Thanks that put me on to one of my favorite topics.
IPCC enjoys tremendous travel bennies for being so upset about GW. Fun, travel and adventure if you preach global warming.

I think he's wrong, and no better than people who think Bush was behind 9/11 or that the moon landing was staged.
The guy is a meteorologist. Meteorologists study weather, not climate. That's why it's called the Weather Channel and not the Climate Channel.
Frankly I find his rantings about a scientific conspiracy pretty insulting. The man has clearly never written a scientific paper.

Well, stop the presses! John Coleman says AGW is a sham, so we can all just stop arguing and continue polluting.
Oh, wait a second. Does he have a peer reviewed paper presenting his scientific theories or is he just spouting off at the mouth?
I would like to reiterate what dana1981 stated…”Meteorologists study weather, not climate.” It's fine to be sceptical, but try to bring some real data to the table to discuss. Too much opinion, not enough fact.

I can't help but wonder how much research on the subject he
has actually done. I wouldn't mind if he was right but all the
available information indicates that climate change will cause
natural disasters such as drought,flooding,species extinctions,famine. Studies have been done by U.S. government agencies saying this,although BushCo has done
it's best to suppress such statements. He was right about one
thing-in twenty years the truth will be known to everybody.

What would be interesting is if he had a competing theory instead of more demagoguery. A search produced no scholarly references to which his claims could be attributed, only political sites parroting his statements.

It's probably true, but we should still do our part as human beings to keep earth in good shape even if it's not happening as fast as they say, it wouldn't hurt to continue our efforts to curb the effects.

There goes the consensus!
How long before someone makes the claim that he received money from Exxon?

He is my new hero. I'm glad he can see through the lies.
