He was the Bill Veeck of Weather?

You can accept climate change and still call how the government employs the concept (as a Goldstein-esque boogey-man) a hoax.

Watched him here in San Diego for years. I loved it when he did his happy dance because the weather was going to be so great it would make you happy. I still do the happy dance for my wife when something is just funny or makes me smile, Hope he gets Jesus to do the happy dance in the clouds. RIP John

“I remember him from WLS in Chicago.“

Same here. He helped make that station a news powerhouse in that era.

All of them I think.

From Stuffing for brains (Stephanie) Abrams to Jim “I get a thrill up my leg over thunder snow” Cantore they all think that way.

Earlier in the day the Minneapolis weather report was 8 to 12” of snow for Tuesday
Now 9 hours later it is 6 to 10”
In the graphic it still shows 8-12”
Look at the prediction below. They really have no idea yet they say the earth will be 1/2 degree warmer some 100 years from now!

When I worked in Funeral Service, we had the Weather Channel on in the office to 'keep us company', as the boss said.

I was in love with Terri Smith.

RIP, Sir. Loved your commentaries on GW.

RIP Mr. Coleman. You had a lot of courage to fight the climate change fascists.

Watch How the Global Warming Scare Began - the Real Story

If you dont have time to watch the whole video view 11:30 to 17:00. The founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, tells the true story of how dopey Al Gore got a "D" in his mentor's (Roger Revelle) class and misrepresented the information to turn on the government money. THAT IS HOW GLOBAL WARMING WAS BORN. Once the money started flowing it never stopped. That was the only science class Al Gore took and the only thing he learned was how to scare people to get research money.

K - UUUUUUUUUUUUUU - S- I !
listened to him daily a decade+ ago. Good guy.

Rest in Peace John Coleman. I remember you well as Chicago’s Channel 7 weatherman in the late 60s and early 70s. You had foresight and succeeded to create the Weather Channel and long knew that the ‘global warming theory’ is a fraud.

I don’t recall any midgets?
But I did not watch every night.
