Wow. Quite a shock. Stephen was not that old and was a very outspoken scientist on climate change. May he rest in peace.

SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Schneider, a Stanford University scientist who served on the international research panel on global warming that shared the 2007 Nobel Prize with Vice President Al Gore, has died. He was 65.

Schneider died of an apparent heart attack Monday while on a flight from Stockholm to London, Stanford officials said.

How long until the teabaggers start dancing on his grave?
