WEATHER CHANNEL
Founder - Global Warming
'Greatest Scam in History'
By Noel Sheppard
11-10-7

If the founder of The Weather Channel spoke out strongly against the manmade global warming myth, might media members notice?

We're going to find out the answer to that question soon, for John Coleman wrote an article published at ICECAP Wednesday that should certainly garner attention from press members -- assuming journalism hasn't been completely replaced by propagandist activism, that is.

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 [sic] 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.

Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild "scientific" scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmental conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minutes documentary segment.

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. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.

In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious.

Let's hope so, John; let's hope so.

with all the planets in the solar system going thru the same "overheating" you dont have to be a scientist to realize it is a historical cycle of nature....which would occur with or without us on the planet...our activities do not melt the ice caps on mars people...

Let's see, now......

Back when I was,oh say, 10 years old, I noticed that it got cold in winter and hot in summer.


Now I'm 45, and I've noticed again, that it gets hot in summer and cold in winter.

What can I surmise from this?

If indeed "global warming" is happening, it sure ain't happening where I live .

Stop that knox!!

This is a serious topic!!

I remember when I was 10 and waiting on the school bus the fog would be so thick you could cut it with a knife!

Very rare is that so today! Something is happening. It might just be a cycle, but it isn't the same as it was then!

I heard this on Fox News yesterday, funny the mainstream media has not given it any play to my knowledge. I did see the bit on 20/20 a couple weeks ago that tried to debunk global warming but most of the "network" news media is in lock step with the global warming theory. Nobody in the media has mentioned the fact that while the Northern polar ice cap may be shrinking, the Southern polar ice cap has been growing for 10 years. I also heard on Fox News that the shrinking of the polar ice cap was predicted many years ago due to a permenent change in the prevailing wind direction. I can't remember who was the source of the prediciton.

Sorry Glen but stepping aside from the seriousness for a moment, I am waiting for someone to start "Minnesotans For Global Warming". 20 degrees below zero sucks. Glaciers are overrated and Penguins don't taste good anyway. Note: for those who are humorously challenged, this was a funny. You may laugh now.

I like my penquin medium with a little chianti & fava beans...yum yum



I'm all in favor of tropical minnesota

I don't pay attention to The Weather Channel because their weather forecasts suck!!!how accurate can they be with anything else?


Fanta i agree,there is some kind of change happening because i can remember as a kid being able to play out in the rain without the worries of Lightning,Wind,Hail...etc but you can't do that anymore unless you do want to get struck by lightning or something else.yeah we still had some pretty bad storms back then but they are alot more common now.


i'm not saying it is Global Warming and i'm not saying it isn't,just saying there's some type of change happening.

Why not, davinci?

We could go fishing all year long!!!

Oh, that's right.

Some people do (ice fishing).

I like the part where scientists were keeping track of the temperatures on the other planets for the last several centuries, just to verify the validity of this argument.

Aren't these scientists that are all on the global warming bandwagon the same ones that were predicting another ice age a few years ago.

"Why don’t polar bears eat penguins? Because their paws are too big to get the wrappers off, obviously. It’s not a joke you hear so often these days, though, because polar bears are now a serious business. They’re the standard-bearers of a tear-jerking propaganda campaign to persuade us all that, if we don’t act soon on climate change, the only thing that will remain of our snowy-furred ursine chums will be the picture on a pack of Fox’s glacier mints.

First there came the computer-generated polar bear in Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth; then that heartrending photo, syndicated everywhere, of the bears apparently stranded on a melting ice floe; then the story of those four polar bears drowned by global warming (actually, they’d perished in a storm).

Now, in a new cinema release called Earth – a magnificent, feature-length nature documentary from the makers of the BBC’s Planet Earth series – comes the most sob-inducing “evidence” of all: a poor male polar bear filmed starving to death as a result, the quaveringly emotional Patrick Stewart voiceover suggests, of global warming.

Never mind that what actually happens is that the bear stupidly has a go at a colony of walruses and ends up being gored to death.

The bear wouldn’t have done it, the film argues, if he hadn’t been so hungry and exhausted. And why was he hungry and exhausted? Because the polar ice caps are melting, thus shortening the polar bears’ seal-hunting season.

Having been up to the bears’ habitat in Svalbard, I do have a certain amount of sympathy with these concerns. To claim, however, that they are facing imminent doom is stretching the truth. In 1950, let us not forget, there were about 5,000 polar bears. Now there are 25,000."

hard to connect dots between global warming & extinction with polar bears...fearmongering

are you people for real?!! there is no question about global warming other than 'what are we going to do about it?'

i can't believe all of the time that's already been wasted trying to convince people who have no idea what they're talking about that this is actually happening! how can the same people who are so skeptical about scientific fact fail to question the walmartization of america and other mega-corporations that are simultaneously taking over and destroying the nation??


the earth's history IS full of warming and cooling cycles but there is a CATALYST behind ALL of them. the last warming phase of this magnitude was caused by the eruption of a mega-volcano. the current global warming is directly proportional to our greenhouse gas emissions from the last century.

it's not a "theory" that you should be putting in quotation marks. its goddamn real and the longer you ignorantly deny it the faster the irreversible consequences will occur.

it's certainly NOT a dumb joke about penguins and fishing. you're also not going to see obvious temperature changes until the continents have already sunken into the ocean. and if you're so goddamned cold maybe you should MOVE!

There is a great deal of question about global warming from many in the scientific community who don't buy the "consensus" of a bunch that was appointed by their various governments.

laurenisbitter: There is a lot of evidence to the contrary that the proponents of the global warming theory ignore or blow off when confronted with it. The Artic Icecap may be receeding but the Antartic Icecap has been growning for 10 years. How can this happen if the whole world is warming up? The receeding Artic icecap may be due to a change in the prevailing winds that took place around 1900 rather than global warming according to some.

My own opinion is that most of the "scientists" who promote the theory would be off on another tangent if they weren't making big bucks from the global warming craze.

The global warming proponents use junk science, outright lies, fear mongering and mass hysteria to further their cause and then cry foul if someone questions their credibility.

As I said earlier these are the same people that were predicting another ice age 10 to 15 years ago. Also the same people who predicted the 2006 and 2007 huricane seasons would be much worse than the 2005 season because of global warming.

If you have the desire to see some facts, look back on this forum a couple months ago where I posted information on the Hottest days on record and the hottest years on record in the U.
S.

You aren't old enough to be bitter. Talk to me ten years from now when your view is a little wider and all of the "The End Is Near" signs have yellowed from age. You will believe what you want to believe. Take your facts and convince the masses! I am behind you! At my age I am more concerned with Soylent Green. (before you were born)

read an interesting note on "cosmic blog"...temp on Mars has increased by 2.7 degrees in the last twenty years. How the heck are our actions warming mars up? I agree weather has changed in last 50 years, but, warmest time in last couple hundred years was in the mid thirties...I think that they are guessing, with an anti-civilisation agenda

Cool Stihl! Hunting baby seals?
