Stephen H. Schneider.

Stephen H. Schneider (1945-), an American climatologist who pioneered three-dimensional climate modeling. Schneider is known for his ability to integrate and interpret the results of global climate research through public lectures, seminars, classroom teaching, environmental assessment committees, media appearances, and Congressional testimony. He is the founding editor of Climatic Change, among the first journals to foster interdisciplinary inquiry into the totality of the problem of climatic variability and change, as well as its descriptions, causes, implications and interactions. Schneider is lauded by many for his ability to bring the climate change issue into public view and to distill complex scientific issues into terms that are comprehensible to policy makers and the general public. Climate change skeptics have argued that Schneider exaggerates the risks associated with climate change.
