Global Warming Is A Total Scam
COMMENTS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING
By John Coleman

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 back in the late 1990’s to create an allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental wacko 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 extremist, 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 ridicules 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, i.e. 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 nonevent, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t believe 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 suspect you might like to say to me, “John, look the research that supports the case for global warming was done by research scientists; people with PH D’s in Meteorology. They are employed by major universities and important research institutions. Their work has been reviewed by other scientists with PH D’s. They have to know a lot more about it than you do. Come on, John, get with it. The experts say our pollution has created an strong and increasing greenhouse effect and a rapid, out of control global warming is underway that will sky rocket temperatures, destroy agriculture, melt the ice caps, flood the coastlines and end life as we know it. How can you dissent from this crisis? You must be a bit nutty.
Allow me, please, to explain how I think this all came about. Our universities have become somewhat isolated from the rest of us. There is a culture and attitudes and values and pressures on campus that are very different. I know this group well. My father and my older brother were both PHD-University types. I was raised in the university culture. Any person who spends a decade at a university obtaining a PHD in Meteorology and become a research scientist, more likely than not, becomes a part of that single minded culture. They all 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.
And, there is something else. These scientists know that if they do research and results are in no way alarming, their research will gather dust on the shelf and their research careers will languish. But if they do research that sounds alarms, they will become well known and respected and receive scholarly awards and, very importantly, more research dollars will come flooding their way.
So when these researchers did climate change studies in the late 90’s they were eager to produce findings that would be important and be widely noticed and trigger more research funding. It was easy for them to manipulate the data to come up with the results they wanted to make headlines and at the same time drive their environmental agendas. Then their like minded PHD colleagues reviewed their work and hastened to endorse it without question.
There were a few who didn’t fit the mold. They did ask questions and raised objections. They did research with contradictory results. The environmental elitists berated them brushed their studies aside.
I have learned since the Ice Age is coming scare in the 1970’s to always be a skeptic about research. In the case of global warming, I didn’t accept media accounts. Instead I read dozens of the scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct when I assure you there is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. It is all a scam, the result of bad science.
I am not alone in this assessment. There are hundreds of other meteorologists, many of them PH D’s, who are as certain as I am that this global warming frenzy is based on bad science and is not valid.
I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismal 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.

risk management. ever heard of that.
your level of douchebaggery is out of control.

Attacking the character or motivations of those making claims that you disagree with may be valid when you are trying to motivate others to look more closely and with a more critical eye at said claims. That does not mean that those attacks, in any way, constitute a valid argument against the opposing party’s claim.
If you want to convince other people that your position is correct then make a valid argument. You say that you have studied and consulted with experts, back it up. Produce the results of that investigation, justify why the experts you side with are more correct, argue relevant points, do more than make an empty unsupported claim.
If you can’t do that then you’re just spouting bullshit, and most of us are neck deep in it already. We don’t need more people adding to the pile.

That is the worst bullshit I have ever heard.

YOU ARE F-ING KIDDING ME!!!! THATS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF CRAP!!!!! I’D SUE YOU FOR THAT IF I COULD!

John….Thank You!….I do think that we can do a lot more to clean up planet earth however, I also remember the global cooling rap from a few years back and it seems to have returned …same song..different words.But you have to remember, Als making a LOT of money off from this one.May I link into this sight from my Fact or Fiction Page(in process)? …….Also it is -12 as I type this..global warming should get it up to + 8 tomorrow for the hi.

Everything written here is true. GW is a scam. Gore’s movie is designed to further the investor value of his green investment company, nothing more. Gore is a clever rascal.

what a silly person you are john. Maybe you just feel bad that your dad and brother are smarter than you (both PhDs) and you are a stupid weatherman? Have you ever looked at the absorption spectrum of carbon dioxide? (do you know what an absorption spectrum is?) Please, go park your car in your garage, close the garage door, open your car windows, and turn the car on. Quickly you will realize what happens when you release a large amount of a toxic substance into a small volume.

So your claim is GW is a myth because the scientist want more money. Try backing it up with science instead of Ad Hominem attacks.

Folks, when the guy who’s responsible for The Weather Channel talks about climate change, you should listen respectfully, then say, “Thank you, Mr. Coleman.”
Thank you, Mr. Coleman.

“Environmental extremist, notable politicians among them then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild “scientific” scenario”
This says it all. Just another conspiracy theory. The so called “climate skeptics” are either a bunch of semi-senile would-be scientists or have been bribed by the fossil fuel industry. Just take a look at Singer, Ball, Michaels, and all the other corrupt people who form the spearhead of the anti-GW faction. They are lying to the public.

tell it to someone who believes you buddy, because no one cares.if you were even to give some small level of proof, i wouldn’t believe you. you’re just saying that gb is a scam. can you prove it? no. i agree with Ashleigh Skye Tyler. read her post to see what she said. amen sister!

Hi Liar - can you definitively prove I am wrong? Oh, wait can you prove you are right - No.
