Founder of the Weather Channel Slams Global Warming
Fix This Nation ^ | 10/25/14

Posted on 10/28/2014 12:18:23 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

The climate change movement has gained such unstoppable momentum in the past decade that it comes as a surprise when anyone prominent has the guts to stand up against it. It is even more surprising when that someone is the co-founder of the Weather Channel.

John Coleman, though, has decided that the theory of man-made global warming is no longer scientifically viable. Having closely studied the topic of climate change for years, Coleman insists that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has it all wrong. “There is no significant man-made global warming at this time, there has been none in the past, and there is no reason to fear any in the future.”

Coleman’s breadth of contrary evidence comes largely from the NIPCC, a collection of scientists unaffiliated with world governments, who aim to offer a “second opinion of the evidence” in contradiction to the findings of the IPCC. Though Coleman acknowledges that some evidence points to rising global temperatures, he contends that it can be easily explained by natural phenomena rather than carbon dioxide and man-made pollutants.

Coleman’s credentials do not include a degree in meteorology, but he has been invested in the TV weather business for more than 60 years. This is certainly not the first time he’s spoken out against what he calls “the greatest scam in history.” He penned a long, detailed column in 2009 called The Amazing Story Behind the Global Warming Scam. In it, he detailed the history of climate change science, claiming that a quest for funding led unscrupulous scientists, government bureaucrats, and environmental activists to perpetuate an unproven hoax for more than half a century.

It's idiocy like that which allowed the left to get away with the global warming hoax by painting Conservatives as the anti-science luddites.

Idiocy? Well, well, well I'll add that to the list of pejoratives from the leftists that I wear with a badge of honor.

Frankly Ivy League lace-cuff types pushing the evolution and globull warming agenda use a lot of teacup words that show a lot of "learning" but not an iota of wisdom. To borrow a phrase from Evangelist Sam Jones, those "intellectuals" with their A.B.'s, Ph.D.'s, M.A.'s, and LL.D.'s need to A.S.S. to their titles.

Actually it's the Creationist and Global Warming believers who are exactly the same

Compare


Creationism was rebranded as “Intelligent Design”
Global Warming was rebranded as “Climate Change”

God works in mysterious ways
It’s weather not climate

False equivalences abound in your post. And you may wish to re-read what the boss has stated in this article:

Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site. If I may, a few quotes (and I've pinged The Man to make sure none of my snippets are out of context) from that:

Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.

We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.

And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.

Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you. FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.

My take on godless Darwinian evolution (a phrase that equates to leftist junk "science") is that everything has worth knowing about the "Origin of the Species" has already been covered more than adequately here:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

-- Genesis 1:1. And that's all there is to it.

1.) You’ve presented a series of contrasts, not similarities.
2.) You’ve demonstrated willful ignorance of the biblical texts.

Go back to your cave.

That he (qam1) certainly did and "hoisted by his own petard" comes to mind. One of the most loyal and most savvy of FReepers (as well as a key player in FReepathons) is perennial favorite DJMacWow who has summed things up in her always on-target, succinct manner:

We knew a kid that believed in evolution, big bang actually. So Hubby finally said “If I put a stick of dynamite up the tailpipe of your car, will it come down as a BMW? It’s a big bang. How about your watch in a box of rocks? Will it come out a Rolex?” LOL

Well said! Very well said!

CO2 comprises only 0.04% of the atmosphere and the majority of that CO2 is from totally natural sources. Global warming assumes that molecular level increases in CO2 will cause increases in global temperatures. However, that theory has been totally discredited as despite increases in CO2 there has been no global warming for nearly two decades and none of the dire predictions by Al Gore have been remotely true. The man caused global warming theory also ignores any other factors that may affect global temperatures including the most obvious the sun. Coleman is right, man caused global warming due to increased CO2 is a politically driven hoax.

That's correct. The two groups are the lowest-IQ segment of each political party.

Climates are dynamic.

Don’t like it? Then stop plate tectonics.

I am in the odd position of believing in both God and evolution because evolution is the better story. Thomas Aquinas might have come to the same conclusion had he known.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist . . .

. . . The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientifictechnological elite.
