Stephen Schneider: Climate Science and Media Distortion - YouTube
As Schneider is claiming that in the 1970s "we" knew that carbon dioxide would overheat the Earth, the following image is shown: look, it says "Climatic Change" there, and that portion of a graph appears to show rising temperatures!
However, there is a big, big, big problem with using this image: It's from a famous Newsweek article called "The Cooling World", from April 28, 1975 (PDF here). Note that when you are allowed to see the entire graph (below), it shows plunging temperatures since the 1940s. Note that when you see the entire article, it contains a climate change "solution" that involves "melting the arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot".
Credit for this propaganda video evidently goes to Climate One. Their email address is listed as ClimateOne@commonwealthclub.org.
This video was screened before a live audience by Climate One of the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on Dec 6, 2011 as the introduction to an event honoring Stephen Schneider and presenting an award in his name to Richard Alley, Professor of Geosciences and Associate of the EMS Environment Institute.At the 15-second mark, Schneider says "How did we know in the 1970s pretty much what would happen, it was theory then...and since then, nature's been cooperating with theory, but we kind of knew what was going to happen..."
Also partially screened by Ben Santer at the 2011 AGU (American Geophysicists Union) Conference held in San Francisco

This is one clear example that the warmists know that they are misleading their readers. They intentionally inverted the conclusion of the 1970 article to further their agenda of enshrining both their green philosophy and their leaders.
For shame.
Gotta love the positive use of either government funds or charity - the web address of .org indicates either govt or charity funding.
