Gordon, observe how dishonest your source is.
The "father" of global warming alarmism was previously a global cooling alarmist. He was a science advisor to Presidents. He was later Editor in the top climate journal. He popularized the term "climate change denier" and advocated that everyone call skeptics that kind of name. He was a huge figure in the IPCC coercion force while also maintaining that he hated the divisiveness and attacks and always tried to reduce that aspect.
They get away with the most absurd lies due to protection by the big money press. The late Stephen Schneider.

"Stephen Henry Schneider (February 11, 1945 – July 19, 2010)
[1] was Professor of Environmental Biology and Global Change at
Stanford University, a Co-Director at the Center for Environment Science and Policy of the
Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and a Senior Fellow in the
Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment. Schneider served as a consultant to federal agencies and White House staff in the
Richard Nixon,
Jimmy Carter,
Ronald Reagan,
George H. W. Bush,
Bill Clinton,
George W. Bush and
Barack Obama administrations.

Schneider's research included modeling of the
atmosphere,
climate change, and the effect of global climate change on biological systems. Schneider was the founder and editor of the journal
Climatic Change and authored or co-authored over 450
scientific papers and other publications. He was a Coordinating Lead Author in Working Group II Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
Third Assessment Report and was engaged as a co-anchor of the Key Vulnerabilities Cross-Cutting Theme for the
Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) at the time of his death. During the 1980s, Schneider emerged as a leading public advocate of sharp reductions of
greenhouse gas emissions to combat
global warming. In 2006 Professor Schneider was an
Adelaide Thinker in Residence advising the
South Australian Government of Premier
Mike Rann on climate change and
renewable energy policies.
[2] In ten years
South Australia went from zero to 31% of its electricity generation coming from renewables.
An annual award for outstanding climate science communication was created in Schneider's honor after his death, by the
Commonwealth Club of California.
[3] The Stephen Schneider Memorial Lecture of the
American Geophysical Union honors Schneider's life and work.

Early work
Schneider grew up on
Long Island, New York. He studied engineering at
Columbia University, receiving his bachelor's degree in
mechanical engineering in 1966. In 1971, he earned a Ph.D. in
mechanical engineering and
plasma physics.
[5] Schneider studied the role of greenhouse gases and suspended particulate material on climate as a postdoctoral fellow at NASA's
Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Schneider was awarded the
Marshall Scholarship.
In 1971, Schneider was second author on a
Science paper with
S. Ichtiaque Rasool titled "Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Aerosols: Effects of Large Increases on Global Climate" (
Science 173, 138–141). This paper used a one-dimensional
radiative transfer model to examine the competing effects of cooling from aerosols and warming from CO2. The paper concluded that:
t is projected that man's potential to pollute will increase six- to eightfold in the next 50 years. If this increased rate of injection of particulate matter in the atmosphere should raise the present background opacity by a factor of 4, our calculations suggest a decrease in global temperature by as much as 3.5 °K. Such a large decrease in the average temperature of Earth, sustained over a period of few years, is believed to be sufficient to trigger an ice age. However, by that time, nuclear power may have largely replaced fossil fuels as a means of energy production.[6]
