A Stanford Professor has used United Nation security officers to silence a journalist asking him “inconvenient questions” during a press briefing at the climate change conference in Copenhagen.These guys think they can throw out their pronouncements and theories and because of who they are they must not be challenged.
Professor Stephen Schneider’s assistant requested armed UN security officers who held film maker Phelim McAleer, ordered him to stop filming and prevented further questioning after the press conference where the Stanford academic was launching a book.
McAleer, a veteran journalist and film maker, has recently made a documentary “Not Evil Just Wrong’ which takes a sceptical look at the science and politics behind Global Warming concerns.
He asked Professor Schneider about his opinions on Climategate – where leaked emails have revealed that a senior British professor deleted data and encouraged colleagues to do likewise if it contradicted their belief in Global Warming.
Professor Phil Jones, the head of Britain’s Climate Research Unit, has temporarily stood down pending an investigation into the scandal.
Professor Schneider, who is a senior member of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said he would not comment on emails that may have been incomplete or edited.
During some testy exchanges with McAleer, UN officials and Professor Schneider’s assistants twice tried to cut short McAleer’s question.
However as the press conference drew to a close Professor Schneider’s assistant called armed UN security guards to the room. They held McAleer and aggressively ordered cameraman Ian Foster to stop filming. The guard threatened to take away the camera and expel the film crew from the conference if they did not obey his instructions to stop filming Professor Schneider.
The guard demanded to look at the film crews press credentials and refused to allow them to film until Professor Schneider left the room.
Those days are over, bub.

This Schneider guy is a real jerk.
These Climate Control people think they are god and can do anything they want. The whole thing they are after is control over people of all countries. They hate it when they get caught with their pants down.
Author of "Cool It", Bjorn Lomborg, one of the first people to challenge Statists, Gaia worshipers and other weather alarmists, was attacked and had a pie slammed into his face during one of his first press conferences after the publication of his book. The Left, going back to the Bolsheviks, always turn to violence when opposed. Thank heaven they aren't killing people right now, just trying to use government to steal money, in the form of taxes, from people to fulfill their dreams of oppression and power.
