I wonder if Schneider made enough money as a warming alarmist to pay off his debt as a cooling alarmist. RIP though.
They were in the right ball park.
No mosquito’s on a warm summer day down south:

Schneider successfully sent the South Australian government broke through developing its progressive policy of investing in so called “renewable” energy. And then they jacked the power prices to be the most expensive IN THE WORLD to pay for his stupid idea.
The guy was an idiot and the fact that he was an advisor to every president since Nixon says a lot about how crazy Washington DC really is, and how dumb Mike Rann and the Australian ALP still is!

And we keep believing every prediction.
Schneider, the master of “scary scenarios,” was already at it in 1976. Maybe some of the warmists just like to scare people, especially the children, for its own sake. Regardless, without a doubt, for more than a score of years, the words or sentiment of Schneider has been serving as the guiding force behind the fear mongering Chicken Littles. Over and over again, year after year, it never ends and it never stops, the warmists just keep on like a broken record repeating the same regurgitated warnings of our imminent doom. It never comes true though. It’s all baloney. Small detail.
By the way, that’s what the hockey stick was, I mean is, a “scary scenario.”
Mann was doing his duty, promoting “the cause,” being “effective” by not being honest. The statistical “technique” Mann used to create the hockey stick involved heavily weighting any data that helped create a hockey stick, and seriously downplaying anything that didn’t. If random numbers are fed into Mann’s algorithm, nearly every time the result is… a hockey stick. From Jo Nova today: Mann censored data, artificially truncated data, used the wrong type of proxy, didn’t release the data, and used an algorithm that produced hockey sticks out of red noise. The hockey stick overturned decades of accepted thinking on what the past climate was like. Normally this type of paradigm changer would be met with intense scrutiny over a long time period. No scrutiny for the hockey stick though, despite the hockey stick being riddled with issues. No time period either, within months the hockey stick was accepted “by all” without question as the new shining star of the climateers. It didn’t matter to the establishment scientists and climatologists whether the hockey stick was true or not, because it was the scary scenario that would allow their “cause” to be realized. Hallelujah! Check out The Rise and Fall of the Hockey Stick: http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-rise-and-fall-of-hockey-stick-and.html
“This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken [de-industrialization!], it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000.” -Lowell Ponte in The Cooling, 1976
Kook and Nutter: “That book never existed; nothing to see here.. please move along”
Indeed, Ponte’s book did not exist; that’s why I read it three times.
More from Schneider’s cooling period:
We report here on the first results of a calculation in which separate estimates were made of the effects on global temperature of large increases in the amount of CO2 and dust in the atmosphere. It is found that even an increase by a factor of 8 in the amount of CO2, which is highly unlikely in the next several thousand years, will produce an increase in the surface temperature of less than 2 deg. K.
Schneider S. & Rasool S., “Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Aerosols – Effects of Large Increases on Global Climate”, Science, vol.173, 9 July 1971, p.138-141
Seems that there has been a radical reassessment of the so-called “Climate Sensitivity” since 1971.
And there’s me thinking that the science of GHGs had been settled for 150 years…
In southern Illinois by a state park there is a closed road called ‘Skilift Rd’, that was built in the late seventies. A couple of businessmen who were convinced a new ice age was coming, bought and started development of a ski resort there. Needless to say they went bankrupt and no skiing ever took place. Now it is just a forgotten monument to failed science.
