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.”
The Weather Channel has been an outlet for global warming alarmism. In December 2006, The Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen argued on her blog that weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society.
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.”
Earlier at the conference Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy adviser to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, told an audience that the science will eventually prevail and the “scare” of global warming will go away. He also said the courts were a good avenue to show the science.
No kidding. I used to have the Weather Channel on 24/7
Now I won’t touch it. If I want weather, I turn to the internet.
Have you taken notice that Gore has disappeared since the racketeering investigation began?

WOO-HOO - The gig is up !!!!!!
Cool.
BOOKMARKED & MEGABUMP!!
No it isn't, you kook!
Wow, it's easy to refute the warming deniers. /s
Go get ‘em, John!
(Proud to have watched John Coleman back when he was just a regular weather guy in Chicago.)
John Coleman for Vice President!
Global Warming PING!
Racketeering investigation? Excuse me for know knowing, but what is that about? Elaborate please !!!
Go, John, Go!!
I really, really hope this pans out.
I'd love to see a lawsuit against Al move forward. Would it qualify as a class action lawsuit?
I've read the Al Gore's wealth has hit approx $100 million, so he had deep pockets and is worth suing. Of course he'll have that same money to fight back with too.
Would that make it illegal to yell Global Warming in a crowded theater?
I think it's a UK case against algores company
Now I won’t touch it. If I want weather, I turn to the internet.
Ditto here.
