It's astonishing. They interviewed this guy (Schneider) about why he was a "coming ice age" advocate in the 70s and a global warming guy now. They had to use a paid actor to imitate him because of the legal action.
Certainly any reasonable person can change their mind as new evidence is gathered, but in the case of globalwarmercoolers, they are not driven by evidence but the political winds. Global cooling was cool in the 70’s but it went out of style for global warming. I have no doubt global cooling will return when its political time has come again.
Global warming and cooling is like the fancy double-brested suit - falls in and out of style. Now the Global Climate Change is the like always-stylish single-brested suit - never goes out of style.
This prof is a nut job and I hope that the director of this movie depicts him as such.
Here’s a guy who has probably never had a real job in his life. Depending upon those who actually MAKE money for the buildings he teaches in and the equipment he uses and relying on Big Brother for grants, flakes and parasites like Schneider MUST create dire warnings about SOMETHING, hell ANYTHING! So cooling, warming...what’s the difference, as long as he winds up soliciting grant money from some group of leftist politicians or useful idiots. THis is how professors and other utterly unaccomplished hangers-on make a living!
