Answer 1

It's a known fact that the earth's climate has heated and cooled in cycles forever. People don't realize that we are still coming off of the tail end of and ice age and of course average temps are going up. The world has only been keeping accurate records of yearly temps for a few hundred years. That's a very small bit of the puzzle to be making huge assumptions like Al Gore has been doing all along. He got a Nobel Peace Prize for pointing out a natural phenomenon that has been going on since the beginning. The fact is simple folks...the continents move 3-6 inches a year and the tilt of the earth is on a regular cycle that makes hot/cold swings in each hemisphere. Now give me my Nobel Peace Prize!

Answer 2

It's interesting that you should choose John Coleman. If I was looking for someone to add credibility to an argument against manmade global warming he wouldn't be the first person I'd choose.

Certainly he's an educated person and a fine meteorologist, he also knows a good deal about climate change but he's not an expert on the subject. There are overlaps betwen the disciplines of climatology and meteorology but they are two separate subjects.

Although he founded the Weather Channel his opinion is completely at odds with that of the channel. The Weather Channel's official statement on climate change states "...the majority of the warming over the past century is a result of human activities. This is also the conclusion drawn, nearly unanimously, by climate scientists. Any meaningful debate on the topic amongst climate experts is over."

The wording is a bit unfortunate as it kicks Coleman in the teeth and rejects him as being an expert", perhaps not the kindest way to treat your founder. From what I can gather he is isolated amongst the other metoerologists at the Weather Channel who unanimously agree that current climate change is primarily human induced.

I don't know why Mr Coleman should go against his own channel, profession and the world's leading experts on the subject. Perhaps it's because, as one staff member commented "he's gone senile".

Answer 3

Wow, he's read DOZENS of scientific papers. Now that's credibility for you.

Well, I've read thousands of scientific papers. I read them every day. There is no scam. There is no global conspiracy to fake the data. The data are taken by too many people in too many places to fake. The loss of Arctic sea ice is already moving faster than even the most pessimistic models have predicted.

Changing the climate is like steering a supertanker: it takes a loooong time to do it. By the time the worst effects are upon us, it will be too late to turn back the clock, because of positive feedbacks in the climate system. We can prevent the worst of it, cheaply, if we act now. But you can't buy back an extinct species at any price.

Answer 4

Give me a break. The guy isn't a scientist, much less a climatologist. He has no evidence. He's just doing some political ranting. "Dastardly"? "Whackos"?

You do ask the right question. How can he see through the "scam" and 99+% of scientists, most every world leader and EVERY major scientific organization can't? The answer is simple. It's not a scam, he's wrong, and they're right.

Even The Weather Channel disagrees with him:

http://climate.weather.com/globalWarmingStatement.html
http://climate.weather.com/science/globalwarming/

Why would anybody intelligent believe him instead of thousands of Ph.D. scientists, backed by a massive database?

He seems to be a conservative. Maybe he should listen to Newt:

"Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"

Good websites for actual scientific info:

Answer 5

I have read dozens, if not hundreds of posts that state Global Warming is a hoax. These posters have no data confirming their beliefs whatsoever, which adds to their credibility. Therefore, I'm inclined to believe them.

How could they be wrong with nothing to back their claims? The statement "Global Warming is a hoax" is so powerful that it cannot be ignored.

When John Coleman gets off the hallucinogens, we should nominate him for Supreme Chancellor of Galactic Weathermen. Then and only then will our 5 day weather forecast be more accurate.

Answer 6

Gaberill,

You are wrong about Bob, he has at least two stock answers that cover most questions.

One goes along the lines of - listen to Vce Admiral Truly - he's a space man.

And the other goes something like don't listen to that guy, he doesn't have a PhD in Climatology.

Answer 7

wow good job bob and trevor for posting the same answers for every question. what you guys need to do is research more.

geez there are so many other issues out there that are so much more alarming then this.

thanks for posting this. making people will start to realize that this is a scam.
