January '07: Warmist Steven Schneider credits Katrina and the "Gore movie" for a building "social tipping phemenona [sic]"

Email 925

The social tipping phemenona I mentioned seem to be building: from Katrina, Gore movie, high roller corporate support for policy growing fast and media covering less of the crazies is all contributing to positive movement towards some policy at aggregate level--whether it is more than band-aid remains to be seen, but we are finally moving.
...
PS I agree that palpable biophysical events in one's backyard help with social tipping--like earlier snowmelt in CA Sierra got the attention of the State Hydrologist and farmers. But why then isn't stronger hurricanes and heat waves in the Gulf doing the same in Texas? Ideology of the beholder, perhaps?...

This is the same angry fuming (late) Stephen Schneider who in the 1970s was just as loudly predicting that next Ice Age was imminent. With his passing, the AGW religion has lost one of its highest priests.
