Its a scam. And it does not take rocket scientist to figure it out. Just a little history.

The founder of the weather channel may be a little more qualified than you to make a judgement.

Comments about global warming. ( By John Coleman, founder of the Weather channel }

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 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 do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, Global Warming, ie Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t believe a me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.

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. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway. I strongly believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend.

Information sources is a problem for conservatives. You won’t find many of their blogs linked to standard main stream media sources (AP, Reuters, etc..) - they get their ‘information’ through the filter of ‘Christian conservative’ news organizations like WorldNetDaily, CBN, Cybercast, Fox - where you’ll see ads for Ann Coulter hate books.

It’s too bad most Americans are so scientifically and research illiterate to carry on a debate of this issue. The physical evidence is so overwhelming, it causes conservatives to champion skeptics who often are elderly professor emeritus types not at all on the cutting edge of research.

Untill again grasshopper

Oh man, that was a cheap shot! All I was saying is that I worked for a famous chef’s gourmet seafood plant. Gimme a break. Chef Tell, man! I was just trying to relate. Hell, I would LOVE to try some of your “House Blackend Ahi!” I just know that would be fantastic! I would DIE for that dish! (God, I wish my wife enjoyed fine cuisine - how the hell does a classically educated woman prefer hamburgers over sashimi??? - and ten stay fit??? It’s like I’m doomed to gain weight, even eating raw fish!)

I also prefer sashimi. I love fish. I wish I could remember the name, but I also did prep work for some “famous” gay chef from San Fran when I was in L.A. in 1987-88. Everyone picked on us for eating uncooked food, and some people goofed on me for hanging out with the “gay guy,” but he was a great chef and he, like you I suppose, knew that good food is it’s own reward - sometimes leaving it alone is the best course (gotta love puns).

Micky, you have to lighten up. We’re both American men, and we both have good taste in food. Is that so bad?

Look, I agree that there is a lot of debate about Global Warming. All I’m saying is ‘hedge your bets and recognize that pollution, by definition, is bad.’ Is that also so bad?
