Weather Channel Founder Explains the History of the Global Warming Hoax
March 17, 2014 By Matthew Burke

Weather Channel Founder John Coleman explains the history of the Global Warming hoax.
John Coleman, an award-winning meteorologist and weatherman with sixty years of experience and founder of the Weather Channel, produced a video explaining the history of the man-made global warming hoax (see video below).

Coleman, a former broadcast meteorologist of the year of the American Meteorological Society (AMS), explains that after being a member for several years, he quit the AMS after it became very clear to him that "the politics had gotten in the way of the science." Coleman explains that there is no man-made global warming, and he's sure of it.

Coleman says that if there were evidence of man-made global warming, he would have been dedicated his life to stopping it:

"I love our wonderful planet Earth. If I thought it was threatened by global warming, I would devote my life to stopping the warming!"
Now they call it "climate change" instead of global warming, because the warming has stopped, says Coleman, and that $4.7 billion in taxpayer money is funding "bogus reports" and "bogus research."

Coleman explains that any warming or "climate change" is extremely negligible from a long-term perspective and certainly nothing unusual or alarming, and points out that Antarctic sea ice is close to an all-time high, and the polar bear population is as high as it's been in recorded history.

In regards to rising sea levels, Coleman says that:

"It's rising at about the rate of about six inches per hundred years, as part of this inter-glacial period. When North America was covered in a 400 foot thick ice core at the end of the last ice age, the oceans were low, and then as that ice melted, of course the oceans have risen. That rise has been gentle and is not important."
At about the 11:30 mark, Coleman begins a detailed explanation about just how the global warming hoax was started and heated up, including how Al Gore got involved in the movement. WATCH BELOW:

Nice find fishy, now see if you can keep from calling people that disagree, fool or idiot.

He's not a climate scientist, nor really even a scientist. He's a TV weatherman.

"Although this item is superficially "true" in the sense that the words quoted above were indeed written by John Coleman, the statement that they "refute" global warming (i.e., prove it to be false) is something of an exaggeration. As Coleman's critics have noted, he does not hold a degree in climatology or any related discipline, nor has he studied or conducted any research in that field; he merely parrots arguments advanced by others. Moreover, much of his criticism of climate change deals with impugning the motives of those engaged in that discipline rather than refuting the science behind their work:

For the many Americans who don't understand the difference between weather - the short-term behavior of the atmosphere - and climate - the broader system in which weather happens - Coleman's professional background made him a genuine authority on global warming. It was an impression that Coleman encouraged. Global warming "is not something you 'believe in,'" he wrote in his essay. "It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise."

Except that it wasn't. Coleman had spent half a century in the trenches of TV weathercasting; he had once been an accredited meteorologist, and remained a virtuoso forecaster. But his work was more a highly technical art than a science. His degree, received fifty years earlier at the University of Illinois, was in journalism. And then there was the fact that the research that Coleman was rejecting wasn't "the science of meteorology" at all - it was the science of climatology, a field in which Coleman had spent no time whatsoever.

Skepticism is, of course, the core value of scientific inquiry. But the essay that Coleman published would have more properly been termed rejectionism. Coleman wasn't arguing against the integrity of a particular conclusion based on careful original research - something that would have constituted useful scientific skepticism. Instead, he went after the motives of the scientists themselves. Climate researchers, he wrote, "look askance at the rest of us, certain of their superiority. They respect government and disrespect business, particularly big business. They are environmentalists above all else."

Critics of Coleman who do study and work in the field of climate science have produced detailed line-by-line rebuttals of his arguments against global warming.

Ah, but Snopes "is owned by a rich left-wing Hungarian."  Soros?  The evil Soros!

BTW, sea level was pretty stable for 6,000 years, then started rising in the 20th century according to research published in the past month. 

Y'all have lost the argument. Progs have spent billions to propagate this sham but, yet, only a handful of lonely, paranoid fools have bought into it. In the near future, these people will be looked upon as we now look upon those who believed the moon was made of green cheese.

Lets just all give in and start agreeing with everything Fish Killer and Tpap post. That would take the wind out of their sails.

Lost the argument? So if this guy Coleman told you a pot of water wasn't boiling despite all the bubbling and steam (at sea level), you'd believe him?

You people are nuttier than ever! The guy was a TELEVISION weather man. You know, just like the hot Latina on Univision. Now SHE I might pretend to believe.

Why do cons so easily fall for bunk like this?
What is there about this science that bothers them so?

Scientists with no affiliation to a profit motive say climate change is real and caused by man. 

Tea party rubes aligned with corporate propaganda.  Be interesting to see how their next presidential candidate feels about climate change.  If he denies along with the Tea Party psychos the rest of America will see him as a disingenuous tool of corporate America.  (Which he will be anyway...)

Meanwhile in Copenhagen...

The "Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Opens Meeting to Finalize Synthesis Report"

"With the release of the Synthesis Report, the IPCC has now finalized the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). The  AR5 is the most comprehensive assessment of climate change ever undertaken. Over 830 scientists from over 80 countries were selected to form the author teams producing the report. They in turn drew on the work of over 1,000 contributing authors and about 2000 expert reviewers. AR5 assessed over 30,000 scientific papers."

Progress continues

You would be joining the majority of Americans.

And you know what the irony is? Your very own PiC blew it for you global warming cultists. By completely screwing up the economy, he killed the goose that laid the golden egg. Since most Americans are struggling, they aren't about to accept higher taxes/costs to fund this nonsense.

I :heart; Q

More like regression.

The question isn't whether the climate is changing. It is, and always has been, in a state of change.

The question isn't whether the climate is warming. It is has been warming since we came out of the last ice age.

The questions lie in whether or not this change is catastrophic, whether or not it is man made, and whether or not we should be investing our time and money into preparing for the inevitable or if we are so naive that we think we can reverse temperatures or control the climate of our planet.
