Re: Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’
It is interesting to me, that we seem to be playing in a field of black and white in this debate...when most of the Data is Grey. Its relatively clear that the earth has a cyclical natural change in climate. It is also well understood that part of this natural cycle involves greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It has now become clear that human activity has increased the gas concentration of known greenhouse elements somewhat dramatically in a time frame and quantity unseen in what records we can access, leading some to postulate there is a link between the climate shift and the increased gas concentrations.
Is that so hard to grasp?
as for the San Diego Weatherman:
He tends to see alot of scams...heh

"Being a TV weatherman in San Diego is an outrageous scam," says KUSI NEWS' 6, 10 and 11 PM weathercaster. Then he laughs. He knows there is plenty of truth in his joke, but he also knows its a long way from the whole story.

Anyway...Given the choice between using the opinion of this guy:
Quote:
John Coleman has been a TV weatherman since he was a freshman in college in 1953 and TV was brand new. He still loves predicting the weather and relating to the television viewers. "I also love working at KUSI NEWS", he adds. "It is a rare thing; a locally owned and managed TV station. And, there are dozens of wonderful people who work here."
John has predicted and shoveled his share of snow. He has been a TV weatherman in Champaign, Peoria and Chicago, Illinois; Omaha, Nebraska, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and New York City. For seven years he was the weatherman on "Good Morning, America" on the ABC Network.
John also cooked up the idea of a cable channel devoted to nothing but weather and spent six years developing "The Weather Channel" on cable. "That's my baby", he says. "The bad guys took it away from me, but they can't steal the fact that it was my idea and I started it and ran it for the first year. I put everything I had into making TWC the success it is."
"As for my "retirement job" at KUSI, it's the most fun I ever had. And the people of San Diego County have been wonderful to me for well over a decade. That's very, very nice. And, that's all I have to say." With that Coleman gets down to work predicting the weather one more time.

Or....these guys:
