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.”
GWing!
When he put together the Weather Channel, cable was so primative that his effort was considered sheer lunacy. He might have acted stupidly on camera, but he was (is) no dummy.
So who is at fault? Al Gore or his channel that broadcast the hoax?
The last few years have seen it turn into an out and out propoganda machine for the whacko environmentalists. I rarely watch it at all now, where I used to tune in all the time. I now simply use the internet and the Weather Service and the local weather channels in the places of interest that I am planning to travel to or where my family and friends live.
Worse yet, the government and people that are passing laws and regulations based on a hoax.
“John Coleman was the weatherman at Chicago’s ABC affiliate Channel 7 many, many years ago”
He’s now the weatherman durring the week for Channel 9 in San Diego.
Ahhh, but now it’s ‘climate change.’ So they have all their bases covered.

2. I believe that greenhouses gases and carbon are the RESULT of temperature increases or decreases caused by the sun... p.e.r.i.o.d.
So, Al Gore can put a stick in it.
“He’s now the weatherman durring the week for Channel 9 in San Diego.”
Really? I thought he financially cleaned up when he sold The Weather Channel? He must be as old as dirt by now.
I haven’t watched the WC for some time now. Every time there is a storm coming, I look at the WC and they are rehashing some storm from the past.
It seems to me there is always interesting weather going on in our 50 statee, that to rehash old storm is silly.
Sometimes our area can be under tornado watches, and all I can find on the WC is a story on a tornado from 7 years ago or a hurricane story from 3 years ago.
“He must be as old as dirt by now.”
Maybe that’s why he only works 5 days a week!
BTW, i’m as old as dirt myself!
“BTW, i’m as old as dirt myself!”
Married 34 years today (3-3-74), so I’m right behind you.
What’s up with Cantore? He looks like death warmed over lately. Is he ill or something?
Is this him?
“Married 34 years today”
We celebrare our 50th anniversery in June.
“Is this him?”
If that’s him the picture had to be taken at least 30 years ago. He has to be in his 70s.

When it started, it was a great idea, now it is a steaming pile of excerment. I'm not about to sit through 30 minutes of global warming propaganda waiting to hear what the temp is and for the local forcast. And half the time, they don't even bother to give you that.... Haven't watched it in years, a waste of space on my TV channel list....
Actually, John Coleman was just on Fox News about a week or so ago. He still looks in remarkably good shape. He’s got to be somewhere in his 70’s now. I grew up watching him as weatherman here in Chicagoland, for years. Always liked him. He had a great sense of humor and was indeed a bit theatrical in a fun way. Also a great weatherman. A fount of knowledge. And he’s on to the climate change hoaxsters bigtime.
Dang, forgot to add this...
