Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming `Greatest Scam in History`

Intro by Joe D`Aleo, Icecap, CCM
"I was privileged to work with John Coleman, the founder of The Weather Channel in the year before it became a reality and then for the first of the 6 years I was fortunate to be the Director of Meteorology. No one worked harder than John to make The Weather Channel a reality and to make sure the staffing, the information and technology was the very best possible at that time. John currently works with KUSI in San Diego. He posts regularly. I am very pleased to present his latest insightful post."

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 to create an 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 environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute 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 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.

Ik ben daar niet zo zeker van. Het global warming sprookje wordt al vele jaren gepreekt en er is nog geen reet van uitgekomen. De voorspellingen blijven gewoon jaar na jaar aangepast worden aan de realiteit.

Zelfs al gebeurt er totaal niets, dan nog zal het toegeschreven worden aan het amalgaam aan immeteriele maatregelen die genomen werden, en krijgen de onheilsprofeten alsnog een medaille.

man man toch, een hoop gescheld en getier. Inhoud: nul. Argumenten: nul.

grappige noot; ik las juist op een website het volgende:

Levels of Sophistication

1. Silly
   • There is no evidence
   • Global warming is a hoax
   • One record year is not global warming
   • Climate change mitigation would lead to disaster
   • Mars and Pluto are warming too
   • Mauna Loa is a volcano
2. Naive
   • One hundred years is not enough
   • Glaciers have always grown and receded
   • Why should the U.S. join Kyoto when China and India haven't?
   • It's cold today in Wagga Wagga
   • CO2 in the air comes mostly from volcanoes
   • We can't even predict the weather next week
   • We can not trust unproven computer models
   • The satellites show cooling
   • Natural emissions dwarf human emissions
   • The models don't have clouds
   • Global warming stopped in 1998
   • It's the sun, stupid
   • If we can't understand the past, how can we understand the present?
   • The scientists aren't even sure
   • Vineland was full of grapes
   • Some sites show cooling
3. Specious
   • The temperature record is simply unreliable
   • Climate scientists dodge the subject of water vapor
   • There is no proof that CO2 is causing global warming
   • Current global warming is just part of a natural cycle
   • It was warmer during the Holocene Climatic Optimum
   • The medieval warm period was just as warm as today
   • What's wrong with warmer weather?
   • Kyoto is a big effort for almost nothing
   • CO2 doesn't lead, it lags
   • There is no consensus
   • Antarctic ice is growing
   • Warming is due to the Urban Heat Island effect
   • Greenland used to be green
   • What about mid-century cooling?
   • The null hypothesis says global warming is natural
   • Geological history does not support CO2's importance
   • Climate is always changing
   • Global warming is nothing new!
   • The CO2 rise is natural
   • Historically, CO2 never caused temperature change
   • Hansen has been wrong before
   • Position statements hide debate
   • But the glaciers are not melting
   • If aerosols are blocking the sun, the south should warm faster
   • Antarctic sea ice is increasing
   • Consensus is collusion
   • They predicted global cooling in the 1970s
   • Peiser refuted Oreskes
   • Vineland was full of grapes
4. Scientific
   • Water vapor accounts for almost all of the greenhouse effect
   • Chaotic systems are not predictable
   • The hockey stick is broken
   • Observations show climate sensitivity is not very high
   • Sea level in the Arctic is falling
   • We are just recovering from the LIA

De man zijn "artikel" moeten we dus plaatsen in de eerste categorie van sceptische bedenkingen.
