Since that forecast was made in 1979, tide gauges in California show 0.00 inches of sea level rise. Schneider was only off by a factor of infinity.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

That didn’t happen….
Reblogged this on CACA.
Schneider was clever with the use of possiblisms. The article says “its initiation cannot be ruled out as a possibility before the end of this century.”
Hedge, hedge, obfuscate, maybe, potentially, plausible, blah, blah, blah.
It is remarkable that anyone paid attention to this sort of meaningless blather back then.
Oh, wait. Ehrlich was on Carson numerous times…
[sarc]Look, it quite obviously says “If”.
It’s not a prediction, it’s a scenario, just like all those IPCC reports.

Reblogged this on The Firewall.
If only they had had the ability to prdict that Detroit would be under water today. 😉
“We have to offer up scary scenarios… each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective [lying] and being honest [ineffective].” -Stephen Schneider
So there he was in 1979 following his own advise. Unfortunately, it’s not just Schneider. It’s all of them. Word got out that it’s ok to lie, and indeed commendable to do so. Virtually everything the fear mongering Prophets of Doom say is complete bullshit.
Steve,
Do you still have the Trove link for this one. The text for this is a keeper!
Schneider actually thought 15-25′ sea level rise if Arctic sea-ice melts? Even an idiot should realize nothing rises from sea-ice melt.
So if he meant land-ice, which is even more unlikely to melt than sea-ice, then he must have actually believe that CO2 can somehow overpower continental drift. Greenland ain’t melting until it moves out of the Arctic circle.
It was a google news link, and unfortunately google no longer seems to have rights to that paper.
Here is the original link for the newspaper article that Steve mentioned in another thread …

Has anyone figured out a way to get plain-text out of Google newspaper sans?
