Climategate: Debate Gets Heated at Copenhagen Climate Conference
Posted on 14. Dec, 2009 by James Devere in Political Commentary, Political News
The video below shows climatologist and Stanford Professor Stephen Schneider fielding a difficult question on the Climategate emails, proffered by Phelim McAleer, a global-warming skeptic. The repeated exchange between McAleer and Schneider resulted in a confrontation with security and McAleer was ultimately removed from the venue.
Here is the unedited version (about 10 minutes long):

This is not the first interaction between the two; below is an article from the Stanford’s periodical Fiat Lux:
Stanford Protects Stephen Schneider from Public Embarrassment
Stanford recently moved to protect one of its own from embarrassment. The University prohibited filmmakers of the upcoming documentary “Not Evil Just Wrong” from using the audio and video from an interview they conducted with Stanford Professor Stephen Schneider.
Climatedepot.com reported today that it has obtained the letter sent by the University to the film’s director Phelim McAleer. Skeptical of global warming crusaders’ tactics and their impact on humans, McAleer’s documentary was to feature the interview with Schneider.
Currently, Schneider very publicly champions the fight against potential “climate change that’s catastrophic in the next century.” But Stanford’s actions against the filmmakers on Schneider’s behalf also stem from the filmmakers’ questioning of Schneider regarding his publicly-stated assertions during the 70s that man was contributing to global cooling.

On the other hand, for them, apostasy may be as painful as it was for Dan Pearl.

Dave,
Thank you for posting this link. I find that for the most part the scientists involved in the debate are, above all, trying to be acurate in their work. It is a small group of politically motivated individuals who have hijacked the science. I had not seen the Huffington Post account yet but have seen other accounts, which led me to include the link to the entire 10 minute exchange.
