Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’
newsbusters ^ | 11/7/2007 | Noel Sheppard

Posted on 11/08/2007 2:52:27 AM PST by shove_it

If the founder of The Weather Channel spoke out strongly against the manmade global warming myth, might media members notice?

We're going to find out the answer to that question soon, for John Coleman wrote an article published at ICECAP Wednesday that should certainly garner attention from press members -- assuming journalism hasn't been completely replaced by propagandist activism, that is.

Coleman marvelously began (emphasis added, h/t NB reader coffee250):

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in [sic] allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the "research" to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild "scientific" scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmental conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minutes documentary segment.

[...]

I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.

In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious.

Let's hope so, John; let's hope so.

It’a a convenient lie to cover a broad political agenda.

WOW....something we all knew about years ago is finally being acknowledged by a kingpin.

How long before he winds up in Fort Marcy Park with a bullet in his head? A lot of peoples’ very lucrative careers depend on this scam.

Neo-Idolatry

“Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.

So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise!”

-Rom 1

I believe it was under Bubba's administration that an "Environmental Cabinet Position" was first proposed.

Sounds like Hillary has "hired" Gore already. Hillary has said "out loud" that Gore's function is to get young voters involved in Politics. They just keep hammering away at our kids don't they!!!

I turned on The Weather Channel today, and there was Heidi Cullen with some Global Warming report. One of the “features” was a clip of Hillary Clinton giving an environmental speech, complete with a green backdrop behind her.

The Weather Channel should be ashamed of this blatant campaign ad. I wonder if they give a tenth of their revenues to the great high priest, Al Gore?

The weather channel is one of the biggest proponents of the global warming theory. I believe there’s a series they run about it. Is this guy still associated with them or is he just a voice from the past with no real clout?

Considering Heidi Cullen of the weather channel is one of the most vocal proponents of this junk science this statement surprises me.

According to Wikipedia: “After founding and leaving The Weather Channel, Coleman became weather anchor at independent television station KUSI-TV in San Diego, California as his “retirement job”.[2] Coleman is a vocal climate change skeptic who believes that global warming “is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam.”[3]

Speaking of 'the sky is falling', what ever happened to Willie Green, this forum's original 'chicken little'?

Right out of the communist playbook: the minority claiming consensus. ‘Bolshevik’ actually means ‘majority’, and was used by the minority to give the illusion of consensus.
