The “Global Warming” Video Censored by Stanford.

Whoops. Stanford University professor Stephen Schneider used to be an advocate for Global Cooling until he decided that Global Warming was actually the real bogeyman. He appeared on video for an upcoming film, but then the brave stalwarts of truth and science at Stanford decided to pull permission to show the interview with their “scientist.”
From Climate Depot:
Stanford University has banned a skeptical documentary film from airing a climate change interview with one of its prominent warming activist professors, Stephen Schneider. After legal threats from Stanford University — apparently on behalf of Prof. Schneider — the documentary filmmakers were forced to use a blank screen and an actor had to read the transcript of Schneider’s already taped but legally banned climate interview. The skeptical global warming documentary “Not Evil Just Wrongâ€, set for its international premier on October 18, 2009, interviewed Schneider about his flip-flop from a coming ice age proponent in the 1970s to his current advocacy of man-made global warming fears. Schneider is a professor of biological sciences at Stanford University. (email: shswebsite@lists.stanford.edu)
Irish filmmaker Phelim McAleer told Climate Depot: “Lawyers for Stanford University have tried to ban our documentary from reporting on how one of their professors previously predicted an imminent ice-age, but is now a leading global warming advocate.†(Schneider joins others like Obama Science Czar John Holdren.

Here’s the excerpt that Stanford University prohibited, in this case with an actor playing “Professor” Schneider:
