Stephen H. Schneider has died

[strogoff]

I saw a couple of hours ago in Twitter and thought it was a joke, but not:

Stephen Schneider, biology professor, dies at 65

I really was pursuing another incendiary statements from him yesterday:

Blogosphere may lead to civil war

I have to read more...

Oh, wow! I'm off to read more as well...

I was going to ask "Did he die of heat stroke" but decided not to as that would be in very bad taste. Mind you, with those alarmist statements, maybe the stress of all that fear of global warming, worrying about the gulf stream flipping, CO2 causing civil war, add that to a rough airplane landing and a 65 year old man could very well die of a heart attack.

Very sad for his family, but it doesn't change how wrong he was about everything to do with climate!

Quote:In recent years, Schneider battled with mantle cell lymphoma, a rare form of cancer, eventually publishing a book on his medical journey. Of both cancer and of the climate, he said, “In both cases, there was no room to be wrong.”

No room to be wrong?

That is absurd since he survived both.

He had a heart attack,that is why it was surprising.

It is always a sad event and my condolences for his family.

My condolences for his family too

Still cannot find where I read that, as a consecuence of the outcome of the last inquiries, the group of NAS´ alarmists has been receiving lately more threatening e-mails than usual. I´m sure that this issue will soar next days: skeptics provoked Schneider a heart attack.

Obviously my heartfelt condolences to his family.
Otherwise, no comment.

Some of it is true,but partly because of their unethical behavior and scientifically stupid conclusions,that have not all come to pass.

People are learning about the lies and deceptions as propagated over the years by the alarmist scientists and their enabelors,the media and the environmentalists.And they are reacting emotionally and stupidly.

Alarmists have long been blaming us for stalling or stopping climate change initiaves.Yet they also claim there are so few of us who are skeptics in the first place.

So what else is new?

They are being normal at being irrational.

I agree with you, SST. I hate violence and cannot feel...comfortable with any death, but I hate more unfair play, which is what the alarmist team is all about. It´s a great taboo talking badly about someone who just has passed, but I´ll always remember Schneider for his latest feat: lending his name to force publishing in the PNAS a not peer reviewed paper cointaining a black list. That´s a perfect example of his communication expertise, so praised now all over the Internet.

There are very few negative comments so far, almost only eulogies and elegies. Funny to find Dr. Abraham (Monckton´s "friend") at Real Climate:

Steve,

May your courage be a standard for us all.

John

I guess Monckton must have been moderated.
