Here’s a great quote fom John Coleman, a meteorologist and founder of the Weather Channel:
“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. Other scientists of the same
environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the
‘research’ to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming
claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their
way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus… I
do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions
of either party. However, Global Warming, ie Climate Change, is not about
environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you
‘believe in.’ It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field
of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event,
a manufactured crisis and a total scam. 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. So be
it… There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate
is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril… In time, a decade or two,
the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice
cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as
predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not
falling.”
Whether global warming is a reality or not is irrelevant. The truth is that mankind is doing things that are polluting and destroying the planet daily and if we aren’t creating global warming today then we sure will be in a few years with the increase in the global demand and consumption of fossil fuels.
So let’s stop arguing about global warming and get busy stopping the decline in our environment. Join organizations like the Earth Organization (http://www.earthorganization.org/) and help do something about it.
I agree with Grahame about the necessity to clean up our environment, and applaud all efforts to do so through vehicles that run cleaner and use less fuel. The more electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles we can put on the road, the less CO2 there is going to be pumped into the atmosphere.
However, I believe that the scam of Global Warming is being used to push through legislation, regulations and agreements that will hurt all of us in the long run.
I’m of the opinion that the purpose of pushing the myth of Global Warming is to scare enough people that they will fall for the solutions being offered, even though they restrict our freedoms and are there to solve non-existent problems.
It does matter whether man made global warming is true or not. You cannot base a political movement that will intrude into the lives of billions of people and cost trillions of dollars on lies and phony science just because you think the end justifys the means. The Soviets tried something like that. We need real live American debate on man made global warming rather than the one sided propaganda that is spewed by the press.
To Grahame:
Sure we need to keep our planet clean, but Global Warming being a scam or not is not irrelevant. We are wasting time, effort, and money on lowering greenhouse gases when what we should really be doing to creating water treatment plants all over the world to clean out the worlds fresh water sources, devising biodegradable materials to replace plastic, and indeed improving our cars and factories so they don’t pump out so much nasty smoke. In addition to taking us away from the real problems, Global Warming is also being used to pass needless legislation that will practically tax companies out of business and make hundreds of thousands.
To Owner:
CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a naturally occurring gass that is necessary for plants to live. It does absolutely nothing to damage the environment, leftist environmentalists who know this fact only want to label it as a pollutant so that can tax it to feed their big controlling governments.
Check out my blog for a video where an Australian scientist proves that CO2 is not only not a pollutant, but the current warming trend, historically speaking, not abnormal for Earth at all, and in fact for the past 8 years the warming has stabilized and we may be in for a global COOLING in the next few decades or so.

I agree with Mr. Coleman 100%!! I am so tired of being duped by the news media and politicians with agendas. Congratulations, Mr. Coleman for having the guts to speak the truth!!
