An LSU professor who says he was trying to provoke students to think about the consequences of global warming claims he is being wrongly accused of bias by conservative bloggers who have posted video out-takes of his climate change lecture.

Astronomy professor Bradley Schaefer said he wasn't marginalizing global warming skeptics by telling them "blood will be on their hands" if they support a policy that would have the U.S. doing nothing to restrict greenhouse gas production.

Schaefer said he was trying to provoke discussion with inflammatory rhetoric and gave equally tough criticism to students who advocated other points of view.

"What I was doing was very intentional. I was posing all sides of how to handle global warming, and I was challenging all sides of it, too," Schaefer said in an interview Wednesday.

A video of Schaefer's comments — cut to a few minutes from a nearly hour-long lecture — is popping up on YouTube and conservative blogs, with critics describing it as an attempt to indoctrinate students.

An organization called CampusReform.org, which calls itself "a network of conservative and libertarian student activists," filmed the lecture Nov. 3 and posted clips online, saying it showed Schaefer berating students for their conservative views.
