Right Wing Trumpets Global Warming Denial Of Discredited ‘TV Weatherman’



Yesterday, John Coleman, a founder of The Weather Channel, wrote an article for the International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project, a right-wing climate change skeptic site, claiming man-made global warming is just a “scam“:

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 in allusion of rapid global warming.

As proof that the scientific consensus is a hoax, Coleman writes:

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. … 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.

9. He's thought about it?

Eureka...no one else has thought about it!

What an ass.

4. The ex-WLS Chicago weatherman??

Always kind of enjoyed his forecasts as a kid. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid, John, on the retirement cruise to obscurity...

5. Come on! He's the guy who started The Weather Channel!

If anybody knows about climate, climate change, atmospheric physics, advanced computer modeling, heat sinks, and greenhouse gases, it's a really old fucker with a lot of money.

You people need to get a clue.

8. The new FOX Weather Channel

Comment on ThinkProgress:

"can see it now: Jack Coleman & Rupert Murdoch combine forces to create…

FOX WEATHER CHANNEL

Where it’s always 76 degrees with only a 20% chance of precipitation…because they say it is. And they know they’re right."

:rofl:

[unpossibles]

6. so, because he's read dozens of papers and talked to some scientists

he knows more about it than the majority of the scientific community?

[deutsey]

7. You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows

:evilgrin:

[Bitwit1234]

10. That's completely odd

because the Weather Channel, believes in global warming, they have all kinds of shows about it.

[Buzz Clik]

11. No, what's odd is that the knuckledraggers are all over this article.

For them, it's a great moment for "See? Told ya so!". Accompanied, of course, by lots of screaming and throwing chunks of dung.

[Kolesar]

14. Coleman founded TWC, but he is long gone...eom

[I_Will]

12. " to create in allusion " huh?!

This looks like freeper-spelling and syntax. It's hard to believe it's from an edited article.

[Quantess]

17. Good catch. Illusion would have fit better.

Allusion has a completely different meaning. Spell check isn't perfect. In cases such as this, only a literate human being will do.

[sharp_stick]

13. He's read dozens of papers

and talked to some scientists. Shit man, I've eaten dozens of doughnuts and talked to a couple of cops and I know all about crime control now.

This guy is even dumber than Faux news.

15. BwaaaaHaaaa!

that is all

[Javaman]

16. "knowing you probably won’t believe a me, a mere TV weatherman"

yup, got that right.
