Stephen Schneider did for climate science what Carl Sagan did for astronomy
Stephen Schneider, a Stanford University scientist who served on the international research panel on global warming that shared the 2007 Nobel Prize with former U.S. vice-president Al Gore, has died. He was 65.

Schneider studied climate change for decades and wrote a number of books charting its effects on wildlife and ecosystems in the United States, and later chronicled its effect on the nation’s politics and policies. He advised every presidential administration from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama.
Schneider was often in the cross-hairs of the denialist machine. WUWT even had another derogatory article on Schneider ready and on the net and only overwrote it when news of Schneider’s death came in.
Not just WUWT but other unsavory groups/websites loved to hate on Schneider, such as Stormfront and their attack on AGW as a Jewish plot, as Schneider was indeed Jewish.
