Funny line at the end.
But this isn't a funny issue. However, I believe people are waking up to the fact that there are no facts that suggest we are changing the climate. I think a recent poll showed something like 50% or so of Americans do not believe it. Anyone have the pool numbers?
I remember watching John Coleman way, way back on a local news show in San Diego doing the weather!

Seems a bit curious, considering how much “global warming” fear-mongering is broadcast daily on that channel.

Chances are, the “founder” is no longer running things. Founders often get eased out.

He is the founder, but I believe he sold it years ago and is no longer affiliated with it.

Al Gore reportedly responding by saying, The Weather Channel? Hah. Everyone knows you cant trust a TV weatherman. I have NEVER trusted Algore on ANYTHING. BTW, I think Coleman founded the Weather Channel, but I think he was either bought out, pushed aside, or both, so it might be unfair to hang the Weather Channel's global warming crap on John.

...and his bogus lack of peace prize Nobel Peace Prize ... think what this will do to the [fragile] credibility of the Peace Prize when people finally figure out this is a hoax? How many times can they discredit themselves and still be something considered important each year ... (Carter, Araphat, .... Gore ... oh me).

How do you do the weather in San Diego? Okay folks, just another boring great day. Now back to the News and Sports.

I remember when Coleman departed WLS (aka WBKB) TV (Channel 7) in Chicago to start a new venture, an all the time tv channel devoted to weather. As it got successful either he sold it or got “leveraged out” by his financial backers—I don’t remember exactly.

I just Googled
'John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel says global warming is a hoax', and every site returned had the warning 'This site may harm your computer', yet my virus scanner picked up nothing.
The liberals trying to scam the public with the global warming lie must be getting nervous. LOL!

What was worse was they passed over what was probably the last opportunity (because of her age) to bestow that prize on a aging woman who helped countless numbers of Jews escape death in Nazi Germany. Remarkable story behind that to. Can’t remember her name now though but a search should turn it up because there were several people that thought it was bogus when they did it and some stories on it did come to light.
Instead - they give it to that fat idiot for helping to perpetrate what is ever more rapidly being viewed as a hoax on the world public.
To: MamaTexan
It is a Google problem
I am guessing they are testing new filter software and some geeks dropped the ball
There is a whole (funny) thread on it

When Americans learn the definition of the term “rent seekers”, the reasons for the Global Warming hysteria will suddenly become clear to them.
