneider takes a scientific, evidence-based approach to climate change. We can count on his lecture to provide the most up-to-date facts about climate change and to coldly evaluate its causes and its possible effects in the future."

Remember the words of from National Center for Atmospheric Research (NOAA) climate researcher and global warming action promoter, Steven Schneider:

We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.

Schneider supports "wise" use of snowdances at U.S. Ski Areas

STANFORD, Calif., June 29 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "I think it is wonderful that ski areas have been inviting the tribes back to ski and snowboard, which inspired them this winter to share their earth-honoring prayers and snowdances for all U.S. Ski Areas. It would be wise to further explore and expand such cross-fertilization," said Stanford Climatologist Dr. Stephen Schneider, 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Winner as part of the Intergovernmental Panel for Change Climate (IPCC) team, who has been working with the Native Voices Foundation.
