Weather Channel Founder: Sue Al Gore for Fraud (wising up to the fraud)
fox news ^ | 3/13/2008 | fox news

Posted on 03/13/2008 2:53:46 PM PDT by tobyhill

The founder of the Weather Channel wants to sue Al Gore for fraud, hoping a legal debate will settle the global warming debate once and for all.

John Coleman, who founded the cable network in 1982, suggests suing for fraud proponents of global warming, including Al Gore, and companies that sell carbon credits.

"Is he committing financial fraud? That is the question," Coleman said.

"Since we can't get a debate, I thought perhaps if we had a legal challenge and went into a court of law, where it was our scientists and their scientists, and all the legal proceedings with the discovery and all their documents from both sides and scientific testimony from both sides, we could finally get a good solid debate on the issue," Coleman said. "I'm confident that the advocates of 'no significant effect from carbon dioxide' would win the case."

I always wondered who was charging for these “carbon credits” and what they were doing with that money.

Wouldn’t it be nice to get in on the taking end of the carbon credits fraud and then use the money to diseminate the truth?

I wonder if there is anyway to make it into some sort of class action suit so we can all get in on it?

(I know, I know... but a guy can dream, can't he??)

Bless his heart. John Coleman could aptly be named "Chief Weather Forecaster Emeritus" for the U.S.

No showbiz or razzle-dazzle, he's a straight shooter and got a lot of hard experience in Chicago....before Doppler and all the fancy computer graphics now in common use.

He's the "Real Deal".

Gore has described the lifestyle he and his wife Tipper live as "carbon neutral," meaning he tries to offset any energy usage, including plane flights and car trips, by "purchasing verifiable reductions in CO2 elsewhere."

But it turns out he pays for his extra-large carbon footprint through Generation Investment Management, a London-based company with offices in Washington, D.C., for which he serves as chairman. The company was established to take financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating "global warming,"

John Coleman is a weather guy now here in San Diego. He is little kookie but I love this idea.

I'd like to sue for the effects of toxic sanctimony emitted into the atmosphere by Gorebots.
