Fighting the Fanatics
The founder of the Weather Channel is upset.
The Weather Channel has lost its way, according to John Coleman, who founded the channel in 1982.
Coleman told an audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York that he is highly critical of global warming alarmism.
“The Weather Channel had great promise, and that’s all gone now because they’ve made every mistake in the book on what they’ve done and how they’ve done it and it’s very sad,” Coleman said. “It’s now for sale and there’s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced – several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let’s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.”
So he has a plan for fighting the alarmists.
Coleman also told the audience his strategy for exposing what he called “the fraud of global warming.” He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, which would force global warming alarmists to give a more honest account of the policies they propose.
“[I] have a feeling this is the opening,” Coleman said. “If the lawyers will take the case – sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. That lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention. And as the experts went to the media stand to testify, I feel like that could become the vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.”
That’s brilliant because they would have to prove it in court and they can’t. They can’t prove anything. But because the AGW people have so much riding on this, I can see them doing everything they can to undermine such a lawsuit before it can happen.
I hope it does. We need to fight fanaticism wherever it rears its ugly head. And this AGW nonsense i way beyond the pale.
As some readers might recall, my husband John is an environmental claims consultant. He helps clean up the enviroment every day of his life, and I believe that morally and ethically, he’s doing more for the health of this planet every goddamn working day of his life than any of the paid Greenie Gorillas or carbon offset advocates could ever hope to accomplish in a lifetime. In his industry, that of environmental cleanup—these so called ‘carbon credits’ DO NOT EXIST! But wait? Why don’t they exist? Aren’t they helping to clean the environment? ... You guessed it. NO! In their current incarnation, they are not now and never will be a validated or appropriate form of reimbursement or restoration for any environmental cleanup actions.
