I would like to bring to your attention an Insight special on SBS television on Tuesday, 7 September at 7:30.

Can one climate change scientist change the minds of a roomful of climate change sceptics?

In late June Insight recorded this program with internationally renowned climate change scientist Stephen Schneider. He was in Australia to present at the Climate Adaptation Futures conference on the Gold Coast.http://www.nccarf.edu.au/conference2010/archives/449

A few weeks later, Stephen Schneider died on a flight from Stockholm to London. He was 65 and had been battling a serious illness.

Stephen Schneider was a passionate believer that science should engage directly with the public on the issue of climate change.

It was in this spirit that he appeared on INSIGHT. http://news.sbs.com.au/insight
