Weather Channel founder calls Global Warming "a scam."

Meteorologist, John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, reportedly stated that Global Warming is the biggest scam in history-- strong words from someone as reputable as he is.This, no doubt, means a veritable excommunication of sorts. Despite this, it is certainly commendable to dissent in the face of overwhelming opposition. Then again, Coleman has enough clout within the community to bolster support amongst the small, but growing community of dissenters.If indeed Coleman is correct in his assessment, that the warming trend is a perfectly natural one that is not due to human intervention, what will this mean for the side of house that continues to support the assertion of anthropogenic global warming?http://www.nbcaugusta.com/news/national/11114421.htmlEdited by Nemesis Juggernaut, : Edit to add link

That the hysteria may just be that.... hysteria. The weather is always a potential danger, whether you add humans in to the mix or not. The question is, what can you do if it is a natural cycle? That nature will do as she pleases. So have a contingency plan for worst case scenarios, place your faith in Christ Jesus and Him crucified, and deal with it. I don't see many other options.But Jar once said, something to the effect of, even if it is a natural cycle, will it hurt to reduce emissions? He makes a very valid point. No, I don't think it would make it worse. Problem is, we have more pressing issues to deal with-- most notably, how to convert energy without fossil fuels to get us to point A to point Z, and everything in between, in the meantime? If it is not anthropogenically caused, what can you do? Provided the dinosaurs had the intelligence to understand it, could they have done something to ameliorate the cataclysmic ice age? Reduce emissions... I'm sure it can't hurt. Recycle, even though it costs just as much energy to recycle than it does for them to start fresh. Don't pollute the waters or the earth. Be good stewards of the earth. And above all, respect nature and her power.Beyond that, what should we be doing? The way I see it is that we have a lot of hard talkers with not a lot of follow through. How about the loudest put their money where their mouth is and get rid of their car, get rid of plastics, don't use electricity, etc, etc...Because they aren't really saying anything so profound that would make themselves walk the talk.

What? It seems a lot of people do care, yourself included. What then do you suggest we do? And of your suggestions, do you follow your own advice? Or is it a case of do as I say, not as I do? Okay.... How? What does that actually even mean? Does it mean, stop driving? Does it mean, stop using plastics? Does it mean, start recycling? Does it mean knitting your own grocery bags so as to not use paper or plastic bags? Does it mean, shut down factories? Does it mean, boycott fossil fuels? What does it mean in your opinion, to be Green? A good place to start would be the lier jet that Gore scuttles across the world upwards of a hundreds times a year to take him to Global Warming conventions, which expends the amount of energy that 1,000 SUV's would!I'm beginning to think that you can't really win with the Greenies. In one instance the complaint of all Americans is that the price of gas is too high. But they won't allow drilling in Alaska, in an incredibly barren area, for fear that it might endanger the Arctic Lousewort.I mean, Alaska is this nations largest state, which is almost half the size of the entire continental United States. That's a lot of land. I'm sure the Arctic Muskrat can figure out a way to get around the oil field.

Yes, but he contends, 1. That human introduced emissions aren't causing it, and 2. That the assertion that it will cause the earth in to a cataclysmic, downward spiral is hysteria. Who says he hasn't? This is from a news source, however, they did provide a link to ICECAP which details the dissent in a dissertation-styled format. He has meteorological experience to start with. Secondly, he's backed by a panel of other eminent climatologists.

Sure, in his sanctimonious flick he presents the meek face of philanthropy. Problem is, Gore, among other global warming touters, unfortunately have not practiced what they preach.Can't respond to the rest now. I'll be gone for about a week. I'm taking a commercial jet to visit my family in a few hours.
